Here's a brief summary of Canadian railroad crossings. So, these crossings have a lot of things in common to railroad crossings you'd find in the United States. However, there are certainly some noticeable differences, with the biggest difference being the crossbuck. Since 1986, Canada has used the style of crossbuck that you see in pretty much almost all crossings in Canada, having a red outline and no text at all unlike in the US. Before the year given above, most areas had similar crossbucks to the US, except they displayed "Railway Crossing" instead of "Railroad Crossing". In the province of Quebec though, the crossbucks there were unique, being multi-lingual ones. Those crossbucks there displayed the text in English and French. Although not really noticeable if you're not a crossing buff, but Canadian crossings are known to having less of a variety of lights and bells. Unlike most parts of the US, 12x20" lights highly dominate here in Canada, with almost all of them having either GE Uniform Look or Harmon Fading for LED inserts due to Transport Canada regulations, although there are a few exceptions with some railroads. Because of the regulations, almost all of the old incandescent lights (mainly being 8" lights) are gone from all of the mainlines. Many of those lights were also replaced along spurs/branchlines and shortlines as well. So, enjoy an over 20-minute compilation of Canadian railroad crossings from coast to coast.
Also noting that since this is a compilation, almost all of the videos that have been put here were shortened by a lot. So, feel free to ask me to link you to the full videos of these crossings.

The first clip has by far the best lyrics, but the solo was long and boring.
Lyrics? Are you tripping with music?
@@TheRailfan360 No.
That was a joke.
I have tripped on music though but that was already some forty years ago.
@@FrankHeuvelman At least your (I'm assuming) interest in trains has stuck with you after all this time.
@@TheRailfan360 Well, I wouldn't have watched your video if I wasn't interested, would I?
@@FrankHeuvelman But this is The BC Railfan's video 🤔
