What's so rare about that? Just looks like boring normal modern equipment. Most if not all of the members of the forum are older than one of the signals and a good portion are older than the other as well...

I just find the set-up neat, especially with how the 1980s CSX signal is almost entirely unchanged (many have had either the bells and/or gate mechs on them replaced since they were installed).

Ah. Maybe something happened to the previous signal on the right side of the road.

99% certain it was knocked down in the mid 2000s, so CSX replaced it.

NS 6079 (SD40-2) and NS 5188 (GP38-2) leading a phosphate or grain train in Garden City, Georgia. 5188 is a high-hood. Wonder why they were using that? Weird for a 41 year old. However 6079 was built in 1975! So that locomotive is 42 or may be approaching is 42nd birthday, Happy birthday NS 6079!
