Thach Road, Thach, AL
Signal on the left: 3 pairs of Safetran 12x24 inch lights with WCH 2nd Generation LEDs.
Signal on the right: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x24 inch lights with WCH 2nd Generation LEDs and a damaged NEG electronic bell.
This crossing also has a some more nice old L&N Modern Industries signals at it. However, like the other crossings along the CSX S&NA North Sub, the original Modern Industries lights got replaced with Safetran 12x24 inch lights, along with the bell being replaced and an LED upgrade around 2013. The NEG e-bell got damaged at some point somehow, knocking the speaker out of the top of the bell and breaking one of the sides. Also note the backwards crossbuck on the right-hand signal.
They/Them for me, please.

Didn't you know that we as motorists have the right-of-way? That's why those signals indicate 'crossing railorad!'ToledoRailfan wrote:Gotta love those Crossing Railroads!

Sadly, a lot of people really think that.

Since I last recorded this crossing, the damaged NEG e-bell here was replaced with a newer one and the backwards crossbuck was corrected. As of 9-2-21 though, no other major changes had occured here:

On 4-1-24, CSX has roughed in new conduit around the crossing for an upgrade here as well. No other changes to this crossing since I last recorded it, however:
