Overview of the crossing, both active and inactive.

 

Both gateless signals have 12"x20" light frames for the front and rear facing lights. The sidelights are from Modern Industries, and are 12"x24". All light frames have UP LEDs inside of them. The bell is from WCH.

Another active shot.
Rare to see an SP locomotive in this era.
UP and BNSF split at this junction. UP goes straight, and BNSF takes the right track.

Picture 26 was taken at 8:35 PM, so that's why the picture is in twilight conditions.

 

Pictures 21 and 22 show the signals active with a BNSF train seen in picture 22. What actually happened is that the BNSF had a red light, and was forced to stop near the crossing. The signals activated for about 2 minutes, then timed out.
