Signal on the left: 2 pairs of Modern Industries 12x24 inch lights.
Signal on the right: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x24 inch lights, 1 pair of Modern Industries 12x24 inch lights, and a Safetran Type-3 electronic bell.

This is the last crossing on the NS Memphis District East End to have Modern Industries lights.

Got a better video from the other side today:

And I got this video yesterday showing the new signal in action:


*originally recorded on 3-15-18*

Signal on the left: 1 pair of Safetran 12x20 inch lights and 1 pair of Safetran 12x24 inch lights.
Signal on the right: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x24 inch lights, 1 pair of Modern Industries 12x24 inch lights, and a Safetran Type 3 electronic bell.

A while back, the all MI signal on the far side got knocked down when a train hit a car on the crossing, so NS quickly replaced it with one of the old signals from Alabama Street in Courtland, AL. Fortunately, at least the right-hand signal still retains its pair of MI 12x24s, the last ones on the NS Memphis District East End. The signal on the right also has an extremely faded crossbuck, almost to the point of illegibility. NS should probably replace that soon.

*originally recorded on 12-15-22*

Signal on the left: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x20 inch lights.
Signal on the right: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x24 inch lights, 1 pair of Modern Industries 12x24 inch lights, and a Safetran Type 3 electronic bell.

After catching NS 289 in Scottsboro, I confirmed there wasn't anything else coming behind it, and then went over to this crossing for 93Z again since I hadn't filmed it in a while. Here we see 93Z once more, flying through the city of Hollywood, AL.

Since I was last here, NS has changed the 24 inch backgrounds on the far signal to another pair of 20 inch ones, making that signal fully 12x20 inch. Thankfully, no other changes have occurred here and the closer signal even still retains its MI 12x24 inch lights.
The worn-out crossbuck on the closer signal was also replaced with a newer one.
