Here's a weird looking defunct crossing. No mast lights, and no cantilever shown in picture 2!

Both signals have Safetran mechanical bells.

Most lights are 12"x20" Safetran incandescents, although one of the pairs of hanging lights are 12"x24" Safetran incandescents.

A return trip to the crossing years later shows that almost all of the equipment was removed.

What appears to be a rail poking through the asphalt.

Track views along the spur that used to exist here.

 

The FRA mistakenly says that this crossing name is "Grove St.".
