After filming 394 near Edwardsville, I went back west to Oxford and snagged myself some lunch before setting-up at this crossing for my next train. After about an hour or so of waiting, I was able to get my third train of the day here: NS 395 with a pair of AC44C6Ms for power.
It appears that in the almost nine years since my last video of this crossing, nothing too much has changed here. The far signal had its gate arm and gate lights replaced, while the closer signal only had the gate arm replaced. Sadly, the GS Type 2 e-bells here are definitely on their way out, however, as the one on the far signal seems to be dead while the closer one is noticeably sick. Thankfully, the old 80s NS signals here still remain and are still largely original, which I'm glad to see.
