Signal on the right: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x24 inch lights, a Safetran mechanical bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, and RECO LED gate lights.

After catching the HOG at Joe Wright Drive, we chased it over to this crossing on the east side of Cordele. Before they got to it though, they stopped, pulled Thomas off of the train, and shoved him down a nearby spur behind an industry, I suppose to keep anyone from trying to damage him before they could had him off to CSX. However, they soon continued on their way back into their yard and tied down for the day.

This crossing's another nice one, featuring a mid-90s install from the GSWR. It appears that there haven't been any major changes to these signals since the GSWR installed them, outside of the gate arms and gate lights being replaced at some point. Always nice to see older Safetran signals though, and installs like this kinda remind me of ones you'd see on some shortlines up in the northeast.
