The one pair of lights on this signal are Safetran 12x24 inch lights! |
This signal uses a Safetran Type 2 e-bell. |
The gate lights here are RECO incandescents! |

I'm honestly not entirely sure why the Seaboard System chose to install just one pair of lights for this signal, and when they did, chose to only install rear lights, with nothing facing oncoming drivers on this side!
I speculated a few theories as to why in the description of the video below, if anyone wants read it, but either way, this is certainly quite the unusual signal!

Looking southeast towards Parramore Road in Grimes. |
Looking northwest towards Wallace Drive in Dothan. |
This honestly has to be one of the weirdest crossings I've ever seen, if just simply for what it lacks instead of what it has.
