Once again, a train beat me to this crossing. It was moving pretty slow though. It took over 5 minutes to cross. Even though the lights are "clear" L.E.D., The bell seen on picture 1 is a WCH mechanical bell. The other signal used to have a WCH type 1 electronic bell. It was replaced by a General Signals Type 2 electronic bell that can be found today. Also, just for the fun of it, these L.E.Ds don't have the circuit board stuff that the Durand Main St. 1 has. |

Picture 9: A look at the side of a signal light. Normally this is white due to a clear bulb, but in this case, it shows as red due to the L.E.D. being all red. Pictures 10-12: I went behind the gate to get these different shots of the signal. |

You can see the tint change colors in pictures 14-16. Our ride was located next to us, and there was no place to park to get videos of the crossing, so when there was about 20 seconds to go, I hopped back into the car and continued filming until the very end. The bell audio was cut off to almost nothing unfortunately. I do know that the bells do shut off when the gates go up though. |
