  1. There was one of these on the CP Goderich Sub between Guelph Jct & Guelph (sans French text on the crossbuck). The crossing was even referred to by crews as “the Danger Bell crossing”.

  2. Definitely unique, I don’t recall seeing that type of crossing warning device during my railway days.

  3. In the Family Days festivities in 1981 at Quebec Street in London, the signals dept had a display & one of these signals was included. I don’t recall that it was bilingual, but someone said it came from “Northern Ontario”. It may have been the one from the Goderich Sub, or perhaps there was at least one more unilingual example?
