Signal on the left: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x20 inch lights, a General Signals Type 2 electronic bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, and RECO gate lights.
Signal on the right: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x20 inch lights, a General Signals Type 2 electronic bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, and RECO gate lights.

After catching the ATN, I noticed that there was an eastbound lined up the AGS main to Irondale, so I decided to go over here to get it. Here we see this eastbound NS intermodal train with a UP AC45CCTE leading a UP SD70ACe.

As you can see, this is another crossing that's a bit more on the boring side. The signals here were installed in the (early?) 2000s by NS, and, outside of one of the gate arms and all of the gate lights here being replaced (the latter more recently, it appears), no major changes seem to have occurred here. In fact, the closer signal still retains its original (and very faded) diagonally-striped gate arm, which is rather nice to see. You can also kinda see I-20 through the trees in the background here.
