Description
I have for you one more drawing of my American "Red and Custard" passenger train, using a steam locomotive and 19th century style passengers cars.

This one is also going through a railroad crossing but one with active warning devices: flashing lights, ringing bells, and gates. I also decided to include two automobiles stopped waiting for this train to go by. This crossing is supposed to be in a town but I was too lazy to draw buildings and stuff.

The gates are supposed to be wooden wishbone gates but newly-fabricated wooden gates and with vertical striping, as M.U.T.C.D. rules require. The gate is kind of modeled after this one in this video www.pond5.com/stock-footage/83… This isn't an American crossing but the gates look American, they have vertical stripes, they have three 4" lights, and they are wishbone gates. The stripes in the video look longer though but they look like the gates we use now. This is another video of the same gates www.pond5.com/stock-footage/83… This railroad line does have single-bar type gates.

The crossing signal is supposed to have 8" L.E.D.s and the gate lights are 4" L.E.D.s. I haven't decided if all signalized crossings are going to have 8" L.E.D.s or if some will be 12". But all crossings have L.E.D.s., both on signals and on gates. And you can see a mechanical bell on the signal.

Thanks for looking.
