Mike's Railroad Crossing Forum

*originally recorded on 8-2-19*

Signal on the left: 2 pairs of WCH 12x24 inch lights with Leotek EV Series LEDs, an NEG electronic bell, a Siemens gate mechanism, and NEG LED gate lights.
Signal on the right: 2 pairs of WCH 12x24 inch lights with Leotek EV Series LEDs, an NEG electronic bell, a Siemens gate mechanism, and NEG LED gate lights.

This was the last crossing I caught A724 at on August 2nd (I did catch him one more time in Dothan, but I didn't record any video). Unfortunately, the new crew wasn't scheduled to get on the train until 7 or 8 that evening, so I couldn't chase him any further despite him getting to Dothan in the early to mid afternoon, so I went and got lunch instead.

The signals here are some pretty modern CSX signals, having been installed sometime around 2015/2016, replacing a pair of crossbucks, it appears. A bit unusual for signals of this style though is how both bells are mounted on the tops of the masts, which CSX doesn't do too often on their new signals after 2012/2013, from my observations. Matches the rest of the crossings in Ashford though. This crossing is also the westernmost crossing in the city of Ashford.
