They HAD to mount the gates upside down....

I don't know about you, but seeing a white light (broken lens) doesn't appeal to me at all.

Yeah, it quit. That practice has apparently been around for awhile.

The first time I heard a bell quit was on the Metro Blue Line back in 1988.

Yep, the contact has always been in the mechanisms. It was just up to the railroad to use it or not...
