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 a 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.

[@molossis]

I like how canada has to be soooo different from the usa that they have a sign with a black octagon crossed out in red with a line and tracks going through the line

[@tiernanstrains]

That's just an extra sign for "do not stop on tracks" similar to the "no parking" one under it. It doesn't appear to be mandatory as far as I know - just an extra "don't be stupid" reminder for in-city crossings.
