Abstract: An improved building structure and construction method is disclosed wherein the wall structure includes internal wall forms with cementitious material applied thereon. A reinforcing structure for the cementitious material is provided whereby the foundation wall structure and roof structure are operatively interconnected in a load bearing relationship so that the strength and durability is significantly enhanced. The apparatus for attaching the internal wall forms to the roof structure includes means for conveniently aligning the wall forms in a straight and plumb relationship before the cementitious material is applied.

Abstract: A railway pivotal crossing gate is made with a modular construction to facilitate repair of the gate. The gate modules are preferably of alternating colors along the length of the gate and have exposed parallelogram configurations so the gate has slash markings. Each module includes an elongated body that is preferably injection molded from a translucent plastic with a hollow construction. Male and female ends of each module interfit with ends of adjacent modules to permit self-threading fasteners to interconnect the modules in a detachable manner. Lights are mounted within certain modules so these modules glow and thereby light the gate. Interconnected wire harnesses of the modules are utilized to energize the lights. The unlighted modules preferably mount light reflectors. The gate modules may have hollow rectangular or trapezoidal cross-sections, the latter being useful in conserving the material from which the modules are molded.
