The red triangle with a steam loco is used as part of the crossing signage addressed at road users rather than normal road signage (if you get the distinction?)
Also used for the lifting bridge, amusingly.

The whole setup is well worth a look on Street View for those who aren't familiar with it.

It could refer to the quayside tramway, which terminates on the footway at the other side of the bridge and rematerialises in the middle of the roundabout?

I have always thought that the front view pictogram looks like a Ford Anglia 100E with its three barred grille.
