A return trip to the crossing finds that the second signal here has had two of the gate lights on it replaced with NEG LED gate lights.
The NEG e-bell here was also replaced with a newer one in 2021, it appears, but I didn't get any photos of it as it didn't change the equipment much, so I didn't see a need to at the time. |
