Re: [TramsDownUnder] Mystery (Tramway?) Signal

Thank you to every one for your replies. Now to my next, taxonomical, question: is it a railway or a tramway signal?! (It would have been operated by the railway signalman, I presume, or operated automatically when the gates went down, but applied to a tramway.)

I came across this photograph on Pinterest today. I suspect it has already been discussed on TDU, as it seems vaguely familiar. Is it a tramway signal, to indicate when to cross the railway line, perhaps?

Here's the old disc signal at Kooyong - now out of use.

You can see the current replacement - road traffic lights - with T lights.

Kooyong and Riversdale Rd both also had catch points on the downgrade leading to the crossing.
