Man, where do you get all this time for driving around Alabama, especially at your age?!

I have a lot of free time. Helps that I'm only taking three classes this semester at UAH, though I do plan on getting a job soon to fund a trip I plan to take up to New Jersey next summer.

I'm kind of in the same situation as you... I graduated from Mt. Baker High School last June and have taken the year off.

The only change here is that the middle gate light on the near signal was replaced with a RECO LED. The far signal actually had two RECO LED gate lights when I last recorded it, but I didn't notice them at the time.

*originally recorded on 4-12-23*
Signal on the left: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x20 inch lights, a Safetran gate mechanism, RECO LED gate lights, and a RECO gate light.
Signal on the right: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x20 inch lights, a Safetran mechanical bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, RECO LED gate lights, and a RECO gate light.
After I caught NS 733 in Decatur, I continued on west towards Mississippi. I got ahead of the 733 around Wheeler, so I decided to try and see if I could beat it here. Thankfully, I was able to do so, and had a good bit of time to spare, though decided to move my tripod a bit closer just before the signals here activated. This was the last time I caught 733 this morning, though it wasn't the last time I'd see it this day.
No major changes appear to have occurred to this crossing since I last recorded it, though it appears that the tip gate light on the closer signal was replaced with a RECO LED sometime more recently. Glad to see the 1st Gen Safetran mechanical bell is still going strong here though.
