*originally recorded on 3-14-25*

Signal on the left: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x20 inch lights, a General Signals Type 2 electronic bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, and NEG LED gate lights.
Signal on the right: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x20 inch lights, a General Signals Type 3 electronic bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, NEG LED gate lights, and a RECO LED gate light.

While waiting on Amtrak 20, I heard that 394 would be following Amtrak east. As such, after I caught Amtrak 20, I made my way over to this crossing to see if 394 or 29S would come next. After a bit of waiting, I managed to get my seventh, and final, train of the day: NS 394 flying through Lincoln with a pair of SD70ACes for power! Definitely a decent train to end off the day with.
You can also hear the defect detector just west of this crossing reading-out for the train after it passes.

This crossing is another decent one, featuring another 2000s NS install that's still largely original. Sometime between 2015 and 2020, NS replaced the General Signals e-bell on the closest signal with the current GS Type 3 e-bell. The gate lights were upgraded to LED at some point within the past five years as well. Thankfully, nothing else has changed to this crossing and it still retains its incandescent lights, which is nice to see.
