Setup at this crossing next which features older WABCO signals installed by the SP when they owned this line. This crossing also recently within the past month has received these new LEDs from Rebel Railway Supply as the CFNR continues to upgrade the West Valley crossings all from incandescent to LED. I do not have a before video of this crossing with its incandescents before they were replaced a month ago. This crossing also still features the classic SP side light not being in sync with the main lights. This crossing also features both Federal Signal Mechanical Bells still also.
