What do the signs mean?

I'm sorry, I did forget to mention this is on the BNSF track about 45 miles North of Sioux City, Iowa. I noticed this morning that at a major highway crossing of this same line at Highway #10 (which is about 39 miles North of Sioux City, IA) there are the same solid black diagonal signs about 100 yards on both sides of the crossing so that both North and South trains would see them. The pic I posted yesterday was near a gravel road grade crossing about 100 yards south of the crossing so that Northbound trains would see it. <br /> <br />The signs in question are solid black, no holes, no wording and the diagonal low point is always closest to the rail. The high side is up and away from the track. I noted the substations near both of the crossings do have mile post numbers clearly readable so I thought these black sign would have some other meaning.
