Mike's Railroad Crossing Forum

In regards to a previous post I made on another thread... I did some perusing around the Kinston NC area. Found this crossing with a rather peculiar way of installing the gate. Just seems like a lot of trouble to me... but maybe less trouble then installing a separate mast for the gate?

Looks like one of those Lincoln Industries Cantilevers

Nothing really different except for less digging, running less conduit, less wiring, among other crap for another signal
Only thing I don't like is it's next to impossible to install a gate saver on that. Although gate savers have a hard time saving a fiberglass and longer gates anyway.
Also Lincoln Industries Cantilevers are great, nice to work on.
