The FRA has no inventory on this crossing for some odd reason.

There are three signals, 2 GS electronic bells, Harmon cantilever, Harmon light frames, and Harmon fading LEDs, as well as three weird looking red lights sticking up out of each signal.

 

This is likely a new installation or big upgrade, anyways the FRA missed this one.

The westbound direction has a Harmon cantilever.
Closeups of the Harmon fading LEDs.
The eastbound direction has two mast signals.

 

The lack of an DOT number in the FRA's inventory is probably because this is a fairly new crossing.

The Arapaho Road extension was built in 2006, intended for use as an alternate route to heavily-traveled Belt Line Rd.

All signals at this crossing (as well as nearby street lamps) are fitted with aircraft warning lights on top.
This view shows why the aircraft warning lights are necessary. In the far background (to the left of the hangar buildings) the white pavement is the airport runway.
