This crossing is located on the CSX Chattanooga Subdivision.

Two cantilevers with a mix of 12"x20" and 12"x24" lights warn drivers here.

These lights are from Safetran.

The lone bell at the crossing, a WCH bell.

An overview of the crossing.

The relay case.

One of two DOT signs.

Track view.

Another view of the other signal.

A train is approaching.

Note how the gate has a shock absorber because of its long length.

The 12"x20" Modern Industries lights in action.

The Safetran 12"x24" lights in action. Notice how these don't have rear lights, but the other cantilever does?

The train eventually crosses after blocking traffic for a while. As expected, the WCH bell only rings from startup to when the gates fully lower.

Another track view.

Views from the other side of the tracks.

All lights on this cantilever have Modern Industries 12"x24" incandescent lights.

Track view looking south towards Enon Springs Road.	Looking north with an Automatic Equipment Identification (AEI) scanner. These read the RFID tags on cars as they pass by to make sure they're going in the right locations.
