*originally recorded on 8-5-20*
Signal on the left: 3 pairs of Safetran 12x20 inch lights, a General Signals Type 1 electronic bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, and RECO gate lights.
Signal on the right: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x20 inch lights, a General Signals Type 1 electronic bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, and NEG gate lights.
After catching 329 in Jasper, I was able to successfully chase it up to this crossing just north of town. Thankfully, there was just barely enough light to get a decent video in, though, unless 320 or 329 starts running earlier in the day, I probably won't be able to get a better one until next summer.
There crossing itself is also pretty nice, featuring yet another late-90s NS install. However, unlike the other late-90s NS installs I recorded on this day, this one still features both of its original GS Type 1 e-bells, and they both sound great! It seems like there may be a good few more GS Type 1s along this line, so I'll have to see about returning to the NA District at sometime in the near-ish future.
