Signal on the left: 4 pairs of Safetran 12x20 inch lights, a General Signals Type-2 electronic bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, an NEG gate light, and RECO gate lights.
Signal on the right: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x24 inch lights, a General Signals Type-2 electronic bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, and RECO gate lights.

This was the third train I caught today: NS 738 with two BNSF ES44ACs and two BNSF SD70ACes (with both GEVOs leading both sets of engines) pulling into Elko Siding to let 23N head on and NS 265 to come past.

It seems that the Safetran gate mechanism on the right has gotten pretty bad recently. Last year, it only creaked when the gate was finishing lowering and faintly whirred as the gates rose. Now the whirring sound is very loud and occurs whenever the gate is in motion, and the gate mechanism is still creaks when the gate arm levels out. Easily one of the noisiest ones I've heard.

I also have no idea why the crossing activated and then quickly timed out. Maybe it was just from how slowly they were moving through here.
