Photo #1 shows what this crossing looked like
in 2002. The signal on the right has 12"x20" lights, while the one on
the left has 8" lights. Both bells are US&S Teardrop bells! The
signal on the right looks like it has a weird base, but it is actually
a small relay case that is directly in front of the mast and not part
of the signal base itself.

Looking north.
|
The northbound signal still has a US&S
teardrop bell, painted black.

The old cast-iron US&S relay case that
sits directly in front of the northbound signal.
|
The northbound signal's gate motor is a WRRS
"Improved Highway Crossing Signal Mechanism", with a 1939 patent date.
|
Looking south. The southbound signal now has
12"x20" lights instead of 8", and a standard mechanical bell instead of
a teardrop bell.

Track view looking east.
|
On the east side of the crossing there is a
US&S box with an overhead power drop, and a battery vault.
|
Track view looking west (toward the Armstrong Ave. crossing). The other signal now has a WCH mechanical bell. |
On the west side of the crossing, there is
another relay case next to what appears to be an old wayside signal
base.
