Mike's Railroad Crossing Forum

*originally recorded on 6-30-20*

Signal on the left: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x24 inch lights, 2 pairs of WCH 12x20 inch lights, a WCH mechanical bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, and RECO LED gate lights.
Signal on the right: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x24 inch lights, a Safetran gate mechanism, and RECO LED gate lights.

After L781 came through Lyons, we chased him over here to downtown Vidalia as he stopped to do some switching in the small yard here before continuing on, which we see it doing in this video.

This crossing is another nice one, featuring what appears to be a pair of Safetran signals installed by the GC in the early 90s, with all Safetran equipment (including having three pairs of lights on the closer signal). However, sometime between 2008 and 2014, the side lights and bell on the far signal were replaced with WCH equipment, while one of the pairs of lights on the closer signal were removed entirely around the same time. Since then, no major changes appear to have occurred here.
This crossing also originally had three tracks at it, though the pair of tracks on the far side of the crossing had been abandoned for a long time. The abandoned rails were finally removed in about 2016 or so though.
