This crossing has to be one of my favorites along the CSX S&NA North Sub. For starters, it features some newer gateless signals installed sometime around 2012/2013 that replaced a pair crossbucks! The signals themselves are also somewhat interesting beyond the fact that they're a modern CSX gateless install, as they have the e-bells mounted on the fronts of the signals rather than the sides. However, that appears to be due to the fact that they are mounted on the junction boxes, which are located on the fronts of the signals rather than the sides. It appears that CSX also accounted for the bells being on the fronts, so the masts are taller than normal to keep the crossbuck from being blocked by the e-bells. This also confirms that CSX will still use 4 inch masts when they install new gateless signals (most of the time), and these are probably also the newest gateless signals you'll find on the CSX.
