After catching NS 322 at CR 45, I decided to race over here to see if I could catch it at this crossing. Fortunately, it was also short enough that I was able to beat it here, and get the last crossing along the NS Memphis District East End's main line recorded! Interestingly enough, this is one of only three crossings in Jackson County with General Signals e-bells, and it has the exact same equipment as CR 500 near Woodville, AL. Also, CR 169 loops back over to CR 45 (which is located behind my camera) to the east of here, so that's why this is labeled as being the first crossing along the road. CR 169 #2 is just a pair of crossbucks though.
