185th Street Railroad Crossing, Starke, FL

This was the only railroad crossing I recorded on March 2, 2024. That day, I was down in Florida during my spring break from college. I decided to spend 5 full days down in Florida doing crossing photography. This would be Day 1, where I would first start at the FNOR before eventually reaching the CSX Wildwood Subdivision at Starke. Initally, I didn't see any action from anything on the FNOR or CSX Deerhaven or Brooker Subdivisions. But when I got to the Wildwood Subdivision, I saw a green light for a southbound, but I decided to just continue for now, until I got to 185th Street. I saw something within distance, and the crossing activated, and I got it moving forward! Strangely enough, this is the second CSX crossing I have seen so far with a GS Type 3, though I have been known that CSX has installed a handful of these on this line, which kinda surprised me a bit.

Nice catch a GS type 3 is unusual to see on a CSX crossing

Great video and crossing! Love those older SCL signals, especially that WABCO gate mech!
