Overview of the crossing from the bike path.

The poor condition of the tracks and the poor condition of one of the signals.

A very rusty signal with newer 12"x24" Safetran incandescent lights with no bell.

Facing South. One of the tracks is out of service.

What is this thing from US&S?

This crossing has a Safetran Hybrid bell with a Safetran 12"x20" light on the left, and a WCH 12"x20" light on the right.

I wonder who's idea it was not to put any rear lights on this signal?!

 

Also note the "STOP ON RED SIGNAL" sign. I wonder why only this signal has one, and not the other?
