Signal on the right: 2 pairs of Modern Industries 8 inch lights and a dying Modern Industries mechanical bell.

This crossing is a pretty nice one, featuring another later L&N install, though with the WCH cantilever on the left featuring a pair of WCH 8 inch lights, likely put up by CSX during their brief ownership of this line. Sadly, the classic MI mechanical bell at this crossing is obviously starting to wear out, so I wouldn't be surprised if it winds-up getting replaced at some point in the relatively near future. US 231 can be seen on the other side of the bridge on the other side of the crossing.

The other side of the crossing: Filmed September 29.

Signal on the left: 2 pairs of Modern Industries 8 inch lights and a General Signals Type 3 electronic bell.

This was the second train I caught on August 25th, which was the second deadhead Star move back to the yard, with another F40PH for power.

Since I was last here, the dying MI bell here was replaced with a GS Type 3 e-bell. I believe this was one of the first bells RJ Corman replaced after taking over the NERR, as it was replaced in 2019, though I ain't too surprised given how worn-out the MI bell was. Thankfully, the rest of the classic L&N equipment here is still around.
