After getting A714 at Battle Street, I went down to Bemiston Avenue to see if I could get them there. However, unfortunately, they stopped short of the crossing and disconnected to power, returning back to the rest of their train which they had left on the Lineville Sub. As such, I decided to catch them one last time at this crossing, watching them roll through with the rest of their train into the small yard here.

This crossing isn't anything too interesting, though I do always enjoy seeing CSX signals of this style (for some reason). This crossing is pretty much your typical modern CSX install, and was installed a couple of years ago to replace a pair of crossbucks that were here. A bit unusually though, rather than using NEG LED gate lights like most modern CSX installs like this, this one has RECO LED gate lights. Not entirely sure as to why.
