Upgrades in Madison, TN
On August 24, 2018, I went to go to Madison, Tennessee to check out a few crossings. I found out that 2 crossings, Nesbitt Lane and Monticello Avenue have gotten upgrades.
Nesbitt Lane has gotten a minor upgrade: The lights are now WCH 12x24 Lights with Leotek LEDs and a back crossbuck was added for both signals. No other changes reported.
Monticello Avenue has gotten a major upgrade: The lights are now WCH 12x24 Lights with Leotek LEDs, the gate mechanisms are now Siemens, the gatelights are NEG, a back crossbuck was added, and the bell is an NEG E-Bell. They did however, leave the gateless signal unchanged, as the 8 inch lights still remain.
Willams Avenue has not been changed last time I was there.

I had a feeling they had installed completely new signals at Monticello Avenue. Wonder if the gateless signal will get replaced next?

I don't know if it will be replaced, because I'm thinking that remains to be seen...freebrickproductions wrote:I had a feeling they had installed completely new signals at Monticello Avenue. Wonder if the gateless signal will get replaced next?

Well, they replaced the other two and there's a pile of gravel and an outhouse near the gateless signal...Ethan the Railfanner wrote:I don't know if it will be replaced, because I'm thinking that remains to be seen...freebrickproductions wrote:I had a feeling they had installed completely new signals at Monticello Avenue.

UPDATE:
The gateless crossing is now upgraded. Lights are now WCH 12x24 Lights with Leotek LEDs. I will soon get a video at this crossing if I get a chance.
