*originally recorded on 11-21-24*
Signal on the left: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x20 inch lights, a General Signals Type 2 electronic bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, NEG gate lights.
Signal on the right: 4 pairs of Safetran 12x20 inch lights, a General Signals Type 2 electronic bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, and NEG gate lights.
After catching 55G, I hopped on down to this crossing for the southbound and waited for it. After close to two hours of waiting, I was able to get my third train of the day: NS 40Z with a pair of SD70ACes sandwiching an ES44DC for power, rolling to a stop here in Fort Payne to meet an approaching northbound.
This crossing is another decent one, featuring another early-2000s NS install that's still largely original. At some point, NS replaced both gate arms here with newer ones, though the crossing still remains almost entirely unchanged otherwise. For some reason, the front-light mast light on the closer signal is rather dim. I will say, I do quite like the view into downtown Fort Payne from this angle.
