Found this one just looking up a location of a YouTube video and then checking other crossings on the same line.

What was it upgraded to?

The crossing now has Safetran Bases, Safetran 12x20" lights with GE Uniform Look LEDs and a Siemens Electronic Bell.

Siemens electronic bell?

Safetran Type 3. Some people prefer to call the current ones Siemens e-bells (or Invensys Rail e-bells for the ones that were made by Invensys Rail). Aside from a shorter base on the Safetran Type 3s made by Invensys Rail onwards, no major changes have been made to the bells, AFAIK.

Maybe it's just me, but unless their marks are on the bells (plausible?), then it might be best to refer to them as what they've been called for a long time, for the sake of consistency. And even "type-x" is still an unofficial name at that.

I can understand the gate mechs being called Invensys and Siemens since those have been updated, but a good chunk of equipment still gets slapped with the Safetran branding. I don't know if bases or masts are rebranded, though.

The 5 inch bases have been updated, doesn't appear to be so for the 4 inch ones though.

Oh, and cantilevers as well. Specifically, if my favorite, the WT-F, is still made.

Would have to double-check the catalog on the WT/F, but I know the current Siemens cantilevers (and Invensys Rail ones as well, possibly) use RACO logos on the junction boxes on the masts, for some reason.
