Nice WABCO equipment!

Kind of hard to see, but this is an active crossing near Bonnieville, KY:

Kinda makes me wonder what the bell was before the GS e-bell.

Based on the lights, one of the following was most likely the original bell:
WRRS
Federal Signal
Modern Industries

What kind of install is this? I always get curious about various installs along CSX lines.

This is one of the strangest signal set-ups I've ever seen:

This is most likely an SOU install:

That crossbuck though over on the far signal...

Was this likely just a crossbuck crossing?

All older Seaboard Coast Line installs, I believe. TBH, I'm entirely sure if the first crossing is Seaboard or very early CSX (possibly the latter though, given the amount of WCH 8 inch lights on several former L&N lines I've seen). The second seems to have been an earlier SCL install, and they seem to be rather rare these days, as I'm not aware of too many other installs like that. I know the CSX Lineville Sub has one in LaGrange, GA though.

Active crossing on the WTNN in Jackson, TN:

Active crossing with the google driver not being able to wait

Happens all the time bud

Active crossing in Acworth, GA that has since been upgraded:

To prove that the crossing there has been upgraded and became a quiet zone:
