Unusual Crossing Signal - Elliston, VA

[NW Mailing List]

What is the story behind this most unusual grade crossing signal near 
Elliston?  Were these once common throughout the N&W system?  When was this 
installed and are there any others in existance?  I've never seen anything 
like this anywhere else.  Any information and background is appreciated.
