All pictures were taken on April 4, 2008 by TrainmanKight.

 

The FRA says that 74 trains come by daily as of 2008, but I was told that's way too high.

This is a very beaten up crossing. The crossbucks and 12"x20" & 12"x24" lights in pictures 3-4 are in very bad shape.

The gate mechanism in picture 2 is from Safetran.

The gate is almost albino.
The lone bell, a GS electronic bell.
The left light has a 12"x24" background, and the right light has no visor.

The other signal is in somewhat better shape.

The rear lights are in poor shape, with a visor falling off.
A broken Transport Products gate mechanism.
The lights are in good shape here.

The crossbuck and 4 tracks sign are in bad shape though.
DOT information.

 

Note #1: These signals are constantly knocked over every day due to truckers not watching where they're driving, and TRRA is constantly repairing the crossing. Maybe the crossing should've been crossbucks...

 

Note #2: The FRA says the crossing is in a quiet zone, but I've been told that's false.

 

The crossing itself is in an industrial area, which is in an okay area, but getting here is another story...
