The FRA got actually this crossing correct! 2 gated signals with one WCH mechanical bell, 4 pairs of WCH 12X20 clear LED lights, and one pair of 8" CLEAR LED LIGHTS!

 

Picture 1 is facing Northwest. Picture 2 is a closer look at the combination of the 12X20 and the 8" clear LED lights. Picture 3 is an EVEN CLOSER look at the LEDs, luckily there's no wasp nest under this one like there was under the visor at High St. Picture 4 is facing east, the searchlight signal on the left is made by GRS.

Picture 5 is facing west, you can see 2 more GRS searchlight signals, as well as an old Gantry bridge in the distance, as well as a lot of ice, plus 2 relay cases. 1 relay case is for the 3 searchlight signals, and the other is for the crossing.

 

Picture 6 is what looks to be an automatic track switcher, made by GRS. Picture 7 is a closeup of the 2 relay cases with the DOT, and a manual control case on the 2nd relay case, made by RACO. My guess is the relay case in the back is for the crossing.

 

Picture 8 is facing Southeast.




Returning in March 2025 shows that the only change was the addition of CSX ENS signs. However, since these photos were taken, the crossing has recieved a new relay bungalow, and the searchlight signals next to the crossing have been replaced with new CSX colorlight signals.

As I mentioned previously, all of these searchlight signals seen here have been removed, including the old signal gantry. I'm glad I got photos of these before they were removed.
