Whitesburg Drive:
Southbound signal: 6 pairs of Harmon 12x24 inch lights with Harmon fading LEDs.
Northbound signal: 5 pairs of Harmon 12x24 inch lights with Harmon fading LEDs and a General Signals Type-2 electronic bell.
Blanda Drive signal: 5 pairs of Harmon 12x24 inch lights with Harmon fading LEDs and a General Signals Type-2 electronic bell.

Blanda Drive:
Southbound signal:5 pairs of Harmon 12x24 inch lights with Harmon fading LEDs.
Northbound signal: 2 pairs of Harmon 12x24 inch lights with Harmon fading LEDs and a General Signals Type-2 electronic bell.

Seems that the detection circuit at these crossings died, so now the HMCR has to manually activate and deactivate the signals.

Seems I forgot to post this video from January 20, 2017:


However, more recently, the HMCR has fixed the detection equipment, as seen in this video from March 27th, 2018:
