From my earliest childhood memories, train crossing gates have always interested & fascinated me (over 70 yrs).....What an interesting mix of modern electronics still activating big 'ole Electro-mechanical relays that require regular maintenance Contacts sanding & cleaning...Thx for the vid...

I have a question, how can you tell the difference from a S-20, S-40, And S-60 from the exterior of the gate mechanism

You cannot tell the difference between them from the outside alone. All versions of the S-20, S-40 and S-60 mechanisms are still made and use the exact same mechanism housing. There have been quite a few slight revisions of the casted housing but nothing super different or able to distinguish them apart. You can tell an S-60 from the S-20/40 mechs by the sound difference when it is operating (going up or down). This is because the S-60 uses a louder motor and a hold clear brake instead of a hold clear device on the S-60. There is no way to tell the difference between S-20 and S-40 mechs operating or look from the outside.

Are the gate mechs heated somehow. So that they work in really cold weather. I live in the Midwest, so it gets bitter sometimes, but the gayes always work, so ive always been curious. Thanks

Yes, they definitely can be heated and it is through a low ohm resistor that they are heated. Here in south Texas it never drops below freezing but for a week every year so you don’t see them implemented here.
