This crossing is located on the NS Memphis West End District.

 

I apologize for getting only the northern signal photographed. For some reason, when I just got here, I heard a train horn in the distance, I ran out to get my tripod and decided to record the crossing and managed to get a westbound through here. After the train passed through, I just left the crossing and I didn't relized I forgot to photographed the other signal. The southern signal appears to have normal Safetran 12x20 incandescents, a newer Safetran(?) gate mechansim, and RECO incandescsent gatleights.
