*originally recorded on 1-26-18*

Signal on the left: 1 pair of Harmon 12x20 inch lights, 1 pair of Modern Industries 12x20 inch lights, a WCH mechanical bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, and NEG LED gate lights.
Signal on the far right: 2 pairs of Harmon 12x20 inch lights, a WCH mechanical bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, and NEG gate lights.
Signal on the near right: 1 pair of Harmon 12x20 inch lights, a Safetran gate mechanism, and NEG gate lights.

In the first video, the NERR was doing some switching in the small yard at the north end of the branch before shoving back to the first customer that they were going to switch, but while I was waiting, this signal maintainer came up and did the monthly check on the signals at the crossing.

This crossing here is kinda interesting, and not just because it's the only gated crossing on this branch line. The signals themselves appear to have been installed around the same time as the ones at Merrit Street (or at least slightly before those), but it appears that the signal on the left was hit but a truck so the railroad re-used some third generation MI 12x20s from another crossing. This is also another crossing like CR 119 in Limrock, where you have a road that splits in two to intersect another road (though technically, the road that's being intersected by Brideway Avenue here is two separate roads as it changes names at this intersection), though this time one of the legs ends at a rather weird signalized intersection just behind the camera. It also appears that one of the Safetran gate mechs was replaced with a newer one at some point, as one of them doesn't have any Harmon counterweight arms on it like the others. Both WCH mechanical bells sound rather nice though.
