Comments on: A rather unusual set of crossing signals, with bilingual crossbucks and top illuminating “Danger” sign, at one of the grade crossings along Canadian Pacific’s line to Maniwaki in 1982.

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?

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

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”.
