I think it was named after a guy with the last name of Slaughter.

Got another video of this crossing today. The gate mechanism on the right sounds much worser now.

Signal on the left: 4 pairs of Safetran 12x20 inch lights, a General Signals Type 2 electronic bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, and RECO LED gate lights.
Signal on the right: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x20 inch lights, a General Signals Type 2 electronic bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, and RECO LED gate lights.

Like the other two crossings I recorded yesterday, not much has changed here and still retains the rather noisy Safetran gate mech on this side. However, a bit surprisingly, the crossing had both gate arms replaced, and the gate lights were upgraded to RECO LED gate lights.
