On 10-12-19, I made a return trip to the crossing to correct a mistake I had made above and only just noticed on Google Street View recently.

The bell-less signal actually has a mixture of three WRRS 8 inch lights and a Modern Industries 8 inch light! MI 8 inchers are quite rare to find here in Alabama, so this is nice to see.

There is now also a pile of gravel around the base of the bell-less signal, for some reason.

Another return trip I made on 4-3-20 found that the WRRS mechanical bell here was replaced with a WCH e-bell! Now there's only one WRRS mechanical bell left on the ATN.

The pile of gravel around the base of the bell-less signal has also been removed.
