CR 52 #1, Pelham, AL

*originally recorded on 11-27-17*
Signal on the left: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x24 inch lights with Dialight 433 Low Wattage Ball LEDs, an NEG electronic bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, and RECO LED gate lights.
Signal on the right: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x24 inch lights, a Safetran gate mechanism, and RECO LED gate lights.
After seeing that unexpected northbound mixed freight on the Lineville Sub, I noticed a signal maintainer sitting next to the crossing for the S&NA South Sub on CR 52, so I stopped and chatted with him for a little bit. As he was about to have to check this crossing, I decided to quickly set-up and record the test here. The crossing itself isn't the most interesting, but it does have a rather neat mix of LED and incandescent lights. This is likely due to the signal on the right having been installed in the early to mid 2000s when the crossing got upgraded, but the other signal having been replaced later due to a knock-down.
