Interesting how this crossing hasn't been blue-tagged yet!

I went back to this crossing back in January and it has blue tags now. The GRS-WRRS gate mechanism has been replace by a Safetran one. Despite those changes the Nazi graffiti is still on the other gate mechanism.

Oops, I didn't even bother looking at the upload date. For a second, I thought these were all recent videos. :Doh:

I do know though that the blue DOT tags started popping up on CSX crossings in the Tampa area around 2013, so it was definitely a gradual transition.

They were supposed to be done by September of 2015, according to the people at the HMCR, IIRC. However, a few white ones still remain in service even after then!
They/Them for me, please.

Are the blue DOT tags a federal mandate for all railroads?

I think so as they've been appearing on numerous rail-lines in the country. Although some CSX and BNSF lins in Canada have them strangely enough but without a crossing ID.

Canada is an entirely different system in regards to railroading. :Tongue1:

I'm asking mainly because the SunRail DOT tags in Florida are all original white CSX tags but with the logo taped over.
