       6-62162 AUTO CROSSING GATE AND SIGNAL
       By: njjrjohn Date: May 3, 2019, 8:12 pm

       The two lamps on this signal are wired to flash simultaneously,
       i.e., both flash on and off at the same time.  What would I need
       to rewire them so that each bulb flashes alternately?  It's
       probably a different board, or chip to replace the one that's
       originally built into the unit, but I don't know what part it
       would be.  Thank you.

       This is to update my question.  After studying how these signals
       work a little more, I don't think there is any built in
       mechanism that makes the lamps alternate.  I am guessing the
       alternate flashing is created by the controller that is used to
       wire them to the track.  Does that sound right?  Does anyone
       know anything about this?

       The Crossing Gate would have to be modified if you want the
       lights to blink alternately. Each bulb would have to be wired to
       a separate activator, an electronic board, or insulated track
       sections that will effect the blinking.
