A view of the crossing. The lights are 12"x24". There is no bell seen in the signal in pictures 1 and 2. The signal in Picture 3 has a WCH mechanical bell. The signal is on the wrong side because the tracks are too close to the other side of the road.

As they activate, I realize that these signals are L.E.D, and the first time I've ever seen an L.E.D. light up!
