A view of the crossing. The lights are 12"x24". There is no bell seen in the signal in pictures 1 and 2. The signal in Picture 3 has a WCH mechanical bell. The signal is on the wrong side because the tracks are too close to the other side of the road. |

It appears that in the almost 10 years between visits to this crossing, this extra gateless mast was added to the crossing. It just has a US&S base and not much else to it. |
