*originally recorded on 8-30-18*

Signal on the left: 2.5 pairs of Modern Industries 12x20 inch lights with Patco LEDs and 1 US&S 12x20 inch light with a WCH 2nd Generation LED.
Signal on the right: 2 pairs of Modern Industries 12x20 inch lights with Patco LEDs and a WCH mechanical bell.

This crossing is the southernmost regularly used crossing along this part of the line, as the next one south only gets use whenever the TSRR needs to get something from the long string of stored cars to the south of that crossing. This crossing also features a pretty typical 1980s TSRR install, having gotten an LED upgrade more recently. It appears that the far signal was knocked-down and put back up, as the base is now missing the cover and rotated 180° (along with having one of the terminal blocks in it come off), and one of the MI lights was replaced with a US&S light. Interestingly enough, when they upgraded this crossing to LED, rather than fitting a Patco LED in the US&S light, the TSRR made sure to put a WCH LED in it for some reason... Also, it's worth noting that previously the front and "side" lights were all pointed in generally the same direction, though the replacement US&S light is pointed in another direction from the rest of the lights.
They/Them for me, please.
