This crossing has a bit of an interesting history. According to a guy who lives next to the crossing (and was pretty friendly, sorry about being so late on these uploads, BTW), named Kevin, this crossing used to have just crossbucks until about 7 years ago when an accident occurred at this crossing. As a result, the NERR put up these gateless signals at it, which were re-used based on the incandescent MI lights on it. As a result, this is currently the only incandescent crossing between the yard in Lebanon and Brush Creek, TN, which I'm kinda surprised about as you'd think that the NERR would've at least upgraded the lights to LED in addition to replacing the mechanical bell (likely WCH) that these signals undoubtedly had.
