After not seeing anything coming after the malfunction at Craigtown Road, I decided to stop wasting daylight an go document some of the other crossings along the line, at which point I come across this almost-pure 1980s CSX install! Deciding to try my luck, here, I start my camera recording before taking a nap. After waking up, I decided to check on the tracks, and as I was walking up to the crossing, they activate for my first train of the day: a slow moving grain train with two YN3 AC44CWs pulling it!

As mentioned earlier, this crossing is an almost pure 1980s CSX install. Pretty much the only things unoriginal to the crossing are the gates, gate lights, and emergency information tags. However, amazingly enough, this ain't just any old 1980s CSX install, it's one of the earlier ones to use 12 inch lights as it has 1st Generation WCH 12 inch lights at it along with a 1st Generation WCH mechanical bell! Amazing that it's managed to remain mostly unchanged for so long!
