Facing North. There used to be a SP train station here in the 1950s when SP used to have passenger train service. |
Facing South. The traffic lights don't look very bright, but it's just an illusion that the camera gives. The red lights are L.E.D. |
|
These 3 pictures were taken in late October, 2006.

|
Compare with picture 1... |
You can see some cantilevers pieced together in the background. |
Gate motors with REAR 12"x24" ball L.E.D. lights on them! |
This setup will support 1 cantilever and 2 gated mast signals (one of them as a median signal), and a total of 3 GS electronic bells. All lights will be 12"x24" unfortunately...
All pieces including the ball L.E.D. lights appear to come from Safetran at this point.

|
|
This is quite unusual... The backgrounds and visors are drying after being painted with black spray paint?! |
More views of the lights and 2 out of the 3 General Signals electronic bells. |
|
|
|
|
Compare with picture 1 and 4 facing North. |
The median signal is all ready to go. |
The cantilevers are still on the ground, waiting to go up. |
As seen in picture 11, the lights are made by Fabricated Metals.
|
|
|
The lone signal on the left means that there will be a side road to bypass the traffic light here at the intersection.
Once again, rear gate lights are being used instead of putting them on the cantilever masts. |

An overview of the crossing. |
A bagged new traffic light with a no turn on red restriction. |
One of the four GS electronic bells here. |
This is one set of two. |
Compare this with picture 1... |
Witch Hazel Rd. visible from the new crossing. Soon this sight will vanish. |
12"x24" ball L.E.Ds are standard fare here. |
A wide view of the closed crossing. |
You can see WCH L.E.D. gate lights on the gates.
Pictures 14-21 were taken on October 13, 2007.

The northbound cantilever. |
The northbound mast signal on the median. |
A view looking up at the southbound cantilever which has one fewer pair of lights than the northbound cantilever. |
Facing west. The highway on the right is Oregon State Highway 8. |
Facing east. Close by is the defunct Witch Hazel crossing. |
A closeup of the southbound cantilever. |
A wide crossing view from the north, looking south. |
The signal for the dedicated right turn lane ramp. |
Behind the signal in picture 29 is a NO TURN ON RED sign. This crossing does not have a light-up NO RIGHT TURN sign like 170th Ave. does in Beaverton, OR.
Pictures 22-29 were taken on November 4, 2007. The crossing opened on October 30, 2007 replacing the Witch Hazel Rd. crossing.

The signals start up. Right now the bells are silent. |
The bells are ringing now; notice the distant traffic signals are green but the close set are red. |
The gates are down and all traffic signals in this direction are red. |
The train crosses. |

Last car... |
And the gates rise with the bells silent. |
An eastbound look at where Witch Hazel used to be. As you can tell there is no trace of the crossing. |
The new relay case complete with the brand new DOT number. |
