Here's the other signal, with a somewhat older font for both the crossbuck and 2 tracks sign. This signal is pretty similar to the other signal shown above. |

Here are the signals activated. The bells used to only sound from startup to when the gates lowered. They now ring from startup to shutdown.
UPDATE: The bells have reverted to their old ways, going back to startup to when the gates fully lower once again, likely due to opposition from nearby residential areas. |
