Talk about other non-signal stuff here. Make sure to obey the rules though.

I wonder if its being used for storage.
Bingo.
That crossing is also a rather nice one. The signal near the container appears to be a 1980s CSX install that had the bell and gate mech replaced:

The other one appears to be an early to mid 2000s install with a Fabricated Metals base on it:

Either way, I personally wouldn't mind recording that crossing, it does seem to be a rather nice one, even if it has been rather modernized.
They/Them for me, please.

Shouldn't this sign say "Slippery when Ice is present" or something like that? I can't think of a time I've almost slipped on concrete that was wet.

It's probably warning about this wooden bridge just beyond the sign, as wood can get rather slick when it gets wet:

Old incandescent Durasigs, that, based on the condition of the worded pedestrian signals there, likely haven't been maintained very well.
