The train clears the crossing and then the signals deactivate.

A slight return trip on 12-31-18 shows that the gate on the northern signal has been knocked down. It has since been re-added to the signal.

 

 

Interestingly enough, the General Signals Type 3 E-Bell here didn't exist before April 2016 according to street view, which makes the northern signal not have a bell originally.
