This was the only train I saw on November 18, that day, when my dad had to play a gig on the 17th, We went over to Middletown Ohio for a few hours to see if I could catch any trains, but turns out when I got to Middletown, Wildwood Road retained no changes, but I wanted to record Manchester Road in action because it has 8 inch lights on the overhead! Something that is a rare find! Even rarer, the overhead lights are Federal Signal 8 inch lights! Something that is very hard to find, especially for NS lines! But then once the train passed, I went over to document the remaining crossings, and then I left for home. Also, the horn on NS 2749 sounds pretty bad, in my opinion. Crossing Info: Signal on the left: 2 Pairs of Harmon 8 inch lights, 2 Pairs of Federal Signal 8 inch lights, a Safetran Gate Mechanism, and NEG Incandescent gatelights. Signal on the right: 2 Pairs of Harmon 8 inch lights, 2 Pairs of Federal Signal 8 inch lights, a Safetran Gate Mechanism, and RECO incandescent gatelights.
