MTH Scaletrax ITAD operating 2 different devices - can/how can it be done? | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

I recently hooked up a Scale Trax ITAD to an MTH semaphore signal, which is working correctly. I previously had a Lionel IR device controlling flashing crossing signal (no gates) very nearby. Due to some renovations, I'd like to have the ScaleTrax ITAD activate both the semaphore and the crossing signal.

The crossing signal only has 2 wires (red/black). Can this be done successfully? If so, which two wires do I connect the signal to? (The ITAD has NO, NC, COM, Aux -, and Aux + all wired to properly activate the semaphore.)

Thanks in advance, as always!

Crossing signal RED -> ITAD NO

Crossing signal BLK -> ITAD COM

Thank you, @stan2004! I was thinking it should be doable but those NC vs NO always confuse me!
