When I took these pictures, the NEG had only been up for a few
weeks. It had just replaced a mini bell, which was barely clinging to
life. Both crossbucks were replaced around the same time I'm assuming.
In the video below, the mini bell
is still there. You can hear how it's barely clinging to life. It was
like this for years until CSX finally replaced it. This is one of very
few bells that CSX had a good reason to replace. If you keep heading
down this line, some of the replacements just make no sense.
