I agree, very spiffy.

Crossings get gates at various points in history, based on local grousing, the
railroad's capital budget, the actual traffic observed at the crossing, federal

having differently colored and organized mechanisms at different crossings.

Having different ones at the SAME crossing is rarer but never say there's NO
prototype, usually there is, somewhere.
