Signal on the left: 2 pairs of WCH 12x24 inch lights with WCH 2nd Generation LEDs, an Invensys Rail gate mechanism, and RECO LED gate lights.
Signal on the right: 2 pairs of WCH 12x24 inch lights with WCH 2nd Generation LEDs, an NEG electronic bell, an Invensys Rail gate mechanism, and RECO LED gate lights.

This was the ninth crossing I caught A724 at on this chase. I actually got set-up a bit late here, as the train managed to sneak-up on me. These signals are a rather modern CSX install, replacing a pair of crossbucks sometime between 2012 and 2013, according to Google Street View (with the style of signal telling me about the earliest it would've been installed). Interestingly enough, unlike the typical installs of this age from CSX, the bell here is mounted on the top of the signal, rather than the side. Certainly uncommon to see on modern CSX signals.
