Updated the 102 section with new webpages of the ASC E-Bell.


As freebrickproductions would say, here is my next update for the site, just in time for New Year's and oh man, it was long and big. On the brightside, this update covers new and updated crossings across 12 states! This is also the first updates for Kansas (Last updated 2012), Nebraska (Last updated 2010), and Texas (Last updated 2014). This is perhaps a huge milestone I've made, as I don't think there was any previous update that updated any more than 12 states.


This update basically covers many areas across and many railroads for the submissions, ranging from Class I mainlines to independent shortlines, but unlike other updates I've made, barely any new railroad lines have been added on my end, as me and freebrickproductions have gotten action shots and videos across the CSX Bruceton and Memphis Subdivisions and the TSRR. But what I have done is move a few crossings into the proper nearby unincorporated area such as Sand Mill Road near Camden is now in Lipe, and also change a few thumbnails too. The 102 section has also been updated; the ASC E-Bell section has been split into three webpages because of the bell having three different models. I give a thanks to Hopen111 for the split.


As a side note, beginning the next year (2024), I will be splitting my future updates into two sections: One for submissions, and one for my photos. I am expecting a lot more submissions coming in the future, and I've already got a huge bunch in while I was in the making of this, so to hopefully clear it up, any new submissions you send to me will be in a submissions exclusive update. Once I have completed and published an update that consists of my photos, I will work on the exclusive update for submissions, and then after that, back to my own photos, and so on. Plus, I'm gonna be back in college soon, so progress may be on pause for school purposes.


As this is a milestone update, I'd like to give a BIG thanks to the following users who have contributed to making this update possible, including myself:
Hopen111
KCMO Railfan
vmotati10
AngelsRailfan
tomasthetrain3
NSSignal
freebrickproductions


If you have find any errors in this update, please let me know and I'll fix it whenever possible. I'll be fixing up errors not only across this update, but also from other states too.

On Grant st in Brownsburg you flipped northern signal and southern signal in the equipment list. Just flipping northern signal and southern signal should fix it. The northern signals has the bell while the southern one does not
Check out my Roblox group called Railroad Town Replicators. We have games based in real world towns and we primary make signals. And no I’m not asking for R$ or likes. The one who is too interested in railroad crossing signals but you can’t be too intrested.

I wondered if the recent purchase announcement of the Iowa Northern by Canadian National might delay the removal of the Utilities spur. Somehow it doesn't surprise me now that CN may consider another use for these tracks and perhaps decide not to abandon them after all.
Well, :Censored:
