Chemstrand Rd #2 plus 9 Mile AGR

Post by Crossingman18 » Sun Feb 08, 2009 2:40 pm

I am putting in a crossing from both Cantonment, and Pensacola.

Chemstrand Rd #2 is located in what I like to call the boondocks, because its covered in a thick forest. This crossing has a mixture of old and new. One Cantilever is the WCH setup I believe whiel the other is Safetran. The Lights are Safetran 12X24 Incandescant lights with RECO LED gate lights. The bell is a GS Type 2 E bell. Now The gates are really short and cover only half the lane on both sides. I think the gate I am facing could be a little close to the road. Really the reason for the cantilevers is because the crossing is at the bottom of 2 steep hills. The line is a CSX Spur and its only use is to haul tankers and hoppers to the Solutia Plant. Only small Locomotives can haul through here because the track isn't in the bestest of shape. You will usually find GP40's, SD50's or Switchers. You wont ever find the big boys.

9 Mile AGR is in the northern outskirts of Pensacola. this crossing is about half a mile away from 9 Mile CSX. This crossing falls on the Alabama Gulf Coast Railroad, which is under the power of Rail America. This crossing has 2 Cantilevers and 2 Mast Signals. All have gates. The cantilevers and the 12X24 LED lights are made by Lincoln Industry. The mast signals are made by Safetran. Each signal has a bell and the bell is a GS type 2 E bell. You can find all sorts of cool trains as well as some sweet crossings on this line (that is if you can ever get a train). The line gets 1-2 weekly trains and they always come at different times. I have seen from GP40's, GP38's 35's and GP40-2 (Safety Cab) plus a CN locomotive and a GT locomotive. And ofcourse Rail America's.

If I remember correctly, you or another person posted a vid of this crossing in action on YouTube... Do we know the status of the burnt out lights?? Quite a few were burnt out on the signals and the gates... :Confused:

Yeah, that was me who did the video of Chemstrand Rd #2. That was the reason I came back for photographs incase the lights were still burned out. Well, The lights are fixed, but the gates are still too short, and the gate closest to me is upside down. Bravo CSX.
