Mike's Railroad Crossing Forum

Well, Brownsboro Road in Brownsboro, AL has had the signals at it replaced entirely. Gonna show that upgrade in a different thread, but now only Church Street in Madison, Willow Street in Scottsboro, and Houston Street in Scottsboro are the three remaining crossings along the line with 8 inch lights.

Was going to do this in another thread, but I decided to do it here instead. It focuses more on the lights.
I found out that 18th and 19th Avenue Railroad Crossings had their 8 inch lights replaced!

18th Avenue had their lights replaced with WCH 12x24 Lights with WCH 2nd Gen. LEDs for both cantilevers! Both bells still remain.




19th Avenue had the remaining 8 inchers replaced with WCH 12x24 Lights with Leotek LEDs! No other changes at the other cantilever signal. Both bells still remain. Also had its' gate arm re-stripped.




Not related, but I found out that the WCH gate mechanism with the Teardrop at 19th Avenue was replaced with a Siemens gate mechanism as well!


No video at this time for 18th Ave, but I was able to get 19th Ave in action and found out that the Teardrop Bell is still working!

18th and 19th Avenues where???

In Nashville, TN. I forgot to say where the city and state was.

At least the US&S cantilevers still stand.

Saw the upgrades a couple weeks ago, but didn't get any pictures. 12th Avenue #1 has also had the WCH gate mechs at it replaced. Also, interestingly enough, the new light-heads at 19th Avenue are re-used older WCH light heads, most likely from 7th Avenue & Fogg Street.
