You'll be glad to see this then: :LOL3:
Okay, now I'm pretty sure that's some FRA violation going on at this point.

Another video from July 19th, 2017, this time on the side where the lights are more visible. In fact, they seem a bit brighter than in previous videos.
They/Them for me, please.

*insert obligatory "the lights are still dirty" comment here* :LOL3:

Huh interesting, the bell is ringing faster than it was even compared to the video in the OP

Finally got the new signal recorded a few days ago:


*originally recorded on 3-27-18*

Signal on the left: 4 pairs of WRRS 8 inch lights and a WRRS mechanical bell.
Signal on the right: 6 pairs of WCH 12x24 inch lights with GE Uniform Look LEDs.

The signal on the right is a knock-down replacement for another WRRS cantilever that used to be here, and was installed just earlier this year. It appears that there's a brief "dark period" with the flasher relay where neither light is on, though while this wasn't very noticeable with the incandescent lights, it's much more noticeable with the LEDs here now. The remaining WRRS cantilever still remains here unchanged.
