*originally recorded on 12-20-18*

Signal on the left: 6 pairs of Safetran 12x24 inch lights with Dialight Ball LEDs, a Safetran Type 2 electronic bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, and 4 inch NEG LED gate lights.
Signal on the right: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x20 inch lights with Dialight Ball LEDs, a Safetran Type 2 electronic bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, 2 7 inch NEG LED gate lights, and a 4 inch NEG LED gate light.

Like most crossings on the NERR Mainline, this crossing had the current signals installed in the early to mid-2000s when the line was getting upgraded for the Music City Star. This crossing hasn't changed too much from when it was installed, only having had most of the gate lights replaced since then and the remaining two 7 inch gate lights being upgraded to LED. This crossing was documented by trainmankight back in 2009, but he uploaded a video of it back in 2008. At the time, most of the original 7 inch gate lights were still here, with only the gate light on the pedestrian arm for the cantilever signal having been replaced with a 4 inch one. It's hard to tell from his video, but the gate lights appeared to be a mixture of LED and incandescent at the time. This was also the only crossing on the NERR to get posted to Mike's Railroad Crossing Website (though I've since gone through and documented ever signalized crossing along the line for the site). Here's his video so y'all can see how it was like back in 2009:
