The southern signal. I'm not sure
how this got a hybrid bell. When the signals were new this had a
GS Type 1. It's also even more odd because this line is ex
B&O, not Conrail. It would've made more sense to have it on Kniffin
St. #1.

On 5-14-25, Nicholas Miles made a return
trip to this crossing and discovered all the lights were upgraded to
LED. Along with that, both gate mechanisms were replaced with Siemens
gate mechanisms. Not sure why they also had to replace the gate
mechanisms.
In the 1st video below, the crossing
had a major malfunction; the light relay got stuck and the lights
remained stuck for the entire sequence. You'll notice however the
gate lights on the southern signal still work just fine. This
crossing acts as a double crossing with Kniffin St. #1 and the gate
lights on that signal are controlled by Kniffin St. #1's relays, not
this crossings. The problem was fixed at some point, as confirmed
in the 2nd video.
