This crossing is very easy to spot. It's just off of Arizona Highway 64 about 10 miles or so North of Interstate 40.

This crossing is reported to have just crossbucks by the FRA. These signals are pretty new. There's only one General Signals electronic bell here, and the lights are 12"x24" Ball L.E.Ds.

Facing South. You can see the train coming on October 8, 2006. |
I got the Grand Canyon train active through here! This setup is exactly the same as the Pronghorn Ranch crossing. There's one GS type 2 e-bell seen in picture 13, and the lights are ball L.E.D. |

The train on this day was pretty long. The train took about 25 seconds to finish crossing. |

One thing I noticed about the gate lights, (which are also L.E.D) is that a few times, they go dim, then brighten back up again a few times. The ball L.E.D. lights did not have any dimming problems.
