Mike's Railroad Crossing Forum

*originally recorded on 10-27-18*

Signal on the left: 3 pairs of Safetran 12x20 inch lights with Electro-tech LEDs, a WCH Type 1.5 electronic bell, a WABCO Model 75 gate mechanism, and Electro-tech LED gate lights.
Signal on the right: 3 pairs of Safetran 12x20 inch lights with Electro-tech LEDs, a WCH Type 2 electronic bell, a WABCO Model 75 gate mechanism, and Electro-tech LED gate lights.

This crossing is another nice one, featuring a pair of older SP signals, and the last WABCO gate mechanisms in the area that I'm aware of. One of the LEDs in the side lights here also flickers while on, I believe due to a loose wire somewhere. It isn't too noticeable in this video though. The main lights are also off-centered from the mast as well, which is a bit odd. Wonder if there had originally been wooden gate arms here? The signals had already been upgraded to LED by the time street view came through in 2011, though the near signal still retained a mechanical bell (that I believe was WCH) and both signals still had incandescent gate lights. Obviously both were replaced sometime between then and now. However, James Davey recorded this crossing back in 2005 when it was still completely incandescent and had both mechanical bells, though the bell on the far signal was dead when he recorded it (likely why it was replaced earlier):
