The crossbuck lettering at 9:09 indicates that Conrail used to own that line before CSX took over. Conrail was fond of that "Harmon" font for their crossings. There are some former Conrail crossings in Taunton MA that still have crossbucks like that (CSX and Mass Coastal now operate through them.)

I know that this crossing was pretty open, but there are a lot of crossings with a blind spot (say, a line of trees or a tall fence) where you can’t see the train until the last second, so a crossing with JUST a bell would be bad because drivers would drive in front of a train if they couldn’t hear the crossing bell or see the train until the very last second.
