Mike's Railroad Crossing Forum

*originally recorded on 3-15-18*

Signal on the left: 4 pairs of Safetran 12x24 inch lights with WCH 2nd Generation LEDs and a Safetran Type 2 electronic bell.
Signal on the right: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x24 inch lights with WCH 2nd Generation LEDs.

I had decided to go up to Stevenson to see if anything else was coming, and sure enough, there was a green signal for a Nashville-bound train, which I could just see in the distance. So i went over to this crossing to record it as I hadn't done so yet. This crossing has a pair of gateless signals, which was done by the L&N and likely had all Modern Industries equipment. In fact, the left-hand signal retained a Modern Industries mechanical bell until 2007 when it was replaced by the current bell. The signal on the right was knocked-down at one point through and CSX replaced it with a newer Safetran signal, only for it to have gotten knocked over again sometime more recently as the signal is now shinier and features WCH base rather than a Safetran one. It also has some wires sticking out of the top of it, making me wonder if CSX wants to add a second e-bell here.
