Two old-school cantilevers with all 8" lights, gates, and one Safetran mechanical bell. The gate seen in picture 1 looks like it doesn't go up all the way. This was done on purpose to prevent it from snagging in the power lines.

A short WSOR local job goes through the crossing, only taking about 1 minute to fully cross.

 

The train did blow its horn for the crossing proving the quiet zone is not currently in effect, or that the WSOR crews don't care to follow that rule.
