*originally recorded on 9-15-17*

Signal on the far left: 3 pairs of Safetran 12x24 inch lights, a General Signals Type 2 electronic bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, and RECO LED gate lights.
Signal on the far right: a Safetran gate mechanism and RECO LED gate lights.
Signal on the near left: a Safetran gate mechanism and RECO gate lights.
Signal on the near right: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x20 inch lights, a General Signals Type 1 electronic bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, and NEG gate lights.
There is also a signal near the crossing with a flashing red X that activates with the crossing.
This crossing is in a quiet-zone.

This crossing is located on the CSAO Lehigh Line, and, IMO, is the best crossing along it despite it being a quiet zone. For some reason, the crossing has both a median and quad-gates, though likely due to the intersections near the crossing. The closest signal to the camera is also an early-2000s Conrail install with one of the few GS Type 1s in northern New Jersey while the farthest signal from the camera is a pretty typical mid-2000s Conrail install with the gate lights having been upgraded to LED. I also think that Conrail planned to put wayside horns here once as there's the flashing red X signal on the south-side of the crossing that flashing in a specific sequence. Another interesting thing about the signal is that the LED X boards appear to be repurposed lane-control signals like what'd be used at a toll-booth or a reversible lane as there's also LEDs on it in the shape of a down arrow.
They/Them for me, please.
