Lake Road (AL 227), Guntersville, AL
*originally recorded on 3-8-18*
Signal on the left: 3 pairs of Harmon 12x24 inch lights.
Signal on the right: 4 pairs of Modern Industries 12x24 inch lights.
Morrow Street signal: 1 pair of WCH 12x20 inch lights and a General Signals Type 3 electronic bell.
This crossing is a bit of an interesting one. First off, it's the northernmost signalized crossing on the ATN, as well as being the only signalized crossing in Guntersville. It's also one of only 6 gateless crossings on this part of the ATN. The signal on the right is an old Modern Industries cantilever, which I think dates back to the Seaboard System as the data plate on the back of it says "SSR" for the customer. The far signal is a Harmon cantilever installed by CSX in the early 2000s, likely as a replacement for another Modern Industries cantilever like the one on the right. The Morrow Street signal also used to be some kind of 8 inch signal with a mechanical bell, but the signal got replaced with the current signal sometime between 2008 and 2013, though the signal at the time had an older General Signals e-bell (likely a Type 2), though the ATN has more recently replaced it with the General Signals Type 3 e-bell heard here. The Morrow Street signal also uses a 5 inch mast, oddly enough.

As of 12-4-19, the only changes I've noticed were a couple of blown bulbs and that one of the overhead lights' visors went missing:

And finally, a video from Morrow Street on 12-27-19:
Also, according to the ATN's signal maintainer, the mast signal here has since been wiped-out by a car again (along with the relay case this time), so I'll have to see about getting back here and checking-out the new signal soon-ish.

*originally recorded on 4-3-20*
Northbound signal: 4 pairs of Modern Industries 12x24 inch lights.
Southbound signal: 3 pairs of Harmon 12x24 inch lights.
Morrow Street signal: 1 pair of WCH 12x24 inch lights with GE Uniform look LEDs and a General Signals Type 3 electronic bell.
After watching the train being started, FanFan61618 and I went on down to this crossing to watch them doing some switching. Here we see them rolling through the crossing to set-out a car on the spur in order to pick-up a car a bit later.
After watching them set-out the car, I decided to set-up and get a video of the old SBD signal here, since it's always nice to see. Here we see the ATN cutting off the power and running lite to pick-up the car from the customer here.
Since I last recorded this crossing, the mast signal and relay case here were wiped-out by a truck, and thus required replacement. As such, I shot the side for Morrow Street first to get a video of the new signal here. Nothing else was changed about the crossing though, which is nice to see.
