The first signal, which is much newer than the others, though still appears to have been re-used from elsewhere.

It has a WCH base.

A WABCO junction box! What's this doing on a relatively new signal?

The lights are WCH 12x24 inch lights with WCH 2nd Generation LEDs.
The RECO gate lights.
The second signal.

 

Anyone else notice what appears to have been the mounts for a 2 (or more) Tracks signs in Picture 9? I'm guessing that this mast must've gotten re-used from a crossing with multiple tracks at it, which might explain the WABCO junction box...

On September 13, 2023, Ethan the Railfanner made a return trip to this crossing to find some changes: The second signal has gotten Leotek EV series LEDs while the third signal recieved WCH 2nd Gen. LEDs. All of the gatelights have been replaced with 4" NEG LEDs.

 

Out of all of the crossings I've seen on the CSX, this one almost has the widest variety of equipment at it.
