Signal on the left: 3 pairs of WCH 12x24 inch lights.
Signal on the right: 3 pairs of WCH 12x24 inch lights and a WCH electronic bell.

It appears that the HMCR has sped the bell here back up to a more "normal" speed.
They/Them for me, please.

And here's the HMCR running a train with a DPU (or a DPU-like arrangement) through this crossing:

*originally recorded on 11-7-21*

Signal on the left: 3 pairs of WCH 12x24 inch lights.
Signal on the right: 2 pairs of WCH 12x24 inch lights, 1 pair of WCH 12x24 inch lights with Electro-tech LEDs, and a WCH Type 3 electronic bell.

This was the last crossing I caught the HMCR at on the trip south, though it wouldn't be the last crossing of the day. As you can see, since I last recorded this crossing, the front pair of overhead lights on the closer mast-arm signal were upgraded to LED, using a pair of Electro-tech LEDs (which seem to be the HMCR's current LED of choice), but that appears to have been the only change to this crossing.

No major changes as of 5-4-22, though it does seem to now do a tail-ring malfunction on the north side of the crossing as well.
