Another look at the Safetran Gate Mechanism.	12"x24" Safetran and 8" WABCO Lights!	I think the WABCO lights are meant to be on a front mount, not a side mount.

Here's a rusty cast-iron crossbuck that stands next to the Folkston Depot.

A return trip to the crossing on 7-19-22 by Ethan the Railfan finds that the crossing has been replaced!		The first new signal.

65	66	67
It has a Fabricated Metals base.	A Siemens gate mechanism.	The emergency information.

68	69	70	71
The lights on this signal are all WCH 12x24 inch lights with Leotek EV Series LEDs.		This signal has an NEG electronic bell.	This signal uses NEG LED gate lights.

72	73	74	75
The second new signal.	It has a WCH base.	Another Siemens gate mechanism.	The emergency information.

76	77	78	79
The lights on this signal are all more WCH 12x24 inch lights with Leotek EV Series LEDs.		Another NEG electronic bell over here.	This signal uses RECO LED gate lights.

 

No idea if the second signal still retains an NEG LED gate light mixed in on it, but I suspect it does, as it seems to re-use the same gate arm and gate lights from the old signal.
