This is the Markham Street level crossing at Armidale, New South Wales. It is located on what remains of the Main Northern Line which once went all the way into Queensland but now ends at Armidale.
It was recently announced that this crossing will be upgraded with new gated signals in the near future https://minister.infrastructure.gov.au/c-king/media-release/nsw-track-life-saving-level-crossing-upgrades
These signals were installed on January 22, 1987. Three of the signals have similar equipment which comprises of an unmarked base and Westinghouse crossarm with Western Cullen Hayes lights, fitted with Aldridge LED inserts.
A fourth signal on the northern side of the crossing has an unmarked base and McKenzie & Holland crossarm with Westinghouse lights, fitted with Aldridge LED inserts. There is also a Western Cullen Hayes mechanical bell on the northern side of the crossing.
