*originally recorded on 6-18-19*

Signal of the left: 2 pairs of WRRS 8 inch lights and a Griswold mechanical bell.
Signal on the right: 1.5 pairs of RACO 8 inch lights and 1.5 pairs of Safetran 8 inch lights.

This crossing is another one of my favorites in Jackson, and one that I'm quite glad I was able to record. The left-hand signal appears to be an entirely original GM&O signal, using WRRS 8 inch lights and a very healthy-sounding Griswold mechanical bell, quite possibly the only Griswold bell left in the state of Tennessee! The other signal is also quite nice, featuring a neat set-up with an extra pair of 8 inch lights mounted on a short extension arm above the crossbuck. It appears this is to help increase the visibility of the signal, though I'm not entirely sure how well it works. Either way, it is pretty cool to see.
They/Them for me, please.
