*originally recorded on 2-13-23*

Signal on the left: 2 pairs of WCH 12x24 inch lights with Leotek EV Series LEDs, a Siemens gate mechanism, and RECO LED gate lights.
Signal on the right: 2 pairs of WCH 12x24 inch lights with Leotek EV Series LEDs, an NEG electronic bell, a Siemens gate mechanism, RECO LED gate lights, and an NEG LED gate light.

On February 13th, I went down to the south end the CSX S&NA North Subdivision to see about getting the unrecorded crossings on that part of the line recorded. I went down to this crossing, where I saw a northbound mixed freight without a crew waiting to head north. As such, I decided to wait here, and, after a bit of waiting, the crew for the train arrived and, soon after, departed. Here we see this northbound mixed freight heading north just after leaving, with a pair of ET44AHs for power.
This train also had a rather friendly crew, who (as you can see in the video) threw me a frisbee as they passed.

This crossing is the next southernmost signalized crossing on the S&NA North, and is a fairly decent one. These signals appear to have been installed by CSX back in the mid-2010s, and are basically still fully original, outside of one of the gate lights having been replaced. Unusually, despite most modern CSX installs of this age down here being installed with two bells, this one only has one.
