The real question that i'm asking is who on earth would stick a sign regarding trains and detours on the crossing gate!

Solar powered relay case?

The cantilevers seem to be rather far from the road.

This is a first.

They are really taking relay case vandalism seriously here!

One signal wonder.

For visibility reasons, for obvious reasons.

A light above the crossbuck to make it visible? Never knew these were a thing.

That's the original Griswold signal model! Like THE original. Quite possibly the first of its kind to ever feature alternating flashing lights as we know them today in history.

Sadly that one was gone by 2011. :(
