Mooresville Road, Bella Mina, AL Replaced

Post by freebrickproductions » Mon Aug 08, 2016 11:22 am

The crossing in Bella Mina, AL got an almost full make-over sometime recently. All of the equipment was replaced, with the exception of the relay case, gate arms, and gate lights, oddly enough. The new lights are also incandescent.

Here's how the crossing looked before:

Here's how the crossing looks now:

As a side note, this brings the number of mechanical bells in Limestone County, AL down to two.
They/Them for me, please.

I do wonder why the incandescents though... I guess NS just has leftover stock or they quickly went back to using incandescent only. :LOL2:

Probably the former, since an entire NS line in Georgia was upgraded to LEDs recently, apparently.
