This crossing used to have 3 tracks, but two of them were torn out in 1991. The crossing also used to have 24 daily trains back in the 70s and most of the 80s.
The lights are made by WCH, and GRS. The gate motors are WRRS/GRS model 10's, and there is only one pedestrian gate.
The mechanical bell is on the west side of the crossing hidden behind the extra pair of 8" lights, and is a WRRS mini-bell.

The relay case sort of being taken over by
the scenery!

A return trip to the crossing shows really no changes. Everything appears to look the same as it did in 2006.
