That’s odd. There is a cross arm to stop traffic, yet, no wig wags in that direction, they are aimed at the 3042.

There’s a pole right next to each gate (out of the picture) with overhead bi-directional signals and a lower mounted signal aimed at traffic approaching the crossing.

Good observation and explanation. The guy taking the photo should have zoomed out a bit more.

This is a dangerous crossing going both ways.Southbound he comes around a curve and there is the crossing. Northbound he comes under the Grimsby sub and there is Beach Rd with no time to dump the air.

the crossing goes off pretty well in advance of them getting there, especially considering how slow they’re going
