That's not even the newest way CSX installs signals, either
What makes you say that?

What makes you say that?
1) they use WCH light heads now instead of using Safetran light heads
2) they use NEG e-bells now instead of Safetran Type-3s
3) bells are now mounted at half-mast instead of on top

I am aware of that. However in some rare cases you may see Safetran Type 3's mounted half mast. I do have a post i believe somewhere in the thread that has a link to them.

Active crossing in Holt, Florida.

If you're aware of that, then why did you ask "how so" when I pointed out that your example is not the newest way CSX does installs? :Confused:

It was also already a couple of years old by the time street view went through there.
