Signal on the left: 3 pairs of Harmon 12x24 inch lights.
Signal on the right: 4 pairs of Modern Industries 12x24 inch lights.
Morrow Street signal: 1 pair of WCH 12x20 inch lights and a General Signals Type 3 electronic bell.

This train wound up being the only train I caught on March 8th, along with being the only video of a train of mine from March 8th as this train sat in Guntersville until about when the sun set so I couldn't chase them back south to Gadsden. However, they did have the pair of NKCR GP50s pulling this train with both of them elephant style. The leader also had a really nice RS3L as well!

This crossing is a bit of an interesting one. First off, it's the northernmost signalized crossing on the ATN, as well as being the only signalized crossing in Guntersville. It's also one of only 6 gateless crossings on this part of the ATN. The signal on the right is an old Modern Industries cantilever, which I think dates back to the Seaboard System as the data plate on the back of it says "SSR" for the customer. The far signal is a Harmon cantilever installed by CSX in the early 2000s, likely as a replacement for another Modern Industries cantilever like the one on the right. The Morrow Street signal also used to be some kind of 8 inch signal with a mechanical bell, but the signal got replaced with the current signal sometime between 2008 and 2013, though the signal at the time had an older General Signals e-bell (likely a Type 2), though the ATN has more recently replaced it with the General Signals Type 3 e-bell heard here. The Morrow Street signal also uses a 5 inch mast, oddly enough.
