I am not certain where this is, but I read earlier that there was a sign
referring to the crossing and the booms being down before proceeding.

If this is the case, it is more than likely a siding without signals
protecting, and a simple track circuit on the level crossing only.

Only a "wrong side" failure would allow a train, a signal, and NO level xing
protection.

The first respondant to this thread added the signal into the equation, I
don't think there was one...

Can someone please give us the location, so we can find out what we are
actually rabbitting on about..
