One other fun type are the user operated gates. Normal farm gates on both sides of the railway, with a red/green aspect light telling you if it is safe to open the gate. Once you've driven through you have to stop and then close the gates. Last time I used one of them, by the time I walked back to close the first gate the signal had gone red so I waited. We also still have some full barrier crossings operated by a signalman near me. There's something pleasing about that.
