Signal on the left: 3 pairs of WCH 12x24 inch lights and a WCH mechanical bell.
Signal on the right: 3 pairs of WCH 12x24 inch lights and a dead WCH mechanical bell.

This train was traveling down the CSX S&NA South Sub Main 1 track. The reason why this crossing is single-tracked though is because the two Mains split going through Alabaster, AL. It appears that the Main 1 carries mostly southbound traffic while Main 2 carries northbound traffic.

I went to this crossing first as it is a rather nice set-up: an almost pure gateless 1980s CSX install! Unfortunately, one of the bells is dead and the other is starting to die.

No major changes here as of 1-8-22. In fact, both the dead WCH mechanical bell and working (but dying) WCH mechanical bell are still around, with no noticeable changes to either.
