| Facing southeast. | The eastbound signal with the sidelights for Pearl St. |
All 6 pairs of 12" x 24" lights are Safetran ball L.E.D.s, and there is one General Signals electronic bell. I didn't shoot more angles of the crossing because it was right at the entrance to a private industrial property and there were several prominently placed "No Trespassing" signs.
The FRA report mentions two extra crossbucks and two stop signs, which are no longer here.
Pictures 1-2 were taken on February 22, 2007.

The signals activate in picture 3 for the Park Job, now on the mainline on its way back to the yard. The train stopped so the conductor could line a switch, then reversed to pick him up, temporarily deactivating the crossing.

After 9 minutes of blocking the crossing, the signals finally get a rest.
The audio clip below was taken from when the crossing activated for the second time, but the camcorder's tape ran out right after the locomotive got through the crossing.
