Mike's Railroad Crossing Forum

*originally recorded on 6-23-21*

Signal on the left: 2 pairs of Progress Rail 12x24 inch lights with Harmon Dotted LEDs, a WCH mechanical bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, and Dialight gate lights.
Signal on the right: 5 pairs of Progress Rail 12x24 inch lights with Harmon Dotted LEDs, a Safetran gate mechanism, and RECO LED gate lights.

After chasing L781 down to Dublin, we set-up here to try and get them at least once more, but they unfortunately wound-up tying down at the siding just west of this crossing. However, a signal maintainer who'd been here at the time as well went and tested these signals while we were recording, so that was nice of him.

The crossing here's another nice little one. It features an early 2000s RailAmerica install which is still mostly original. Sometime between 2008 and 2011, the original WCH electronic bell here must've died and as such it got replaced with the current WCH mechanical bell. Interestingly enough, this seems to have been an earlier install of one of the modern vertically striped gate arm sections, as the one here was already in place by the time Google Street View came through in 2011 as well, having replaced the original diagonally striped gate arm section & Dialight gate lights that it would've had.
The other signal does still have its original gate arm and Dialight gate lights, which is quite nice to see.
