I was going to try to beat the local to Midway but wound-up failing to do so, so instead, I chased it on out to Quincy. Was originally going to catch it at Dade Street, but decided to move on up to this crossing as it was getting to Quincy. As such, I set-up here and recorded TA-Local going across this crossing just after getting on the branch.
As you can see, a few changes had occured here after I filmed it in 2016, apparently later that same year in fact. By December of 2016 (looking at street view), the WCH mechanical bell on the right-hand signal for Live Oak Street (which I believe was dying in my previous video here) was replaced with an NEG electronic bell by CSX and the lights were all upgraded with Leotek EV Series LEDs. The remaining older gate arms were also replaced and all of the gate lights became RECO LEDs. Sometime after that, the tip gate light on the left-hand signal for Live Oak Street was replaced again, this time with an NEG LED gate light, but other than that, no major changes appear to have occurred here. Thankfully, three of the original four WCH mechanical bells still remain here and all still sound fairly healthy, so hopefully they'll all be here for a while to come.
The crossing had actually timed-out while I was setting up and, while I was recording at the time, I decided not to include that video. Unfortunately, I accidentally bumped my camera while filming as I didn't realize I hadn't gotten my camera tightened properly. The video is still useable, but I do wish this hadn't happened.
