The Lionel Highway Crossing Gate No. 262 was available beginning in 1962 and would continue to be produced until the end of the post-war period. This signal worked off of a No. 145C track contact that was placed beneath the track. The weight of a passing train would trigger the gate to lower and the lights to turn on. The lights would not flash like the No. 154, and the gate did not have the clear plastic light strip as did the No. 252.
