*originally recorded on 3-25-26*

Signal on the left: 4 pairs of Safetran 8 inch lights with Safetran Fading LEDs, a General Signals Type 3 electronic bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, and RECO LED gate lights.
Signal on the right: 3 pairs of Safetran 8 inch lights with Safetran Fading LEDs, a Safetran gate mechanism, and RECO LED gate lights.

After catching the northbound grain in Covington, I decided to chase it north to this crossing in Halls as I wanted to see about getting it recorded as well. After a bit of waiting, I was able to catch this northbound grain train for a second time on this day.

This crossing is a rather nice one, featuring an old late-1970s ICG install at it. In the 1990s, the IC replaced the bell here with a Safetran Hybrid bell. Then, sometime between 2008 and 2012, CN upgraded this crossing to LED. Finally, sometime after when EthantheRailfanner visited this crossing in 2020 and 2023, CN sadly replaced the Hybrid here with the current GS Type 3 e-bell. Thankfully, since then, nothing else has changed to this crossing, which is nice to see. Nice to get another fully 8 inch crossing on this line filmed, especially since it still retains its original Safetran gate mechs.
