These signals are weird. This pedestrian crossing warnss only the southbound trains. The northbound trains don't set off these signals. The only bell is on the signal on pictures 3 and 4. The flashing pattern is very fast too. They flash about 2.5 flashes per second. There are also no crossbucks on any of these signals. The Safetran mechanical bell rings for the entire duration. |

The lights are still activated while people are boarding the train. |
Here's a Northbound train. The train only waits 15 seconds while people board. Talk about fast! |
The train disappears Northbound. |
