These first 3 photos were taken by MikeRXR. They were taken sometime in 2005.
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"!

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.
