Not all of the crossings that I've seen have these type derails on them and the one on the COER and others that I've seen photos of, don't have derails at all. The derail on the south side of the NS crossing in Shelbyville is a typical hinged derail like this:     Both types of derails are available in HO scale.

Most of the gate protected crossings that I've seen are like the one in the photo, although I'm sure there are variations. They are usually very simple affairs with either a stop sign on them like the one in the photo or some other sort or red marker - often with a red light or lights for visibility at night.
