*originally recorded on 7-31-19*

Signal on the left: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x24 inch lights with WCH 2nd Generation LEDs, an NEG electronic bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, and Progress Rail(?) LED gate lights.
Signal on the right: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x24 inch lights with WCH 2nd Generation LEDs, a Safetran gate mechanism, and Progress Rail(?) LED gate lights.

This was the fifth crossing I caught A724 at, and while it's far from the most interesting one, it's still fairly decent, IMO. The signals are your typical CSX signals from the early 2010s, and still remains mostly unchanged. Like many installs of this era, the original e-bell (I'm guessing a Safetran Type 3, though could've been a GE e-bell) died at some point and was replaced with the current NEG e-bell. However, one thing I was quite pleased to see was that the crossing still retained its original Progress Rail(?) LED gate lights, which are quite hard to find on the CSX these days, it appears!
