Signal on the left: 2 pairs of Modern Industries 12x24 inch lights.
Signal on the right: 2 pairs of Modern Industries 12x24 inch lights and a Modern Industries mechanical bell.

After catching the BAYL at Selma Street, I chased them on over to this crossing. The signals here are also pretty nice, being a pure MI set-up, likely from the 1970s. ,t appears, having been installed by the Hartsfield & Slocomb.
The Hartsfield & Slocomb owned this part of the line from 1953 (buying it from the Central of Georgia) to 1992, when the part of the line between Hartsfield and Taylor was torn up, and the remainder sold to the Gulf & Ohio, who renamed it the H&S Railroad. Then, in 2006, the G&W bought the Chattahoochee & Gulf Railroad and the H&S Railroad from the G&O, and merged them to form the Chattahoochee Bay Railroad (which has since been merged into the BAYL).
Amazingly enough, it doesn't appear that there have been any major changes done to this crossing since the signals were put up, so if this is truly an old Hartsfield & Slocomb install (which, given the design of the bases, it most likely is), then it's the last crossing along the line from the Hartsfield & Slocomb to remain unchanged from when it was installed.
The Ross Clark Circle (US 231/AL 210) crossing can also be heard before this crossing activates.
