Weird US&S Lenses

Just like in my current avatar, Court Street Crossing in Sunbury has this set of lights with protruding lenses and are attached to a power pole

One thing I find odd about this is that this crossing is logged into the site but doesn't mention these lights. And they were never removed because you can find them in various videos of trains going through Sunbury and the video link I posted has pictures that I took on April 24th 2019.

I've seen those before. Those were 160° lenses which were intended to improve visibility, but are somewhat rare to find now.

Good point, but either way the Sunbury crossings have been talked about here in the past as well.

EDIT: by you nonetheless. viewtopic.php?f=17&t=2645

The point of this thread was more focused in part of the lenses on this crossing but okay.

To be honest, Sunbury is really the only place I know that these exist.

Some of the Ex- D&H (or maybe Ex-PRR) in Scranton has some but they're either removed or abandoned:
