*originally recorded on 2-25-22*

Signal on the left: 2 pairs of WCH 8 inch lights, a WCH mechanical bell, a WCH gate mechanism, and NEG LED gate lights.
Signal on the right: 4 pairs of WCH 8 inch lights, a WCH mechanical bell, a WCH gate mechanism, and RECO LED gate lights.

After catching Amtrak 90, I went to the other crossing in Salters for my third train of the day. After about a 45 minute wait, this southbound mixed freight came through with an ET44AH leading an ES44AH on the head-end, and a fresh-looking CM44AC working as the mid-train DPU.

This crossing is another pretty nice one, and like with the previous crossing, it's another late-70s WCH install from the SCL that's almost entirely original. However, unlike the previous crossing, there is an extra pair of side lights here, and the gate arms and gate lights are a bit more on the modern side, especially when it comes to CSX. Either way though, this is another great little crossing and I'm glad to have gotten it recorded. Just south of this crossing is the old Salters depot, which is still standing though hasn't been used in many years.
