I think y'all seem t'ave missed seeing that four-high stack of yellow cylinders, next to the track, that points along the track toward a train approaching the road. It'd be on the train's left-hand side as the train approaches. There's a similar setup (shown here) across the road for trains approaching from the other direction. I think the OP was asking about those devices, not the the signal lights hanging over the roadway. How are those four-light signals used?
