Oh, I wonder if the classic cantilevers are still there! :Drool:
I remember seeing a picture of that crossing recently on Facebook. Everything is still there, except that one of the bells has been replaced.
What bell got replaced?

I also want to see that crossing on video too. :TUP1:

Not sure. It was one of the two mechanical bells though.
They/Them for me, please.

Those must be some fast trains that go through there for small roads like that to need quad setups!

I believe that's on the Amtrak's Northeast Corridor, which is a high-speed line, IIRC.

It is part of the Northeast Corridor, I'm not sure how fast they go through this crossing.

Well good grief, after some research those trains can approach 150 mph! :Eeeeek:

They don't go that fast through crossings, and this is also near the New London station.
