*originally recorded on 10-30-18*

Signal on the left: 1 pair of WCH 12x20 inch lights with Electro-tech LEDs, 1 pair of Federal Signal 12x20 inch lights with Electro-tech LEDs, a WCH mechanical bell, a WCH gate mechanism, and Electro-tech LED gate lights.
Signal on the right: 2 pairs of WCH 12x20 inch lights with Electro-tech LEDs, a WCH mechanical bell, a WCH gate mechanism, and Electro-tech LED gate lights.

This crossing features an almost-pure 1980s SP(?) install, though it appears that the far signal was clipped at some point, so the two lights closest to the road had to get replaced with re-used Federal Signal 12x20s. This is also the only other crossing along the UP Reno Industrial Lead to feature Electro-tech LEDs, likely being installed around the same time as the ones at Valley Road #2 (which is the next crossing to the south, interestingly enough). One of the LEDs here is also messing up, as it doesn't light-up at all at first, but eventually starts to flicker on just before it has to turn off. It slowly starts coming on earlier and earlier, but then stops coming on at all once the gates start to rise. Never seen an LED do that before, and UP should probably get that one replaced. You also get a very nice view of the valley from up here, with US 395 being seen in the background.
They/Them for me, please.
