Abandoned Railroad Crossing

*originally recorded on 3-6-22*

On March 6th, I decided to go out and document the abandoned crossing signals on what's left of the TAG in northern Georgia between Kensington, GA, and Chattanooga, TN. After the plant here in Kensington closed in August of 2008, the line was eventually reverted back to NS's ownership, who later partially removed the line.

Here's the photo I was talking about of when the crossing was still in service:

One thing I didn't notice before was that the front-left mast light on the cantilever at the time was missing the front half of it, likely why there's a WCH 8 inch light here now.

Also found this photo taken at the crossing, showing the wooden gate arm on the cantilever:

Based on that picture, they were still around in 2006, but had been replaced with standard aluminum arms by 2007, looking at Google Street View.
