Signal on the left: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x24 inch lights, a Safetran gate mechanism, and RECO LED gate lights.
Signal on the right: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x24 inch lights, a General Signals Type 2 electronic bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, and RECO LED gate lights.
This was the fourth crossing I caught the CSX local at. It's pretty much a pure early to mid-2000s CSX install, but I like it. IMHO, of all of the signals installed in the 21st Century, these easily look the best to me, IDK why. Of course, the gate arms and gate lights were replaced at some point, but that's to be expected with CSX. The right-hand signal here features another sign warning people about unoccupied cabs due to possible remote-control operation in this area.
