Mike's Railroad Crossing Forum

So, anyone have ideas on what this dude's function could be?
Belton, MO.
Belton, Grandview and Kansas City Railroad

Edit:
Ah, there are supposed to be two of them. Must be some kind of indication to the railroad of traffic signal preemption?

That would be my guess. I don't know that there should be 2 of them necessarily. Using a rotating light like that is actually a pretty smart idea if you ask me. 360 visability... and much easier to see in the daytime from a distance.

That's what it appears to be to me as well.
