This crossing used to have some 8 inch lights (probably a mix of RACO and Safetran), one pair of Modern Industries 12x24 inch lights on each of the mast siganls, and a WRRS/WCH "motor bell" at it back in 2007. Sometime between then and 2014, this crossing got upgraded.
Seems like a waste considering that the crossing appears to no longer be used, though NS had shoved some box cars down past the crossing sometime between my trips in 2014 and 2017. Even more so now that the crossing has officially been closed.
