Signal on the left: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x24 inch lights with WCH 2nd Generation LEDs and a General Signals Type 1 electronic bell.
Signal on the right: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x24 inch lights with WCH 2nd Generation LEDs and a General Signals Type 2 electronic bell.

The bell on the signal on the right is leaning backwards, and slightly towards the road as well it seems.
They/Them for me, please.

*originally recorded on 5-28-24*

Signal on the right: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x24 inch lights with WCH 2nd Generation LEDs and an NEG electronic bell.

After the pushers crossed US 41A, I grabbed my camera and quickly made my way over to this other gateless crossing in Cowan for the southbound train. This train turned-out to be a southbound autorack train which had an ES40DC pulling by itself on the head-end and an ES44AH working as the DPU.

As you can see, not much has changed to this crossing since I last recorded it all the way back in 2017. Unfortunately, at some point since then, the GS Type 1 e-bell on the closer signal died and was replaced by the current NEG e-bell. I suspect this must've happened at some point later-on in 2017 or 2018, looking at the NEG e-bell here, but it's still a bit of a shame nonetheless.
