*originally recorded on 7-9-19*

Signal on the left: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x20 inch lights.
Signal on the right: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x20 inch lights and a dying Safetran mechanical bell.

The crossing itself is also rather nice. It appears that there were originally a pair of gateless, 8 inch ICG signals here, likely using Safetran 8 inch lights, with a 1st Generation Safetran mechanical bell. However, in the 1990s, NS replaced the far signal and upgraded the lights on the near one to 12x20 inch lights, but since then, no major changes have occured. Unfortunately, it does appear that this crossing needs a bit of TLC, as the Safetran mechanical bell is obviously on its way out and the crossing malfunctioned several times after the train passed.
They/Them for me, please.
