the same for this area. 12"x24" lights with mechanical bells. Note the

This railroad believe it or not,
is a family owned railroad! I think there are only 2 signalized
crossings on this line, and this is one of them!
On December 15, 2005, a popular tourist train,
Southern Pacific's Daylight number 4449 came through this crossing. It
was too dark to get proper pictures, but there's an MP3 of this
crossing available below. The bells ring from startup to when the gates
fully raise. The pictures were taken in late 2005.
