Signal on the left: 2 pairs of WCH 12x24 inch lights with GE Uniform Look LEDs, a General Signals Type 3 electronic bell, a WCH gate mechanism, and RECO LED gate lights.
Signal on the right: 2 pairs of WCH 12x24 inch lights with GE Uniform Look LEDs, a General Signals Type 2 electronic bell, a WCH gate mechanism, and RECO LED gate lights.
These signals are pretty recent ones for the ATN, with the signals only having been installed in October of 2015 (from what I understand), replacing a pair of crossbucks. Last time I was here, the old crossbucks were still laying on the ground and the cover gate mech on the left had fallen open despite the signals still being brand new at the time (and I did report it to the railroad), which has since been fixed as you can see, though I didn't notice if the old crossbucks were still laying there. I wasn't sure if this crossing would have GS Type 2s or GS Type 3s, but I certainly wasn't expecting both here! The bells also ring until the gates have lowered, and then again when the gates rise.
