The CCKY has a ton of WCH e-bells along their active line. They also used to have a ton of 8 inch lights, but those were all replaced last year, IIRC.
They/Them for me, please.

No, ATN is the reporting mark for the Alabama & Tennessee River Railway. The AT&N was a shortline in the southern part of the state, and probably operated trackage that's now part of the AGR.

Classic cantilever signals:
https://www.google.com/maps/@39.4337739 ... 312!8i6656

A bit of an interesting Safetran install here, as it appears that the counterweight arms are set-up for these to be median signals (or Australian signals :Tongue2:):
https://www.google.com/maps/@39.4434201 ... 312!8i6656

A rather wide median on a two-lane road makes for a rather interesting crossing:
https://www.google.com/maps/@39.465481, ... 312!8i6656
https://www.google.com/maps/@39.4657817 ... 312!8i6656
Also got the unusual counterweight arm arrangement there as well.

Active crossing with a slightly damaged signal:
https://www.google.com/maps/@39.6069057 ... 312!8i6656

Another active crossing, though it looks to be a malfunction:
https://www.google.com/maps/@39.6103224 ... 312!8i6656

I really like these signals for some reason:
https://www.google.com/maps/@39.6130661 ... 312!8i6656

Some more older gated signals, with a rather cool look to them, IMO:
https://www.google.com/maps/@39.8044195 ... 312!8i6656

Looks to be another malfunctioning crossing:
https://www.google.com/maps/@39.8072294 ... 312!8i6656

Weird gate arms:

They/Them for me, please.
