The gate motor on that pedestrian gate looks like what is/was out at Old River Road

Triangles, 8 inch, and similar funny looking gate motors

This probably should be posted under it's own subject...

But anyway, those are some nice triangle signals, and that track looks like it is used quite frequently based on the condition.

I did some exploring in that area... that same track takes a huge loop just south of these crossings... check it out below. I traced a red line as best I could with my mouse to make it stand out a little better.

That's Dunsmuir grade; quite a pull too judging from the switchbacks. Pretty area too.
