*originally recorded on 3-12-18*
Signal on the left: 5 pairs of Safetran 12x20 inch lights, a General Signals Type 2 electronic bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, and RECO gate lights.
Signal on the right: 5 pairs of Safetran 12x20 inch lights, a General Signals Type 1 electronic bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, and RECO gate lights.
This crossing is pretty similar to the last crossing I have yet to record on this branch (AL 20/Alt. US 72), though it has mostly older lights and appears to have been installed in either the very late 1990s or early 2000s, with the only changes since then being the replacement of the bell on the northern signal and the installation of the blue ENS signs. Either way, as I mentioned in my previous video taken at this crossing, I was pleasantly surprised to find out it has a GS Type 1 at it as I was expecting two GS Type 2s. It appears that the last crossing I have yet to record on this line has the same bell combo, so that might make for three crossings on the NS Memphis District East End with GS Type 1s! One of the sirens for the Browns Ferry Nuclear Power Plant can be seen in the background as well.
Fixed!
