Looks like a temporary downgrade while the crossing gets upgraded, or at least has the one signal moved closer to the tracks.
Certainly looks as though they're removing the remnants of the double tracking on that side. Also appears they're doing some work on the spur track as well. Perhaps they might re-locate the signal on the opposite approach to encompass the spur and have it protected too. https://www.google.com/maps/@38.4517621 ... 8192?hl=en
Used to have some nice old BN equipment as well, so it's a shame to see that's all gone. At least the classic (Frisco-era?) cantilever remains, I supposed.
Though, by the sound of this video it's either out of service, or been replaced by a Danish E-Bell. Those have been the standard in Sri Lanka for a while now, though I think that's changing for Chinese-made signals. But to find a Hybrid here?! Thats a shocker.

Neat to see a Westinghouse Hybrid bell outside of Australia! And yea, it does sadly sound like it was replaced.
Some older masts at this NJ crossing... also just behind the trees is a small older looking house, I wonder if it had anything to do with the railroad?
