Signal on the left: 2 pairs of WCH 12x24 inch lights with WCH 2nd Generation LEDs, a Safetran Type-2 electronic bell, a Siemens gate mechanism, and RECO LED gate lights.

Also, these signals are brand new. The FRA's database hasn't been updated to reflect these new signals being here yet.

Here's a video of the crossing from the other side:

On September 3rd, I went back out to the S&NA North Sub to get more crossings rerecorded along it. Started out at this crossing where, after a little while of waiting, Q029 came through with an ES44AH pulling on the head-end and an ET44AH working as the rear-DPU. This would be my first catch of the day which was honestly pretty successful over all.

As you can see, not too much has changed here since I last recorded this crossing, or really at all since it was installed, for that matter. However, at some point within the past few years, the original RECO LED gate light on the tip of the nearer arm was replaced with an NEG LED gate light. Other than that though, this crossing remains pretty much unchanged.

No changes as of 12-31-21, though one of the NEG e-bells here had become sick at the time.


The sick NEG has since been fixed, so I suspect it may have been a loose connection or something like that.

A return trip on 3-3-22 shows no major changes to this crossing, though the NEG that had been sick is no longer sick:

No major changes here as of 8-13-23:

Still the same as of 3-11-24:

This crossing is unchanged as of 7-7-24:

Still the same as of 3-11-25 as well:
