I know of a crosing like this in Stoutland, Missouri. The main street crossing has just crossbucks and a bell. (On top of a metal pole/controlbox) It is Located on BNSF's Cuba Subdivision, which has / had many unusual crossing warning devices. One, in Rolla, Missouri, has no bell, just Two lights, one above the other on a pole about four feet tall. The top light flashes yellow at the pace of a normal crossing light. The bottom light Stays lit the entire time the train is passing and says "NO RIGHT TURN". The device on the other side is the same excexpt it reads, "NO LEFT TURN". One still has it's original SLSF identificition tag made out of laminated paper. The reason for the no turn signs is the crossing, Rolla Street, is located at an intersection. However, the signals' days are limited. BNSF is replacing most of the signals in Rolla, and these will be replaced by gates. <br /> <br />-Brian
