The sixth train I caught on the Hempstead Branch was an eastbound LIRR M7 train stopping at the Garden City station just east of this crossing.

This crossing is another LIRR Safetran install, though with a few things different like the left-hand signal having had the original gate mechanism and bell replaced on it at some point. The right-hand signal is also extremely tall for some reason, and as a result, the bell is also mounted on the front-side of the mast. It also seems that Safetran mechanical bells are rare on the Long Island Railroad.

The near signal got a new WCH gate mech and new GS bell

Great Catch! The tall mast also reminds me again of S Watt Ave when the light rail use to come through the crossing their was a shoulder signal that had a tall mast and a camera on it.

Why does it take so long for the train to get to the crossing after the gates go down?
