Signal on the left: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x24 inch lights with WCH 2nd Generation LEDs, a General Signals Type 1 electronic bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, and NEG LED gate lights.
Signal on the right: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x24 inch lights with WCH 2nd Generation LEDs, an NEG electronic bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, and NEG LED gate lights.
I'd seen that CSX had a southbound lined through Decatur, so when I got down to this crossing in Hartselle, I set on up and waited for it. After a little bit of waiting, this southbound phosphate train came through with a pair of ES44AHs for power. After this, I went back home, as I'd gotten what I needed on this short excursion out.
As you can see, since I last filmed this crossing, one of the GS Type 1s that had been here has sadly since been replaced with an NEG e-bell, I suspect due to the bell dying. I believe this happened earlier this year, as I don't recall the bell here being replaced when I went over to Hartselle on New Years Eve, but when I came back to Hartselle on the evening of March 24th, it had already been replaced.
Either way, I'm glad to see the GS Type 1 on the far signal is still here. Hopefully that's able to remain here for many more years to come.
