Signal on the left: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x20 inch lights, a General Signals Type 3 electronic bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, and NEG gate lights.
Signal on the right: 4 pairs of Safetran 12x20 inch lights, a Safetran gate mechanism, and RECO gate lights.
After catching the KCS local at Linden Street, I chased it over to this crossing, as it's the only other signalized crossing on this branch line. The signals here are pretty much a typical mid to late-2000s NS install, though at some point between 2014 and 2016, the original Safetran Type 3 e-bell was replaced with the current GS Type 3, according to Google Street View. The gate mech on the closer signal doesn't appear to lower all the way, while the far one creaks when it finished lowering.

After catching NS 16A, the KCS local freight shoved down the NS IC District so I chased it over to this crossing on the NS C&C Lead to catch it again. Here we see the KCS local one final time, as, sadly, it would spend the rest of the evening (until well after sunset) working the former Corinth & Counce yard, and I decided to head on back home when the sun set. Certainly nice getting to end the day off with the KCS local though.
Since I was last here, NS went through and replaced the gate lights on the far signal, as well as the tip gate light on the closer signal, with RECO LED gate lights. This late-2000s NS install remains otherwise unchanged, however.
