This is kind of hard to explain. There used to be a bridge over here that was supposed to replaced by a new one that was supposed to be finished by December 31, 2004. When I was first here in 2003, and my March 13, 2005 trip, nothing's happened. Even traffic is blocked off from crossing the tracks going the other way.

 

I was unable to find a way around the mess, but anyway, a train went eastbound, and I caught it at this defunct crossing. The signals still work, and the signal you can barely see has a WCH e-bell, while the other one I think, still has a mechanical bell, but I was too far away to tell for sure. If I make it back over here, and the bridge is still not up, and if the signals still exist, I'll try to find a way around to the other side of the crossing. This defunct crossing also got "2 Tracks" signs as well as all the other crossings on the line.

On August 6, 2005, I found the other way around the crossing! There was just a "ROAD CLOSED" sign at the time, so I drove around it, and snapped these pictures of the crossing, including a turned light as seen in pictures 2, 3, and 5.

 

There are two General Signals electronic bells.

All lights are 12"x20" which is a little unusual, as most of the neighboring crossings have 12"x24" lights.

A few more views of the new lights.

 

The GS bells are types 1 and 2.
