*originally recorded on 12-28-18*
Signal on the left: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x20 inch lights with Dialight Ball LEDs, a General Signals Type 3 electronic bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, and 4 inch NEG LED gate lights.
Signal on the right: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x20 inch lights with Dialight Ball LEDs, a Safetran Type 2 electronic bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, a 4 inch NEG LED gate light, and 2 7 inch NEG LED gate lights.
This crossing features some pretty typical early to mid-2000s NERR signals, and like most of the crossings along the NERR mainline, one of the bells and most of the 7 inch gate lights have since been replaced. However, a pair of the original 7 inch gate lights do still remain on the right-hand signal, which is nice. Once upon a time, this crossing was on TN 265, though it appears that the State of Tennessee has truncated that highway back to TN 45.
