I call them square because of the part that the gate is on on the mast is like a square,my friend calls them square gates also.I don't see crossings like that around Pine Bluff except the one at a paper mill.

The gate arm is rectangle shaped, just like any other standard gate arm in the US. The rear cover of the mechanism is square, but that's pretty normal also. The counterweight support arms are triangle shaped, and aren't very common. The only "square" thing I see in the pic other than the rear cover is the counterweights.

That's what I meant,I know those counterweight supports are not common,but that's all I know that crossing for,that counterweight support,my friend calls them square gates,I know what he's referring to.

We understand, you have a friend. Congradulations to you. Apparently he is geometrically challenged also. Congradulations to him as well. I understand how y'all get can along.

However, the gate is not square. Neither are the counterweight support arms. ...Seriously.

You should inform your friend.
