Since I no longer have the originals, I have a rendition of what the grade crossing/rerailer looked like. I've been trying to hunt down 2 of these for years. They're from the 70s, brass track, non-operating pneumatic crossing gates. Everything was black pastic, the base was basically square, maybe 4 inches wide, but beveled up so the road could meet the tracks, tapered down at the corners. Nothing like the thin Atlas rerailers we have today. I thought Atlas may have made these, but not sure.
I like caffeine and a chainsaw ...

Awesome. You hit the spike on the head! Thanks! Now that I was able to find an image - I can begin my search for 2 of these!

You are right! I have two of these pieces, but do not have the gates that go with them though.
