Signal on the left: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x20 inch lights and a General Signals Type-2 electronic bell.
Signal on the right: 5 pairs of Safetran 12x20 inch lights and a Safetran Type-3 electronic bell.

The reason why the signal on the left is like that is because the Alabama & Tennessee River Railway's line crosses the NS at a quad-diamond right over there.

Recorded the other side of the crossing on 6-27-19, with no changes here to report:

(Also, check the description of the video if you want some interesting trivia about how the lights on the larger cantilever used to be maintained back in the day.)

And here's a video from 6-28-19 showing the south side of the crossing where the entirety of the smaller cantilever is visible:

No changes still as of 5-19-21:

Still the same as of 10-10-21:

Nothing too major has changed here as of 7-12-23. Unfortunately, however, something will likely soon change here as the GS Type 2 e-bell here has sadly gone dead:

The GS Type 2 e-bell here now works again as of 6-2-24:

No changes here as of 5-6-25:



It seems there was some kind of malfunction a few maintainers were out here trying to fix at the time, which I think might be why the crossing remained on longer than normal after the train passed in the first video. It was fixed by the second video it appears as well.

No changes to the equipment here as of 3-5-26, though unfortunately the GS Type 2 e-bell here has died again:
