*originally recorded on 12-10-20*

Signal on the left: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x20 inch lights with GE Uniform Look LEDs, a General Signals Type 3 electronic bell, a Siemens gate mechanism, and RECO LED gate lights.
Signal on the right: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x20 inch lights with GE Uniform Look LEDs, a dead General Signals (Type 3?) electronic bell, a Siemens gate mechanism, and RECO LED gate lights.

After catching NS 329 in Prospect, I chased it on back up to the only other signalized crossing in Ashbank for one more video of the SD70ACu leader, seeing as I don't see 'em leadin' too often these days. After this, I let the train go, making this my final crossing of the day.

This crossing is another decent one, and I suppose it ain't too bad of one to end off on. The signals here are some relatively modern NS gated signals, likely having been installed here sometime around 2015/2016. No major changes appear to have occured here so far, though, a bit unusually, it sounds like the GS e-bell on the closer side is dead. Not sure why it would've died so young, but at least the other one still works.

After catching 320 in Lynn, I decided to continue chasing it south. I'd thought about going down to the crossing south of Nauvoo, but I decided to head for this crossing instead. Here we see NS 320 at the ninth crossing I filmed it at on this day.

Since I last filmed this crossing back in 2020, a couple of changes had occurred here. First off, the closer signal had its bell replaced with a new GS Type 3 e-bell. At some point, two of the gate lights on the closer signal were replaced as well. One was replaced with a newer RECO LED while another was replaced with an incandescent RECO gate light. Nothing else appears to have changed since 2020, however.
