Signal on the left: 3 pairs of Safetran 12x24 inch lights with WCH 2nd Generation LEDs, an NEG electronic bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, and RECO LED gate lights.
Signal on the right: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x24 inch lights with WCH 2nd Generation LEDs, a Safetran gate mechanism, and RECO LED gate lights.
This was the fifth crossing I caught A724 at. As you can see, this crossing is pretty much another mostly pure early 2010s CSX install, with the original Safetran Type 3 e-bell having been replaced at some point between 2013 and 2019. Everything else here is original though. The signals here were installed sometime between 2009 and 2013, according to Google Street View, replacing a pair of crossbucks.
