Here's something a bit unique found in Rancho Cordova, CA:

https://www.google.com/maps/@38.605396, ... 312!8i6656

Those lights have no visors: https://www.google.com/maps/@38.605558, ... 312!8i6656

Here's a video of the crossing in action... you can see the lights on the bridge a couple of times at least:

What an odd set-up.

Also, here's an active crossing with BNSF in the distance in Birmingham:

Looks like a train was headed for 56th Street! This is the Neve wye spur through Tampa, FL.

The lights on the closer signal aren't Griswold I don't think... kind of spaced odd too. The other one definitely is completely Griswold though.

I'm not so sure about that. I think that signal without the Griswold lights is actually a RACO signal. The base is the same of that to an EM signal as well, but without the gates.

I know that, but I wasn't taking about that one :Confused:
