Mike's Railroad Crossing Forum

The crossing signal has 2 pairs of WCH lights with 1st Generation WCH LEDs, a WCH gate mechanism, WCH gate lights, and a WCH mechanical bell.
The bell rings from when the gate starts to descend to when it starts to rise.

Got a couple more videos of the crossing. Seems that the batteries here are starting to go.

Wow, there's no power to the crossing other than batteries?

I honestly have no clue if it normally has AC power or not. But I wouldn't be surprised to find out that there's no AC power at least currently based on how the signal was acting.

The lone signal here has 2 pairs of WCH 12x20 inch lights with WCH 1st Generation LEDs, a WCH mechanical bell, a WCH gate mechanism, and non-functional WCH gate lights.

After filming the two trains at Elledge Lane, I went over to Spring Park to film the two crossings there, as I saw on Facebook the train there would be running on this weekend. After a bit of waiting, I was able to get my first of two videos of the Spring Park train.

Since I was last here Spring Park has done a bit of TLC to the signal, so it now operates properly. Unfortunately, the gate lights are now in quite a state of disrepair, with none of them working and two even missing the front lenses and bulbs. The flasher relay here also seems to be a bit messed-up, as the right-hand lights barely come on.

The bell sounds great!

It definitely does! Seems like they've been keeping it fairly well maintained.
