Eastbound signal: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x24 inch lights, a WRRS/GRS Type B gate mechanism, and RECO LED gate lights.
Eastbound pedestrian signal: a Safetran gate mechanism and a RECO LED gate light.
Westbound pedestrian signal: a Safetran gate mechanism and an NEG LED gate light.
I recorded both sides here as each side had something that I wanted to record. The west side has a rather cool signal set-up for the road signal due to the utility pole located next to the crossing. The east side was in better lighting, along with having the mini-bell that's at this crossing and some of those weird, possible Progress Rail or Safetran, gate lights that no-one seems to know who made them. However, CSX did briefly use them, and this crossing still retains a set of the LED ones. The pedestrian signal on the east side of the crossing also used to be an old WRRS/GRS one with a Type B gate mech, but CSX replaced that signal for some reason sometime within the past few years.
