Great Idea. I am currently working one one myself this Christmas season. I will have it for download soon If your interested in it.

I thought it would be worth bumping this thread to mention that this signal has been updated with LED lights.

Both signals have. All of the US&S and Safetran 8 inch lights there got replaced, along with the WCH mechanical bell (which must've replaced a Teardrop some years ago). It seems CSX has decided to adopt the standard of upgrading all of the lights on their gateless crossings to LED in every state that isn't Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, or Indiana.

I would like to add Florida to that list, or at least amend "lights on their gateless crossings to LED" to "8" lights on their gateless crossings to LED" since there are still quite a few 12x24" gateless signals with incandescents around here.

That's what they've done here in Alabama as well (though a few have been replaced with incandescents), and on a line up in Nashville, TN.

I've also seen incandescent replacements happen here as well, but the incandescents seem to be either refurbished or slightly-used.
