Signal on the left: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x20 inch lights, a General Signals Type 2 electronic bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, and RECO gate lights.
Signal on the right: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x20 inch lights, a General Signals Type 2 electronic bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, and NEG gate lights.

Interestingly enough, this crossing is exactly 1 mile away from Gnat Pond Road along the line, as this one is at Milepost 398 and Gnat Pond Road is at Milepost 399.

Also, the sun had already set before I started recording (in fact, it had set while I was recording NS 201), so as you can see, it got dark quickly as the train slowly went into the Sheffield Yard at twilight.

No noticable changes here as of 5-15-25:


Interestingly, it appears that both bells here were replaced, but NS replaced them both with newer GS Type 2 e-bells. No idea where the bells would've come from, though I'm guessing they were New Old Stock given how fresh they still look.
