When I first saw this crossing, I thought it was an update of Avenue P in Palmdale, but upon looking at the pictures closely, I found out that this is a different crossing.

Just like Avenue P, the signals belonging to Metrolink have 12"x24" WCH ball type L.E.D. lights, while the UP signals have 12"x20" WCH incandescent lights.

 

Unlike the Avenue P crossing though are the bells. Both UP and Metrolink's shoulder signals have WCH mechanical bells, although it's rumored that UP's WCH mechanical bell is about to be replaced very soon.
