I've never seen bilingual crossbucks before, but I don't know a whole lot about Canadian railroads. Bilingual makes perfect sense!
JOHN C TARANTO Any more wig-wags out there?

This grade crossing is on my layout. I think wig-wag signals are cool and interesting so I used them instead of the more "traditional" crossbucks. There's a single-track grade crossing just beyond the double-track in the foreground. It's protected by the older "magnetic flagman" signals.

From my old layout, a driver foolishly goes around the gates after a freight train passes, forgetting about the second track.

No request in a day...
How about another wooden crossing?
Hand laid grade crossing using Kappler HO narrow gauge ties. Still needs some touch up work and ramps from the roadway.
Hi John,
These were Rail Works Ltd. P30a brass models made by Woosung. R158 is the round window and R159 the square window version. I got them a few years ago as unpainted models from different sellers on Ebay. Either luck or patience, they were both very reasonable, cost-wise.
Some photos of the prototypes here:
