Yep, not the information I got from YouTube
Personally, I was expecting Dialight, as that's what Conrail has typically used.
Do new Dialight installs still go up though? I personally haven't seen any new ones of those since the early 2010s.
Yep. These crossings all have new Dialight LEDs at them:

A lot of those seem to look like retrofit installs, too.

Most of them were, the first and third ones weren't.

They have finished the rest of the signals about a month ago. Everything looks nice. They still didn't wire up the signals correctly though (which I doubt will ever happen) I will get some videos later of Oak St. :Grin:
