CR 51 Railroad Crossing, Westover, AL

originally recorded on 5-5-24
Signal on the left: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x24 inch lights.
Signal on the right: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x24 inch lights.
After catching B795, I continued on west over to this crossing in Westover. After a few hours of waiting here, I was able to get my third, and best, catch of the day: CSX I829 with the L&N Heritage Unit (CSX 1850, an ES44AH) leading a YN2 AC44CW for power! Definitely nice to get another CSX heritage unit leading, though I will admit I was not expecting this one at all!
As you can see, since I last recorded this crossing, nothing much has thankfully changed to these signals yet. Unfortunately, as you can probably tell by the new foundations here, CSX is in the process of replacing the bell-less, gateless signals here with some new gated ones. It'll be a shame to see these older signals go, especially since I believe the closer signal here is the last ACL signal on the entire Lineville Sub. Either way, I'm glad I've been able to get a good few videos of this crossing while it still had these older gateless signals.

What happened to the bells??? Kind of dangerous.

This crossing never had any bells to begin with, the ACL typically did not install bells on their gateless crossings from my observations.
