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: 3 pairs of WCH 12x24 inch lights with Leotek EV Series LEDs, an NEG electronic bell, a Siemens gate mechanism, and NEG LED gate lights.
After catching X524, I continued up to this crossing to see about getting Q514 here. However, instead, this short southbound intermodal wound-up coming through first with an ET44AH leading an ES40DC, both in YN3b. Nothing too special, but hey, it let me record another crossing.
This crossing is a pretty decent one, featuring a pair of modern CSX signals from about 2015 or 2016 or so, if I had to guess. Nothing major appears to have changed at them since they were installed, and I don't really have too much else to say about them, TBH. The NEGs here have physically aged quite dramatically over the past four years though.
It is a nice quiet little spot though, and it was nice being able to wait in the shade of a tree. This crossing also has signage around it warning that trucks with trailers have a risk of grounding on it.
