CR 255, Oldham, MS

[freebrickproductions]

*originally recorded on 6-24-23*

Signal on the left: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x20 inch lights, a Safetran gate mechanism, NEG LED gate lights, and a RECO LED gate light.
Signal on the right: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x20 inch lights, a General Signals Type 2 electronic bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, and RECO LED gate lights.

After catching NS 17A in Margerum, I decided to head back east towards Cherokee to record more crossings around there, only to hear a rapidly approaching NS 289. As such, I quickly turned around and raced back over to this crossing in Oldham, MS. Thankfully, I was able to get set-up here with a good amount of time to spare, and get my fifth train of the day: NS 289 with a pair of AC44C6Ms for power.

This crossing's another decent one, featuring a 2000s NS install that's still almost entirely original. It seems sometime within the past few years, NS gave all of the gate lights here an LED upgrade, having replaced the gate arms and ENS signage at some point prior, but no other major changes appear to have occurred here since then. Glad to have finally gotten this crossing filmed as well, though.
