Is at least one of these somehow relevant to what I'm about to be posting? Why yes, yes it is.

Those traffic signals are horrifically dim... Glad they were upgraded.

And then i'm seeing a VMS being used to advertise device repairs, pretty sure this was "legally" acquired and not just taken away from a construction area.

Not like a little cleaning could make them un-dim

Bold of you to assume that Bessemer could afford to do that.

Anyways, here's another active crossing in Birmingham, that's totally not related to the next thing I'm about to post in the Crossing Videos forum:

Nice! Any idea why the gates are in different positions there?

There are two GRS relay cases here! But why is there two?
https://www.google.com/maps/@35.2316787 ... 312!8i6656

Also in 2008, this crossing did have a nice setup, featuring NO RIGHT TURN signals.

https://www.google.com/maps/@35.2317186 ... 328!8i1664

Crossing was also in action in 2013, and the no turn signals were still there, but it seems that they no longer worked.

It's possible that UP just didn't want to spend the budget to upgrade those to LED or at least continue to maintain them as incandescent signals.

Just noticed the signals still retain cast-iron 4 Tracks signs at that crossing:
