Check out this gateless 7-lane crossing on a highway that doesn't have a single bell at it!

Also, NS seems to have a thing for tall mast signals:

Makes you wonder why they added the mast
extensions with the hybrid bells and gate keepers on these... when the gates don't go up all the way.
Notice the
extensions went byebye when they were switched to e-bells.

Those are some amazing Griswolds right there! Nice find!
However, looking around the area in you link brought my attention to the fact that
this crossing could be a quiet zone, which is a bit disconcerting.
Though this abandoned crossing could've been the quiet zone, as there is an
exempt sign posted with the advance warning signs:

And here's an active crossing signal:

That area changed quite a bit in the last 6 years. Check out the old look... can't figure out why these stop signs are in a box?

Those are back-lit stop signs, I believe.

Some cool old signals.

There is a crossbuck post here, there must have been another crossing here at one point.

This is probably the farthest crossbuck from the crossing that I've ever seen.
