Check this out:

The cantilever on the right has 2 sets of lights on it... I vaguely remember seeing this one other time. Can't remember if it was in person, or on-line somewhere. Definitely are rarity I believe.

This crossing by the way has since been upgraded to more modern equipment.

I'm guessing it could be specially ordered if a railroad wanted to have multiple lights on the overhead part of the cantilever with those signals.

Wow, I know I've seen this with Safetran/RACO/Griswold's old style, but not WRRS/FS/WCH! :Blink:

Reminds me of one I saw a picture of in South Carolina on a CSX line.

Whoops, looks like they mounted the mount on upside-down. :LOL3:
