Far crossing:
Signal on the left: 3 pairs of WCH 12x24 inch lights with Leotek EV Series LEDs, an NEG electronic bell, a Siemens gate mechanism, and NEG LED gate lights.
Signal on the right: 2 pairs of WCH 12x24 inch lights with Leotek EV Series LEDs, an NEG electronic bell, a Siemens gate mechanism, and NEG LED gate lights.
Old Tuscaloosa Road signal: 2 pairs of WCH 12x24 inch lights with Leotek EV Series LEDs, a Siemens gate mechanism, and NEG LED gate lights.
Oak Street signal: 2 pairs of WCH 12x24 inch lights with Leotek EV Series LEDs, a Siemens gate mechanism, and NEG LED gate lights.

Near crossing:
Signal on the left: 3 pairs of WCH 12x24 inch lights with Leotek EV Series LEDs, an NEG electronic bell (not operating due to a train not going through this crossing), a Siemens gate mechanism, and NEG LED gate lights.
Signal on the right: 2 pairs of WCH 12x24 inch lights with Leotek EV Series LEDs, an NEG electronic bell, a Siemens gate mechanism, and NEG LED gate lights.

Now this is one weird crossing. It used to be a pretty standard mid-2000s CSX install with just two signals a few years back, but then CSX completely redid it when they installed a new connector track between the S&NA South Sub and the Lineville Sub. Now we've got two crossings that operate together in a rather weird fashion. When a train is on the Lineville Sub, the two outer signals and two side-street signals will activate. Once those gates are down, the inner signal for the Lineville Sub's crossing will activate. The lights facing away from the camera on the nearer crossing won't turn on, along with the bell on the signal that still has the gate raised. Also, this crossing has the NEG LED gate lights that use the RECO design, which is something I have yet to see on the S&NA North Sub. Half of the NEG e-bells here have the "traditional" NEG/Safetran Type-2 base while the other half use the base designed to look more like a General Signals e-bell. Finally, the bell on the farthest signal is mounted on-top of the arm that holds the side-lights, oddly enough.
They/Them for me, please.
