This crossing is located in a quiet zone. Trains do not blow their horns at this crossing.

After catching Q574, I went off to get lunch before going back to the LCL Sub to continue documenting crossings. While I was eating lunch, I wound-up missing a local freight, which was a bit disappointing. However, while I was documenting this crossing, this high-rail truck came up the line doing a heat inspection. In fact, the only reason I noticed it was because it was activating the crossings as it went along, so I quickly ran and grabbed my camera, and was only just barely able to get set-up as the crossing activated. Maybe not my best video, but it works.

This crossing, like many others along this part of the LCL Sub, is a very nice one. Also, like many of the others along this part of the LCL, it appears that this one was an early L&N install with the gateless masts upgraded in the 1970s. The only changes here since then appear to have been the base of the closer signal being replaced at some point, followed by the mechanical bell here (which I think was the original WRRS bell?) being replaced sometime between 2011 and 2014.
