Signal on the left: 1 pair of Modern Industries 12x24 inch lights, 2 pairs of Federal Signal 12x20 inch lights, 1 pair of Safetran 12x24 inch lights, a General Signals Type 1 electronic bell, a Siemens gate mechanism, and NEG LED gate lights.

After catching the northbound Silver Meteor, I continued on south to this crossing to wait for the Auto Train at it. After a little bit of waiting, I was able to catch my fourth train of the day: Amtrak 52 with a P42DC leading an ALC-42 for power.

This crossing is another great one, featuring an old pair of Safetran cantilevers installed by the SCL back in the early-70s. In the late-80s/early-90s, CSX upgraded the mast lights here to the current MI 12x24s. Then, in the late-90s, both gate masts here were replaced entirely with the current ones, followed by the bell on the closer signal being replaced with the current Safetran Type 3 in the mid-2000s. Finally, sometime in 2018 or after, both gate mechs here were replaced with the current Siemens ones, with no changes to this crossing since, thankfully.
Despite all of these upgrades, both cantilevers have managed to retain all of their original early-70s Federal Signal 12x20 inch overhead lights! Definitely glad to see these are still around, especially since they're still fully incandescent! Also quite nice to see that the far signal still has a GS Type 1 e-bell on it as well.
Also, for whatever reason, all of the lights on this crossing briefly shut-off while the gates were lowering. No idea why that happened, and I only really noticed it while editing the video.
