*originally recorded on 8-16-18*
Signal on the left: 6 pairs of Modern Industries 12x24 inch lights and a WCH mechanical bell.
Signal on the right: 5 pairs of Modern Industries 12x24 inch lights and a WCH mechanical bell.
This was the second crossing I had caught the TSRR at on the return trip north, and one I had been wanting to get for a while. The crossing features a pair of cantilever signals with 12x24 inch lights and two 1st Generation WCH mechanical bells. I'm honestly not sure if these signals were put up by CSX or by the TSRR, though I'm gonna guess the latter, as the TSRR appears to have briefly used 12x24 inch lights. Surprisingly, this crossing has yet to receive an LED upgrade (like most crossings in Lauderdale County), as this is the largest crossing in Florence with five lanes (and a painted median, making it about 6 lanes wide) at a sharp angle, along with having three state routes across it (though the FRA forgets about AL 157 in their inventory report). AL 17 has also got a rather short concurrency here with AL 133 and AL 157, literally taking this road from the intersection behind my camera to the intersection seen right up the road in the distance.
The traffic lights at the intersection behind me don't seem to be tied into this crossing either for some reason.
With this video though, I have recorded every active signalized crossing in Lauderdale County!
