Mike's Railroad Crossing Forum

Signal on the left: 4 pairs of WCH 12x24 inch lights with WCH 2nd Generation LEDs, a General Signals Type 2 electronic bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, and RECO LED gate lights.
Signal on the right: 1 pair of Modern Industries 8 inch lights, 2 pairs of Modern Industries 12x20 inch lights, a GRS gate mechanism, and RECO LED gate lights.

This crossing sure is a bit of an interesting one. Back in 2007, the crossing still have a pair of late-L&N gated cantilever signals at it, with both signals having WCH cantilevers, a mixture of Modern Industries 8 inch mast lights and MI 12x20 inch overhead lights, a GRS gate mechanism, and a MI mechanical bell on the northern (far) signal. However, sometime between 2007 and 2009, the GRS gate mechanism on the far signal was replaced with the current Safetran one. Then, sometime between 2012 and 2013, the far cantilever had to be replaced almost entirely (likely due to being taken-out by a car). However, the southern (near) signal was left almost completely untouched by CSX, making for a rather interesting set-up where one side is still old equipment while the other side is much newer. I'm also even more glad about that as I personally think that the signals like the right-hand one look really nice. The signal on the far side also has the side lights mounted directly to the cantilever mast, while the front mast lights are mounted on a small extension arm. Not sure why CSX did that, in all honesty.
