12th Avenue Railroad Crossing, Decatur, AL with a Landing Helicopter!

Signal on the left: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x20 inch lights, a Safetran mechanical bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, and RECO gate lights.
Signal on the right: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x20 inch lights, a Safetran mechanical bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, and NEG gate lights.
Went out railfanning today, and caught 12 more trains today! This was the first train I caught today: NS 163 with a rather boring lash-up of an NS ES44DC leading an NS ES44AC. However, as the end of the train passed, a helicopter ended up landing near the crossing, and I zoom in on it near the end of the video. Also, it seems like the crew didn't bother to blow the horn for this crossing for some reason...

Great video and very nice catches! I love the mixed train loads like this one, and the Safetran m-bells. You could almost name the video Planes, Trains and Automobiles (and a guy on a bike) lol.
