After catching the Music City Star, I drove around a bit and then over to this crossing, where I saw a B40-8 doing some switching in the yard. As I pulled up to the crossing though, I saw he was heading towards it, so I quickly got my camera set-up and started recording just in time to catch this engine running lite heading east to go pick-up some empty gravel cars just east of here.

This crossing was installed in the early 2000s, along with several other crossings along the NERR mainline. As far as I can tell, no changes have been made to these signals outside of the gate lights. This crossing also has the gate masts located in front of the cantilevers, interestingly enough.
