*originally recorded on 9-14-17*

Signal on the left: 4 pairs of Safetran 12x24 inch lights with Safetran Fading LEDs, 1 pair of WCH 12x20 inch lights with GE Uniform Look LEDs, a WCH mechanical bell, a WCH gate mechanism, a WCH gate light, and Alstom LED gate lights.
Signal on the right: 4 pairs of Safetran 12x24 inch lights with Safetran Fading LEDs, 2 pairs of WCH 12x20 inch lights with Safetran Fading LEDs, a WCH mechanical bell, a WCH gate mechanism, and Alstom LED gate lights.
Pedestrian signal on the left: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x24 inch lights with Safetran Fading LEDs, a Safetran gate mechanism, and a WCH gate light.

The sixth train that I caught in New Hyde Park was another LIRR M3 train, though this time heading west and stopping at the New Hyde Park station.

This crossing is the only crossing in New Hyde Park to feature cantilever signals, and like the 12th Street crossing, it also has the bells ring while the gates are down. The crossing also has all Alstom LED gate lights for the road gates, likely from people wiping out the old gate arms. Oddly enough, the pedestrian gate on the right-hand signal lacks any gate lights what-so-ever. The extra pair of front lights on the gate mast of said signal also exist for extra visibility of the mast lights, as you see in the second video. Unfortunately for this crossing, there was no-where really good to set-up on the south side of the crossing, though of the two angles I chose, I prefer the second one (seen in the second video), mostly due to the fact that the left-hand cantilever's lights aren't blocked by numerous poles. Also note the extra crossbuck on the gate mast of the left-hand cantilever.
They/Them for me, please.
