This crossing is kind of hidden from a lot of crossings. The signal in pictures 1 and 2 has 12"x24" ball L.E.D. lights with a General Signals electronic bell. It looks like it's in action. I wasn't told whether it was or not.

 

Picture 3 shows the other signal, which has 8" lights, as well as a General Signals electronic bell.

 

A weird thing I noticed: On the 12"x24" signal, the mast is covered with heavy rust, while the mast on the 8" signal is a lot more "cleaner"!


Seeing small signals on blocks is getting to be a rare sight these days!

 

The following picture updates come from Rich Owens, and were taken on January 3, 2008.

A DOT sign found on the 12"x24" signal.
The 12"x24" signal has a General Signals type 1 e-bell.
The signals were malfunctioning, so here are a few shots of the Dialight/Safetran FLX-4000 ball LEDs in action.

The mast is a little repainted silver, and not quite as rusty as before. There's also a little extra unwanted graffiti though.

Note: GT/CN was called about this malfunction problem, but it was a while before someone showed up to fix them.
