After I caught M410, I went on up to this crossing, where I happened to find a signal maintainer doing his monthly check of the crossing. As such, I quickly got set-up and started recording, and was able to record this crossing being tested a few times. I cut-out a couple of minutes between the first two activations so y'all don't have to wait super long.

This crossing is another nice one, featuring a 1980s CSX install that's still largely original. The only major change here occurred sometime between 2016 and 2018, when CSX upgraded this crossing to LED. Thankfully, since then, nothing major has changed on this crossing, so it still retains its original WCH equipment, including the gate mechs and bells. Hopefully this crossing remains largely unchanged for many more years to come, but, either way, I'm glad I was able to get this crossing recorded, even if it was just for some tests.
