Lovely! Glad there's still the pic of me flailing out the front window of the 40 hauled train

Nice pics. Am I right in thinking most level crossings using the red/white light system do it automatically rather than there being any intervention by the driver?

I think that is a plunger on the right hand side of the track, it's either a plunger or treadle. In the other direction, the crossing must be automatic as the train didn't stop for it.

What normally happens on white/red light crossings is a small, trackside red light is shown when the barriers are open. When the crossing barriers are closed and/or the road lights are flashing to stop cars then the small red light at the trackside turns into a small flashing white light indicating it is safe to proceed across the crossing.
