This was the last place I caught the local at before it went into the Sheffield Yard.

As you can see, since I was last here, this crossing has gotten a massive upgrade due to Avalon Avenue being widened from three to five lanes. The crossing new features two new Siemens cantilever signals, each with rather tall gate masts, and a very tall mast signal for the side street. All of the mast signals feature two wind-guards on them, though I don't think the side street signal needs to be as tall as it is as the gate arm just appears to be a pretty standard one. The gate arm near me however is rather long, and also gets rather thin near the tip of it. Kind of surprised that there's no rear overhead lights as well.
