Price Street Railroad Crossing, Savannah, GA

originally recorded on 7-28-21
Signal on the left: 1 pair of RACO 8 inch lights, 1.5 pairs of RACO 12x20 inch lights (all with blown bulbs), 1 RACO 12x24 inch light, a RACO mechanical bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, and RECO LED gate lights.
Signal on the right: 1 pair of RACO 8 inch lights, 2 pairs of RACO 12x20 inch lights, a RACO mechanical bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, and Progress Rail(?) LED gate lights.
On July 28th, I got up to go shoot the SOFR's morning run, though sadly I'd gotten up too late to film the trip south. As such, I set-up here and waited. And waited. Thinking I must've missed them, I went off to another crossing Ethan and I had forgotten to document back at the end of June. After I got that documented, I decided to go back through here to see if I could spot them, and sure enough they were approaching! Thankfully, I was able to get set-up in plenty of time, and here we see them returning back to the harbor with their GP40-2LW pair for power. Sadly, this wound-up being the only train I filmed on this day as well, as the SOFR's second run on this day apparently didn't happen until the middle of the night.
This crossing is still an excellent one though, and I'm quite glad I was able to get it filmed first on this trip. The signals here were installed by the SCL back in the early 1970s, quite possibly back in 1971 not long after Safetran was created, and have barely changed since. In fact, it appears the only notable change was that one of the overhead lights on the left-hand signal got its original 20 inch background replaced with a 24 inch one at some point, along with the gate arms and gate lights also being replaced over the years.
The signals here are definitely in need of some maintenance though, as almost half of the lights on this crossing are out. In fact, only two lights on the left-hand signal work: the left-hand mast light and the 12x24 inch light on the rear overhead! The gate arm over the bike lane is also bent, so that probably needs to be replaced. Both RACO mechanical bells here still sound beautiful, so I'm glad to see that.
Interestingly enough, the Harmon cantilever on the right seems to be an extendable variant, though the arm is probably set to be shorter than it was designed for. All in all, this is quite a great crossing and I'm glad to have been able to get it recorded.
