*originally recorded on 9-11-17*
Signal on the left: 3 pairs of Safetran 8 inch lights, a Safetran gate mechanism, and RECO LED gate lights.
Signal on the right: 3 pairs of Safetran 8 inch lights, a dying WRRS Mini-bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, and RECO LED gate lights.
This was the fourth train that I caught along the CSX River Line, and it was another good one! This one was a northbound CSX mixed freight with a YN3 AC44CW leading a YN2 Dash-8!
This crossing is rather nice, as it has a pair of old 8 inch signals at it with a mini-bell! Sadly, the mini-bell is dying, but it had already died before and was repaired so hopefully CSX will repair this one rather than replace it. The signal the bell is on is also rather old, as you can see, and even still has an old Penn Central DOT tag on it!
