The relay case for the LYNX light rail crossings. |
Fun fact: The Safetran Type 3 E-Bell on the eastern signal actually rings when the gates lower and rings again when the crossing deactivates unlike the western signal's GS Type 3 E-Bell, which only rings until the gates lower.
Also, this is the southern most crossing along the LYNX light rail before it ends about 1.5 miles at the I-485 station.
