What the heck are they called? I know the whole thing is referred to as a
grade crossing, but other than crossbucks, I don’t know what to call it.

The red/white bar is called the crossing gate I think. I don’t think there are
any fancy/complicated names for the parts.

sweet. that’s one of the better solutions i’ve seen for this. i think it was
the ltc from georga that had the automated grade crossing at brickfest 2003.
from what i remember it was very relyable and worked with magnents and a
light sensor. they had there sensors mounted next to the track allthough if
built compact enough i think it would work under the rails as well. let me
know how it works out. i’ll be needing some automated crossings soon myself.

I think it was not NGLTC, but rather GFLTC, specifically Robin Werner’s work. I
think Robin put up a link to info about it, but I could be wrong. NELUG’s Chris
Phillips has one as well, and I think he’s published some info on it too.
Quick searches came up empty but I think harder searches might find the
references.
Hope that helps.
