*originally recorded on 12-5-23*

Signal on the left: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x24 inch lights, a Safetran gate mechanism, and RECO LED gate lights.
Signal on the right: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x24 inch lights, a WCH mechanical bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, NEG LED gate lights, and a RECO gate light.

After I caught M574 in Bowling Green, I decided to chase I141 south for another crossing as they were about to leave. I decided to chase the train on down to this crossing, where I was thankfully able to beat them with a good few minutes to spare. After a bit of waiting, CSX I141 came through with an ES44AH leading an AC44CW for power.

This crossing is another great one, and is also one that has pretty much remained unchanged since it was installed. Unlike the previous crossing though, this one is a mid-90s CSX install that's still fully original, which I'm always glad to film as well, admittedly, especially since these are slowly getting upgrades (and no longer making them as original as a result). The WCH mechanical bell here still sounds rather healthy as well, which is nice to see, hopefully it remains around for a good while longer. The closer signal also rather nicely retains an incandescent RECO gate light on it.
