Red River Rd, Gallatin, TN got an upgrade

Post by Ethan the Railfanner » Sun Jul 01, 2018 8:38 pm

Well, this was an unexpected surprise, because I was in Gallatin on my way to my uncle's house near Gallatin, I found out that Red River Road in Gallatin, TN had its lights and bells replaced. The lights are now WCH 12x24 Lights with I believe Leotek or WCH 2nd Gen. LEDs (Likely Leotek). And the bells are now NEG E-Bells too. But the good news is that the old white DOT tags still remain at this crossing.

This a very busy Railroad Crossing, as many cars cross this crossing during the times, which could explain why this crossing needed to be upgraded. I will see about getting an action shot of this newly upgrade crossing soon. Also, this crossing now went from Interesting to Boring.

The picture was taken in a car.

I also just noticed that, oddly enough, the bases for the old WCH mechanical bells are still on the tops of the masts.
They/Them for me, please.

Here's a video of the new action shot of that crossing. And the LEDs are Leotek.
