Southbound signal: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x24 inch lights with Dialight Ball LEDs, a Safetran gate mechanism, and NEG LED gate lights.
Northbound signal: 1.5 pairs of Safetran 12x24 inch lights with Dialight Ball LEDs, 1 Safetran 12x24 inch light with a WCH 2nd Generation LED, a Safetran Type 2 electronic bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, and NEG LED gate lights.

This crossing is the other crossing with Dialight ball LEDs at it along the CSX S&NA North Sub. To make it a bit different from the other one, this crossing had one of the Dialight ball LEDs replaced with a WCH 2nd Generation LED.

Signal on the left: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x24 inch lights with Leotek EV Series LEDs, a Safetran gate mechanism, and NEG LED gate lights.
Signal on the right: 1.5 pairs of Safetran 12x24 inch lights with Leotek EV Series LEDs, 1 Safetran 12x24 inch light with a WCH 2nd Generation LED, a Safetran Type 2 electronic bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, and NEG LED gate lights.

After getting that trimmer thing, I went up to this crossing to try to get it in action. Apparently, I didn't have to wait too long as only a little bit later did M781 come south through here with a single GP40-3 for power.

As you can see, like with Carey Road, CSX has also replaced the Dialight Ball LEDs on this crossing with dotted ones. However, unlike Carey Road, all of the ones here were replaced with Leotek EV Series LEDs, the WCH 2nd Gen on the closer signal here had already been here for a few years. However, the LED replacement seems to have been the only noticeable change here, everything else about this crossing is still the same. It even still retains the original Safetran Type 2 e-bell, which is nice to see.
