This crossing is located on the south track of the CSX Mt. Victory Sub.

This is a very strange setup here.  There are 2 gateless mast signals and 2 gated cantilevers.  However, the gates are only the sidewalks and not for the road.  I have no idea why this is the case, but it's very unique to say the least.  This and Prospect St. #2 are the only crossings I've ever seen with gates for the sidewalks and not the road.

Here's a video from 2011 of this crossing in action, and you'll also see at the end another little alley crossing that had a standalone Safetran Hybrid bell, which has since been removed.

The northeastern pedestrian gate.  I'm not sure why this crossing has a bell and Prospect St. #2 does not.  It would also explain this still has incandescents and the other has LEDs.

Now here's something bizarre. Google Street View pictures from September 2019 show that all of the lights at this crossing were replaced with new LEDs, however, by the time I returned here in September 2020, this whole setup was replaced with a brand new cantilever and mast signal, with this crossing no longer having pedestrian gates, plus one of the turn signals was removed.
