Just east of Tilbury are a pair of old “wig-wag” style railway crossings. Instead of the alternating lights, these old signals have a reflective disc on a pendulum that swings when a train is approaching. There are very few left- these two are located on a pair of crossings very close to each other, on Gleeson Line and Morris Line, respectively. The above example is the Gleeson Line location.
