*originally recorded on 8-14-21*

Signal on the left: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x20 inch lights, a General Signals Type 2 electronic bell, an Invensys Rail gate mechanism, and RECO LED gate lights.
Signal on the right: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x20 inch lights, an Invensys Rail gate mechanism, and RECO gate lights.

This was the only other crossing I recorded NS 320 at on this day. As you can see, these are some pretty standard NS signals from about 2011 or so, when NS replaced the old late-SOU gated signals here. Those signals were actually almost entirely original, with three pairs of GRS Lex-C 12x20 inch lights (one pair on the closer signal had gotten replaced with Safetran 12x24s), GRS gate mechs, and a Safetran mechanical bell. It's definitely a shame those were replaced, but this is one of only two crossings in Russellville with Invensys Rail gate mechs, which I suppose it at least somewhat neat. Since these signals were installed, nothing too major has been changed on them, other than the gate lights.
They/Them for me, please.
