*originally recorded on 8-2-19*
Signal on the left: 2 pairs of WCH 12x24 inch lights with Leotek EV Series LEDs, a WCH mechanical bell, a WCH gate mechanism, and RECO LED gate lights.
Signal on the right: 2 pairs of WCH 12x24 inch lights with Leotek EV Series LEDs, a WCH mechanical bell, a WCH gate mechanism, and RECO LED gate lights.
After catching A724 in Iron City, I chased him on over to this crossing in Donalsonville. At the siding on the west side of town, he met an A723 that had a pair of GEVOs (an ET44AH leading a newer ES44AH, to be exact). I would've used that A723 to get another crossing Donalsonville at the end of the siding that pretty much looked almost exactly like this one, but considering the lash-up A723 had vs. A724's lash-up, and the fact that it seemed like they were going to be waiting a few more minutes before leaving, I decided to just head-on and continue chasing A724.
Like Henderson Avenue, this crossing features a pair of WCH signals installed by the SCL that are still largely original. Of course, like most of the crossings in Donalsonville, the 8 inch lights here were replaced with the current WCH 12x24 inch lights earlier this year. These signals still do look nice though, so I don't mind it as much, though it is a bit disappointing that the 8 inch lights are gone. The bells here also sound pretty nice as well.
