*originally recorded on 5-11-24*

Signal on the left: 4 pairs of Safetran 12x24 inch lights with Dialight Ball LEDs, a General Signals Type 3 electronic bell, a Siemens gate mechanism, and NEG LED gate lights.
Signal on the right: 3 pairs of Safetran 12x24 inch lights with Dialight Ball LEDs, a General Signals Type 2 electronic bell, a Siemens gate mechanism, and NEG LED gate lights.

After catching the grain(?) train, we continued over to Beaverton, where we saw there appeared to be a meet lined at the siding there. As such, we continued west to this crossing in Sulligent, where, after a little bit of waiting, this southbound loaded coal train came through with a BNSF ES44DC leading a CSX ES44AH on the head-end, and a BNSF Dash-9 working as the DPU. I think this is the first time I've seen foreign power on one of these coal trains.

This crossing is a decent one, if rather modern. The signals here were installed in either 2014 or 2015, and replaced a pair of crossbucks. Sometime between 2019 and 2021, the bell on the far signal was replaced with the current GS Type 3. Since then, however, no further major changes appear to have occurred here, thankfully.
These signals, despite being fairly modern, do look quite nice to me, NGL, so I'm glad I was finally able to record them.
