Claim 20:
21. The crossing gate mechanism as claimed in claim 1,
said terminal board comprising a front surface, an opposite back surface, and plurality of double-sided terminals,
each double-sided terminal extending through the terminal board such that a first terminal portion extends outward from the front surface and a second terminal portion extends outward from the back surface;
a plurality of power and control wires extending into the interior space of the gate mechanism enclosure,
the power and control wires coupled to a remote crossing control logic unit located remote from the crossing gate mechanism,
each power and control wire being coupled to the first terminal portion of one of the double-sided terminals; and
a local electrical connection wire,
said local electrical connection wire being coupled to the second terminal portion of one of the double-sided terminals and the electrical component,
said local electrical connection wire being substantially inaccessible when the terminal board is in the operative configuration, and accessible for servicing when the terminal board is in the access configuration.
