After catching M616, I came over to Collins Avenue where the Olive Sub runs by, and waited on the M819. The train was running a bit late, so I was here awhile before checking the Metrolink tracker on my phone. Train eventually ran through the crossing and stopped at the Orange Depot nearby.
It was a little difficult to get every signal in frame because there was a parking lot entrance not visible to the camera, and it was being guard by trespassing sensor.
From what y'all could tell, the Safetran mechanical bell that was dying a little over a year ago still is hanging on, and a bit healthier. I'm guessing the bell was fixed sometime in the 2024 season prior to this, and is already getting a bit weak.
