Signal on the right features 4 pairs of WCH 12x24 "Flatback" lights with GE Dotted LEDs mounted on a Progress/Lincoln Industries light bracket, Siemens "Imprinted" gate mechanism, Lindsay Rail cantilever, WCH E-Bell, and 3 pairs of NEG Clear LEDs.

My second video of this crossing. After the northbound manifest came by, I went over to the other side of the crossing to set up to film another train as I wanted to film the crossing on both sides. The block signal kicked on with a green signal for an approaching northbound on the main. After a short wait, I heard the train in the distance, and began recording as the train got closer to the crossing. I ended up catching a northbound empty coal train with UP #8250 leading with #5681 trailing behind, along with #7454 trailing as the DPU. Crossing itself isn't anything special, however the roadway itself has some interesting history. The signals here were installed sometime around 2019 replacing a pair of older Safetran cantilevers from the MoPac, and 2000s era WCH gated signals that replaced the previous Harmon gate mechs. It appears that the WCH E-Bells on both signals were reused from the previous signals as they were installed around 2012. The roadway itself has some interesting history as according to both Historic Aerials, and Google Earth, it appears that this crossing used to be located to the north of the current location, and the roadway was known as 95th St at that point. The roadway used to continue straight, then slightly curved to the left and eventually intersected Bannister Rd at what appeared to been a bad intersection to the west. I want to say the old signals would've been either older Safetran or WCH signals with two Safetran or WCH Mechanical Bells. The current alignment was built around 1990 with the old signals at the 95th St crossing being ripped out in 1991, and then the Safetran cantilevers, and Harmon gate mechanisms were installed here around that time too with the old road alignment being ripped out (although you can still make out where the old alignment was located at as the remains of the crossing still exist). I'm glad to finally record this crossing in action even if the old signals were sadly replaced.
