10-12-19 McKinney Avenue Update/Malfunction, Albertville, AL

Certainly wasn't expecting to see the hinged gate, or the knocked-down signal. Will have to see about chasing the ATN's train to Guntersville sometime in the near-ish future again, that's for sure.
Also, I guess this confirms that NEG now makes the Alstom LED gate lights, though I'll probably still call them Alstom LED gate lights. Also, the only crossing left on the ATN now with Safetran gate lights (as far as I'm aware, anyways), is Queenstown Road in Alton.
Also, here's the video I was talking about, which shows that both bells here are (or at least were) GS Type 1s:

Here's how the crossing looked before the upgrade/knock-down:
