Mike's Railroad Crossing Forum

*originally recorded on 3-26-20*

Signal on the left: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x20 inch lights, a Safetran Type 3 electronic bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, and NEG gate lights.
Signal on the right: 3 pairs of Safetran 12x20 inch lights, a Safetran Type 3 electronic bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, and NEG gate lights.

After chasing A84 out of Talladega, and catching him by the Kymulga Grist Mill Park just east of Childersburg, I rushed on over to this crossing to catch him again. Here we see A84 as it slows down so I can stop and work one of NS's two interchanges with the RJ Corman Childersburg Line.

This crossing ain't anything too special either, but it's still a pretty nice one. The signals were installed in the late-2000s, more than likely replacing a pair of crossbucks. Since then, no changes have occured to this crossing, outside of new ENS signs and both gate arms having been replaced at one point. Forest Hills Drive also splits in two just behind this crossing to intersect AL 76, leading to the right-hand signal requiring a pair of side lights aimed just slightly off from the main lights.
