Holmes Avenue Railroad Crossing #2, Huntsville, AL

*originally recorded on 5-4-22*

Signal on the left: 3.5 pairs of Federal Signal 8 inch lights with WCH 1st Gen LEDs and 1 Federal Signal 8 inch light with a WCH 2nd Gen LED.
Signal on the right: 2.5 pairs of Federal Signal 8 inch lights with WCH 1st Gen LEDs, a WRRS 8 inch light with a WCH 1st Gen LED, and a Federal Signal mechanical bell.

This was the sixth and final crossing I caught the HMCR at. Here we see the Dash-8s (or, at least in this video, HMCR 8539) pull into the crossing before shoving back into the yard after dropping off their train here, and finishing-up their day.
The train heard in the background was NS 22N with an SD70ACe leading, which came through just before the HMCR made their final switching move of the day. This train can be seen in the previous video I uploaded.

Thankfully, like with all the others, still no major changes have occurred to this crossing since I last recorded it. Unfortunately, like with Bob Wallace Avenue, the city bus seen here almost ruined my shot here as well. Thankfully for me (at least), the driver saw the train starting to move and decided to run the red light here, so my shot wasn't blocked when the crossing activated.
