This was the second train I saw on July 23. Here, after the Northbound Autorack Train passed by, the southbound got ready to go, so I beated the southback at this crossing. According to Google Maps, this crossing used to have a pair of crossbucks, but because the fact that road traffic was increasing a bit, they decided to add crossings here. These signals here were installed in 2011. I believe the Safetran Type 3 E-Bell is dead on the left signal, based on how I heard it at the time I filmed this. But the other Safetran Type 3 Works. Crossing Info: Signal on the left: 2 Pairs of Safetran 12x24 Lights with WCH 2nd Gen. LEDs, a Safetran Gate Mechanism, RECO LED Gatelights, and a dead Safetran Type 3 E-Bell Signal on the right: 2 Pairs of Safetran 12x24 Lights with WCH 2nd Gen. LEDs, a Safetran Gate Mechanism, RECO LED Gatelights, and a working Safetran Type 3 E-Bell Location: North Swamp Road Near Portland, Tennessee Locomotives: CSX 3396 - ET44AH CSX 4753 - SD70MAC Filmed July 23, 2018 Camera used: iPhone 6S
