Southbound signal: 2 pairs of WCH 12x20 inch lights with Safetran Fading LEDs, a WCH mechanical bell, a WCH gate mechanism, an NEG gate light, and Alstom LED gate lights.
Northbound pedestrian signal: 1 WCH 12x20 inch light with a Safetran Fading LED, 1 WCH 12x20 inch light with a GE Uniform Look LED, a WCH gate mechanism, and a Safetran gate light.
Southbound pedestrian signal: 1 pair of WCH 12x20 inch lights with Safetran Fading LEDs, a WCH gate mechanism, and a WCH gate light.
The crossing seems to be a pretty typical LIRR crossing, but it does have a few interesting things like the mixture of LEDs on the one ped signal. Another interesting thing about this crossing is how one of the bells here sounds like it has a WRRS/US&S Teardrop gong on it. The crossing is also located next to a signalized intersection which drops into a red flash when the crossing is active. However, the activation for the red flash seems a bit late, as seen in the second video where the signals on both sides of the crossing remained green well after the crossing activated.
