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 NEG gate lights.
After catching M730, we went, grabbed some lunch, and set-up at this crossing as Amtrak 19 was approaching. After a little bit of waiting, Amtrak 19 came through with a pair of P42DCs for power.
This crossing is a pretty decent one, having been installed back in the early 2000s by NS with pretty much no changes to it since then. However, I think these might've replaced some older SOU signals, based on the guard-rails around the bases of them. Nothing really too much to say about them other than that though, but I had been slightly hoping for some GS Type 1s here.
