26th Street Railroad Crossing, Gadsden, AL

originally recorded on 4-16-24
Signal on the left: 2 pairs of Modern Industries 12x20 inch lights and 2 pairs of Modern Industries 12x24 inch lights.
Signal on the right: 2 pairs of Modern industries 12x20 inch lights, 2 pairs of Modern Industries 12x24 inch lights, and a Modern Industries mechanical bell.
After catching Y102 at 7th Street #2, I attempted to chase them west across Gadsden, going for either the street-running, 9th Street #1 crossing, or Franklin Street crossing, but was unable to beat them there in time. However, I was able to beat them to this crossing, so I went here and set-up. Here we see ATN Y102 at the final crossing I caught them at, with the engineer giving a horn salute as he passed.
Thankfully, these old MI cantilever signals have remained unchanged since I last recorded them. The MI bell sounds like it might be starting to get a bit rough though, especially towards the end of the train.
