Signal on the left: 4 pairs of Safetran 12x24 inch lights with WCH 2nd Generation LEDs, a Safetran Type 3 electronic bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, and RECO LED gate lights.
Signal on the right: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x24 inch lights with WCH 2nd Generation LEDs, a Safetran gate mechanism, and RECO LED gate lights.

My camera doesn't like the WCH 2nd Generation LEDs on the CSX Chattanooga Sub very much for some reason.

This crossing is rather busy as it gets both NS and CSX traffic due to it being just east of where the NS Memphis District joins up with the CSX Chattanooga Sub for both lines to get to Chattanooga, TN.

Signal on the left: 4 pairs of Safetran 12x24 inch lights with WCH 2nd Generation LEDs, an NEG electronic bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, and RECO LED gate lights.
Signal on the right: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x24 inch lights with WCH 2nd Generation LEDs, a Safetran gate mechanism, and RECO LED gate lights.

As you can see, since I was out here in 2015, the Safetran Type 3 electronic bell has gotten replaced with an NEG e-bell. This replacement occurred sometime within 2016. Other than that, the crossing doesn't appear to have changed any.

After catching NS 101, I decided to head over to Stevenson to see what was running. When I got here, I found-out CSX had a northbound coming, so I decided to set-up here for it. Said northbound turned-out to be CSX M648, which had an ES40DC leading an AC44CW for power.

Nothing too major has changed to this crossing since I last filmed it, it seems. However, the far signal now appears to have a full set of NEG LED gate lights on it, which it didn't have when I last recorded this back in 2017. Also shot from the north side of the crossing this time around, which I think makes for a pretty nice angle.
