Can anyone find any Mexico railroad crossing signals?
Here's the first one I've found on Google Maps:

Mexico has tons of crossings throughout their nation but a lot of them are sadly in disrepair

I know, I just wanted some Google Maps Street View links of some crossings.

You can't search for them yourself?

I wanted to see who could find any interesting ones, I couldn't find.

Found one that's in good condition, and has REAL lights! They appear to be Safetran 12x20" lights and one signal has a Safetran type 3 electronic bell!

That deal on the signal in that 4th link isn't a bell. It's a light that blinks to let the train crew know that the signals are active and working fine

Looks like they were originally gated.

Indeed, i have seen quite a lot of crossings that had gates, but either if the gates were damaged or the mechanism was damaged/broken, removing them was the only solution, dependant on the cost...
