*originally recorded on 11-11-20*
Signal on the left: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x24 inch lights.
Signal on the right: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x24 inch lights and a Safetran mechanical bell.
After catching NS 329 in Brookside, I chased it over to Wyatt for my third crossing of the day.
This one is another nice one, featuring what appears to be an old pair of gateless signals installed back in the 1970s by the Southern Railway. In the 1980s, the lights here were upgraded to the current Safetran 12x24 inch lights, with the bell here having also possibly been upgraded at about the same time (not sure, though). Thankfully, no major changes have occured here since then, especially since this is a gateless crossing that still retains a mechanical bell.
The crossing also had a decently long tail-ring malfunction that occured literally right after I shut-off my camera.
