*originally recorded on 5-29-20*

Signal on the left: 5 pairs of Safetran 12x24 inch lights, a WCH mechanical bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, and RECO LED gate lights.
Signal on the right: 3 pairs of WCH 12x24 inch lights, 1 pair of Safetran 12x24 inch lights, a WCH mechanical bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, and NEG LED gate lights.

After catching Q575 in LaGrange, I chased it on back to this crossing in Lyndon. Here we see it as it continues on its journey to Louisville.

This crossing is another pretty nice one, featuring a nice pair of WCH mechanical bells at it! I believe this is also the only crossing on this part of the LCL Subdivision to feature two mechanical bells.
The signals here appear to have been a pair of 1990s gated cantilevers from CSX, though, in the mid-2000s, the far cantilever was struck and replaced. Since then, no major changes appear to have occurred here, thankfully, and both WCH mechanical bells still sound quite healthy. The gate mast on the closer signal does appear to be leaving a bit though, and the when gate on it rises, it whacks into the bell, causing it to ring a few more times.
They/Them for me, please.
