After catching NS 320 just north of Russellville, I was able to successfully chase it to this crossing on the south side of Russellville. The signals here aren't the most interesting ones out there, being a *very* modern pair of NS signals that were installed sometime within the past couple years. However, just out of frame to the left is a pair of old Southern Railway intermediate signals from the 70s, which I had wanted to shoot a train passing through. I'm probably gonna have to return here for another video, though not a crossing shot next time.
Also a bit odd that NS chose this crossing to upgrade, as this is essentially a dead-end here, for what's probably about a dozen or so houses.
The engineer did give me a wave though, which was nice of him.
