*originally recorded on 12-4-19* Signal on the left: 3 pairs of WCH 12x24 inch lights with GE Uniform Look LEDs, a WCH gate mechanism, and RECO LED gate lights.
Far median signal: 3 pairs of WCH 12x24 inch lights with GE Uniform Look LEDs, a WCH gate mechanism, and RECO LED gate lights.
Near median signal: 2 pairs of WCH 12x24 inch lights with GE Uniform Look LEDs, a WCH gate mechanism, and RECO LED gate lights.
Signal on the right: 3 pairs of WCH 12x24 inch lights with GE Uniform Look LEDs, a General Signals Type 3 e-bell, a WCH gate mechanism, and RECO LED gate lights.
After the ATN finished switching up in Guntersville, they had to wait a while for permission before being able to continue on south. Eventually, the train did get permission, but after switching the customer to the north of this crossing, the train had to wait a while longer (it appears) for permission to continue south, also likely waiting on a new crew. While watching them switch, there were also some signal maintainers here doing some work, so I got a bunch of videos of this crossing in action.
There's been a few changes here since I last recorded this crossing in 2016. First off, the far median signal appears to have been replaced entirely for some reason, and now sports all WCH 2nd Generation LEDs. All but one of the gate arms here were replaced as well, though I believe all of the gate lights are still RECO LEDs. Interestingly enough, the maintainers here were actively installing the new gate arm on the median signal when I first arrived, though I believe the gate mech was replaced as well, for some reason. No other major changes worth noting here currently, though one of the LEDs on the left-hand signal is starting to go dead, it appears.
