*originally recorded on 6-18-19*

Signal on the left: 1.5 pairs of Harmon 8 inch lights, 1 WRRS 8 inch light, a GRS gate mechanism, and NEG gate lights.
Signal on the right: 2 pairs of Safetran 8 inch lights, a weak-sounding Safetran mechanical bell, a GRS gate mechanism, and NEG gate lights.

This crossing is another one that I believe the ICG installed. Interestingly enough, it features a pair of GRS gate mechanisms with Safetran counterweight arms. The signals have obviously seen better days, as the lights are mostly quite dim (the pair of Harmon 8 inch lights on the rear of the left-hand signal seem to be nice and bright, but are hard to see from this angle), the Safetran bell here briefly dies while the gates are lowering, and the right-hand signal quite obviously lost its original base cover at some point, having been replaced with a piece of sheet metal. It also sounds like the gate arm on the right-hand signal whacks the mast when it raises. Not sure if the Harmon or Safetran lights are original to these signals (both could be), but it does appear that one of the lights on the far signal was struck and replaced with a re-used WRRS 8 inch light (which has a very yellowed background, at least on the rear side).

Looks like the gate lights on that side don't work, for some reason.
