*originally recorded on 10-1-25*
Signal on the left: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x24 inch lights, a US&S Model 95 gate mechanism, NEG LED gate lights, and a RECO LED gate light.
Signal on the right: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x24 inch lights, a General Signals Type 2 electronic bell, a US&S Model 95 gate mechanism, and RECO LED gate lights.
After catching the mixed freight in Holly Springs, I decided to chase it over to this crossing in the nearby community of Victoria to film it again. Thankfully, I was able to beat it here with a good few minutes to spare, despite me missing the turn and having to loop back over here. Here we see the northbound mixed freight for the second time on this day, flying through Victoria this time.
This crossing is another pretty decent one, featuring an early-2000s BNSF that's still pretty much entirely original. Obviously, the gate arms and gate lights have all been replaced over the years. The far signal's also had its gate mech replaced at some point with a newer US&S Model 95, interestingly enough, though it doesn't really change the crossing too much, IMHO. I will say, I do always enjoy filming the late-90s/early-2000s BNSF installs, they look pretty nice IMHO.
