Signal on the left: 2 pairs of WCH 12x20 inch lights with Electro-tech LEDs, a WCH Type 2 electronic bell, a WCH gate mechanism, and Electro-tech LED gate lights.
Signal on the right: 2 pairs of WCH 12x20 inch lights with Electro-tech LEDs, a WCH Type 2 electronic bell, a WCH gate mechanism, and Electro-tech LED gate lights.

This crossing is a pretty decent one, even though it's not exactly the most interesting one out there. The crossing features a pair of SP signals installed in the 1990s (I'm pretty sure they're of SP heritage, anyways, and I'm guessing they're from the 1990s as well), and remained relatively unchanged for years afterwards. According to street view, by 2011 the lights had gotten an LED upgrade, though the incandescent gate lights and two WCH mechanical bells remained. However, in the 7 years since street view came through, the gate lights and both bells were replaced, I'm guessing due to both bells dying and UP just deciding to upgrade the gate lights here. However, there are a couple of videos on YouTube that were taken at this crossing back in 2005 by James Davey, which show the signals prior to any changes being made to them:



Also, as I suck at identifying WCH e-bells, I'm going to try to make my best educated guesses as to what the various types these are, though I'm going to also be relying on y'all to correct me as necessary.
