Mooresville Road, Belle Mina, AL

Signal on the left: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x20 inch lights, a Safetran mechanical bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, and RECO gate lights.
Signal on the right: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x24 inch lights, a Safetran gate mechanism, and RECO gate lights.

Your eyes aren't deceiving you, the bell here does start up before the lights do.
They/Them for me, please.

Finally got a recording of the new signals here!



Signal on the left: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x20 inch lights, a Safetran Type-3 electronic bell, a Siemens gate mechanism, and RECO gate lights.
Signal on the right: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x20 inch lights, a Siemens gate mechanism, and non-functional RECO gate lights.

It appears that someone cut the wire to the gate lights on the signal on the right. Interestingly enough, they re-used the gates, gate lights, and relay case for the new signals from the old ones, which also means that the signals still retain the delay in the lights starting!
They/Them for me, please.

No major changes as of 8-5-20:


However, it does appear that NS is preparing to replace the relay case here, so I'm not sure how much longer the crossing will retain its current activation sequence.

New relay case has been installed, but the old one is still running the crossing. No other major changes here as of this evening.
