Signal on the left: 4 pairs of WCH 12x24 inch lights, 1 pair of Safetran 12x24 inch lights, a Safetran gate mechanism, and RECO LED gate lights.
Signal on the right: 4 pairs of WCH 12x24 inch lights, 1 pair of Safetran 12x24 inch lights, a WCH mechanical bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, and RECO gate lights.

This crossing features a mostly pure 1990s CSX install, with very little changes having been made to it! There are several "pure"/"mostly pure" 1990s CSX installs along the WofA Sub, though this is the only one with cantilever signals. In fact, it's the only "mostly pure" 1990s CSX install that I'm aware of these days with cantilever signals. The set-up of the signals also reminds me of how the Elm Street #2 crossing in Athens was like back in 2007, only without the second track or being as wide. The WCH mechanical bell is starting to sound a bit rough, as it's a bit weak when it starts, though otherwise sounds pretty nice. One of the overhead lights is blown as well.
