9th Avenue, Jasper, AL
*originally recorded on 12-30-20*
Signal on the left: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x20 inch lights, a General Signals Type 2 electronic bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, and RECO gate lights.
Signal on the right: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x20 inch lights, a Safetran gate mechanism, and RECO gate lights.
After catching 329 in Birmingham, I was able to successfully chase it up to 20th Street in Jasper, only for my camera to fail to record it, sadly. As such, I just went on up to this crossing and waited for NS 320 to come through.
After a little while of waiting, 320 did come through, but had a pretty boring lash-up, TBH. The head-end power was an ET44AC leading an SD70IACe, while the mid-train DPUs were a another SD70IACe and a Dash-9. This also wound-up being my last train of 2020, so a bit of a disappointing one to end off the year on (though I suppose it's fitting considering the rest of the year).
The crossing itself ain't the most interesting one either. The signals here are a pretty standard NS install from around 2010 or so, which replaced a pair of mostly, if not entirely, original SOU gated signals at about that time. Since these signals were installed, no major changes appear to have occurred to them either. On the other hand though, I was able to end off 2020 with only three signalized crossings left to record in Jasper, all three of which I got knocked out in early 2021, so there's that.
They/Them for me, please.
