Mike's Railroad Crossing Forum

*originally recorded on 9-7-23*

Signal on the left: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x24 inch lights, a US&S Model 95 gate mechanism, and RECO LED gate lights.
Signal on the right: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x24 inch lights, a General Signals Type 3 electronic bell, a US&S Model 95 gate mechanism, and RECO LED gate lights.

After catching the northbound intermodal train, I went on over to this crossing for what would wind-up being my sixth and last train of the day. Here, after about an hour and a half of waiting, I was able to catch this northbound empty coal train, which had a pair of SD70ACes pulling on the head-end and another pair of SD70ACes and an ES44AC working as the train's DPUs. The GEVO on this train was BNSF 6000, which was kinda neat to see.
After this, I went over to Athens-Quincy Road to try and wait on one more train, but, as it was starting to get late after about an hour of waiting and nothing else seemed to be close, I decided to go on over to Sulligent, AL, for some supper and head on home for the evening.

Like with the last two crossings I filmed, this crossing is another nice one, featuring another fairly-original early-2000s BNSF install. Like with Kate Mae Road, it appears that the original GS Type 2 e-bell here was replaced sometime after 2015 with the current GS Type 3, but no other major changes have occurred to these signals.
