The General Signals e-bell here replaced a Safetran Type-3.

Based on the fact that the bell installed was a Type-1, I wouldn't be surprised if CSX is doing a bell refurbishment program now to save money.

After catching Q026, the holdout signal upgraded to clear for a southbound right behind it, so I went down to this crossing to get it recorded. The southbound train turned-out to be Q029, and here we see it heading south out of Cullman with a YN3b ES44AH leading an YN2 AC44CW.

As you can see, since I last recorded this crossing 6 years ago, a few changes have occured here. Sadly, the re-used GS Type 1 e-bell that was here (which came from Arnold Street) has apparently since died and been replaced with the current NEG e-bell. At some point as well, the gate arms and gate lights here were both replaced, and both signals now have NEG LED gate lights. No other changes appear to have occured here though.
