Signal on the left: 2 pairs of WCH 12x24 inch lights, a WCH mechanical bell, a WCH gate mechanism, and RECO LED gate lights.
Signal on the right: 2.5 pairs of WCH 12x24 inch lights, 1 Modern Industries 12x24 inch light, a WCH mechanical bell, a WCH gate mechanism, and RECO LED gate lights.
This was the third crossing I caught A724 at on this chase. This crossing is the only other signalized crossing "in" (well, technically, it's just outside of) Iron City, and also features a nice-sounding pair of mechanical bells. This crossing is pretty much an almost-pure SBD WCH install, with only one light having been replaced. It appears that in the late 1980s/early 1990s, the right-hand side light on the right-hand signal here got struck somehow, so CSX replaced it with the current MI light, which looks quite nice, IMHO. All in all, a very nice crossing here. US 84 can also be seen in the background again.
