Rail Crossing

Gepwin created the best crossing I've seen, it either stops the player or the train crossing, depending on who get their first, but it requires a clean stretch of tracks to work.

That didn't work so well as a station crossing, so I ended up with this design instead.
It uses the bottom left rail signal to close the gate for the player, either using yellow (reserved stretch of track) or red. The upper left rail signal is used to close the track to any chain signals on the right of the crossing. (No chain signals included since that is part of whatever turn design you use for the train to enter the single track station.)

I use this crossing.

The crossing prioritizes the train (player gates are normally closed) and only requires 1 combinator.
I use two of them together, but operating independently (1 for East-bound track and 1 for West-bound track).
Works fine, fails safe, and drains to the bilge.

I recently created this crossing. It doesn't use any combinators, so it doesn't need power either.
It makes use of the fact that the 'Close Signal' condition only has an effect when the signal would otherwise be green. The player gate will open once the signal acknowledges it's closed by not outputting 'S'.
The two crossings in the picture are not connected. But you can connect them if you prefer, in that case the gates will only open if both tracks are clear.

Does also anyone wonder why the middle signal color is orange?

I liked this designed, it's great without the need for combinators.

Its not actually orange if you look closely because its ties to the circuit network it has a yellow box around the red light giving the illusion that its orange.
