Re: Oldest set of flashing lights at a road crossing still in situ

Its not flashing lights but its related....

I was in Murrabit a couple of years ago, and there remains the only example I
have seen of the old style level crossing 'crossbucks' warning sign.  This is
the type with wooden arms set at 90 degrees.  Are there any others (other than
in preservation)?  Is the one at Murrabit still there?
