  • Signal on the left: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x24 inch lights, a General Signals Type-2 e-bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, and RECO gate lights.
    Signal on the Right: 1 pair of Safetran 12x24 inch lights, 1 pair of Safetran 12x20 inch lights, a Safetran gate mechanism, and RECO gate lights.
    George Wallace Boulevard Signal: 1 pair of Safetran 12x20 inch lights, a Safetran Type-3 e-bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, and RECO gate lights.
    These trains were my fourth and fifth catches of the day. The first train was NS 17A, which had a pair of SD60Es pulling him. The second train to cross, which is shortly after the first, was NS 16Z with a UP SD70ACe leading a pair of NS Dash-9s. Had 16Z been a bit quicker, I could've caught them meeting on camera, but it was still pretty neat to see.
    This crossing is actually on the border between Muscle Shoals and Sheffield.

    I love the Safetran Type 3 electronic bell and General Signals Type 2 electronic bell combo and I love how the Norfolk Southern and Union Pacific trains have loud K5LA and K5LLA horns.

      +Clay Crafton Thanks! This is probably one of the most interesting crossings in Muscle Shoals, mostly due to the equipment and the set-up.

    Interesting set up including that bell combo with the GS Type 2 and Safetran type 3
    If i had a genie lamp, i would ask for signals like these. But no, cause they are fictional.
    Also strange to notice one half of the middle signal has Safetran 12X20 inch lights on the left, and 12X24 inch lights on the right.

    • @freebrickproductions
      @freebrickproductions  7 років тому +1

      I believe the signal with both light sizes got clipped by a car.

    I just caught a CSX train at this crossing, is it rare that CSX would be on Memphis District?

    • @freebrickproductions
      @freebrickproductions  6 років тому +1

      Kinda. CSX power occasionally runs on NS trains, but it isn't a common catch.

      @rayfalt that’s called forcing power.

    There upgrading the crossing to overhead lights!

    • @freebrickproductions
      @freebrickproductions  7 років тому

      Can't say I'm that surprised, since they're widening the road and these signals would've been in the way. RIP older Safetran 12x24s though.
