The signal in pictures 1 and 2 has a US&S teardrop bell. These are very rare to find anymore. Picture 3 is facing North.

Picture 4 is facing South. Note the other signal shown. It's a small one, and has to be put on a cement block so that it can get to it's proper height. These are hard to see anymore too. Pictures 5 and 6 show that signal with an incorrecly insalled crossbuck and a WCH Mechanical motor driven bell, which is quite rare to find in service anymore.

Picture 7 shows the rear to the WCH signal. The traffic was a little heavy for me to cross, so I got a close-up picture of one of the 12"x24" lights that's on both signals. This crossing gets 2 trains per day, so at least the teardrop bell still has a little life left in it.

 

Note: The FRA says that the crossing is closed, even though it really isn't.
