    After recording the siren test, I went out and caught NS 163 heading to Sheffield with a monster ARFP/Safe Playing 7 engine lash-up of a cab-signalless NS Dash-9 leading an NS SD60E, NS SD60M, NS Dash-9, UP SD70ACe, and two more NS Dash-9s. Haven't seen a lash-up like this in a while, so it was quite a nice surprise!
    I had heard that Greenbrier Parkway was now open, so I can out here to see if it was or not. Well, y'all can see which answer is true! So yea, the newest crossing along the NS Memphis District East End is finally open! It's been a fun experience watching the crossing get built, and I must say that the end result looks rather nice. The road itself isn't too busy due to being a more out of the way route to get to anything along Old Highway 20 or Greenbrier Road, but once the road gets completed, businesses build up along this road, and/or Old Highway 20 has the damaged bridge along it replaced, it'll probably get busier. The road is a nice drive though.
    Also, according to the recently posted FRA Inventory Report (filed September 26, 2017), the crossing is at MP A355.05, the NS Memphis District East End gets 23 trains a day, and the crossing is listed as being located "near Mooresville" (which, it kinda is) despite being within Huntsville's city limits. If you want to confirm this for yourself, just go to the FRA's website (listed below) and put in the DOT # of 960236R.

    You seem to know exactly when a train lashup falls into multiple categories, usually when I see one it's a combination of B&A and Foreign RFP since that only requires 3 engines (on NS that would be 1 foreign engine and 2 Dash 9s or similar)

      I've noticed that I tend to like statistics and categorizing things, which might be why I've been able to pinpoint down when lash-ups fall into multiple categories.

    Are you going to make a video called: (Opened!) 10-?-17 Greenbrier Parkway Railroad Crossing Update, Huntsville, AL?

    • @freebrickproductions

      I was, but I decided that it'd be pointless since this was recorded.

    Funny how NS uses older Safetran 12x20 inch frames for there new installs.

    Why is the road so quiet?

    • @freebrickproductions
      @freebrickproductions  6 років тому

      Not much along it yet, combined with the fact that it's basically just a longer way to get to Old Highway 20 and points north (or I-565 and points south) for the most part currently.

    Why do the gates make all that sound at the end?

    • @freebrickproductions
      @freebrickproductions  5 місяців тому

      They're S-60s, and that's the sound they tend to make when they fully raise for some reason.

  • @cristopherlove3865
    @cristopherlove3865 3 роки тому

    This is fairly new! Why now are they permanently closing it?

    • @freebrickproductions
      @freebrickproductions  3 роки тому +1

      It was replaced with an overpass, which has since opened.
      Greenbrier *Road* is the one that closes in a few days.

  • @George_M55729
    @George_M55729 6 років тому

    1) so its opened then.2) the gap between the gates is horrendous.

    Why did they blow their horn at a quiet zone

    • @freebrickproductions
      @freebrickproductions  6 років тому +1

      +Science Guy Because it isn't a quiet zone.

    • @scienceguy722
      @scienceguy722 6 років тому

      Do most quiet zones occur when there is a median

    • @freebrickproductions
      @freebrickproductions  6 років тому +1

      +Science Guy Not really, but a median cab be used in a quiet zone.

    • @JoshsTrainVideos
      @JoshsTrainVideos 6 років тому +1

      The road having a median has nothing to do with if it's a quiet zone or not. It's determined by the city the crossing is located in.

    Hey FreeBrickProductions i gotta tell you something

    • @VancityElevators
      @VancityElevators 6 років тому

      I guess you want everyone to know what he will say since this is a public comment.

    • @VancityElevators
      @VancityElevators 6 років тому

      I also assume that you don't want people to read what will you say by using a different video. I hope that you are able to avoid criticism by placing the comment elsewhere.
