Signal on the right: 3 pairs of Modern Industries 12x24 inch lights and a WCH mechanical bell.
This crossing is one of the five signalized crossings on the NERR's branch to the interchange, and one of only about three that retain a mechanical bell. It's about halfway down the branch meaning that the trains move at a pretty decent speed through this crossing, and the hill on the eastern side of the crossing (which I was set-up on) provides a pretty nice view of the crossing overall, especially when the van that's on the left isn't parked there. These signals appear to have been put-up by the NERR around the late 1980s, and haven't seen any changes since.
