Signal on the near right: 2 pairs of RACO 8 inch lights, 2 pairs of Safetran 12x20 inch lights, a RACO mechanical bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, and NEG LED gate lights.

While L781 was working in the yard in East Dublin, Ethan and I swung by a Subway to get some lunch before setting up here to wait on them (and eat our lunch). After a little bit of waiting, L781 came through and we were able to catch them one more time on this day. We would've chased them farther, but the train was tied down at West Dublin siding and we left before the evening crew got on.

This crossing was another high-priority for me, and it's pretty easy to see why. This crossing is another one where each half is maintained by a different railroad, and while one could argue it's technically a double crossing, though I'm just counting it as one big one. Either way, both sides are pretty nice, so I'll start with the GC's side first.
The GC's signals appear to be an SCL install from the early 1970s, probably around (though likely a bit after) the SOU put up theirs, it seems. The gate mechanism over there was probably replaced in the late-1970s/early 1980s by the SCL, but those signals remained the same up until sometime between 2008 and 2012, when the original Safetran mechanical bell on that side was replaced with a GS Type 2 e-bell (most likely). Since then, the only major change to the crossing was that the Type 2 became a GS Type 3, but I'm not entirely sure when that happened. This crossing is also one of the few times I've seen the SCL install a Safetran cantilever of this style.
The closer side of the crossing is a lot more interesting though, IMHO. This side uses an early Safetran install from the SOU, likely having been installed in 1971 or shortly thereafter. However, since then, neither the SOU nor NS have made any changes to their signals, making for a rather classic looking install. The RACO mechanical bell also sounds quite healthy, so hopefully it remains here for a good while longer. The RACO cantilever here is also an extendable one, which the SOU seems to have preferred to use.
It appears that the SOU originally had a small yard here in downtown Dublin, though it has since been reduced to just a single track for what's now the NS Dublin District. NS doesn't even really use their own line here, as the GC is the one to serve the customer on it! However, as a result, this crossing and the one just east of it in downtown Dublin are pretty much the only active signalized crossings on the NS Dublin District, as a result. The rest are all sadly out of service. Just to the west of this crossing, the NS Dublin District ends with a connector track to the GC's mainline.
The two mast signals here also appear to only activate depending on which line a train is on, so NS's mast signal remained off while the train was passing on the far track.
