Mike's Railroad Crossing Forum

*originally recorded on 9-7-23*

Signal on the left: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x20 inch lights, a US&S Model 95 gate mechanism, and NEG LED gate lights.
Signal on the right: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x20 inch lights, a General Signals Type 1 electronic bell, a US&S Model 95 gate mechanism, and NEG LED gate lights.

After catching the local freight for a second time in Plantersville, I went back down to Nettleton to record a crossing I hadn't gotten there the week prior. As I got here, I found that the local freight had literally just met a northbound ethanol train, which was about to depart. Thankfully, I was just able to get my camera set-up in time and catch this northbound ethanol train with an H2 Dash-9 leading an H3 ET44C4 for power!

This crossing is another nice one, featuring another late-90s BNSF install that's still pretty much fully original! Definitely glad to see there's still a few of these not too far from me, hopefully BNSF keeps them around and largely unchanged for many more years to come.
On the closer signal, the front-right light also has a chipped background on it. I imagine BNSF will replace that damaged background at some point.
