12" x 24" Safetran lights. |
A WRRS/GRS Model 10 gate mechanism. |
These are some old WRRS Model 10 gated signals, although unfortunately the lights are now 12" x 24" Safetran incandescent lights. Everything else, including the mechanical bell is from WRRS or the partnership of WRRS-GRS.

Picture 7 is a closeup of the WRRS mechanical bell. Picture 8 shows the relay case. It bears a label expressing a common Madisonian political sentiment. |

Here are a couple action pictures of the other side of the crossing taken back on November 25, 2007. Note the upside-down gate arm. You can barely see Dickinson St. #2 in the background of both pictures.
