Signal on the right: 1.5 pairs of Safetran 12x20 inch lights with WCH 2nd Generation LEDs, 1 Safetran 12x20 inch light with a Leotek EV Series LED, a dead Safetran mechanical bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, and RECO gate lights.
After catching the first five trains at Decatur, I decided to reposition my camera to record the crossing for the next train. The next (which ended up being my last train) train, which was CSX M648, went through about 30 minutes later. After it cleared, we stayed for a couple of more minutes, and then went back home.
Nothing much has really changed since ‪@freebrickproductions‬ last recorded this crossing; unfortunately, though, the Safetran bell is pretty much dead again. Hopefully NS may give it another tune-up, but I wouldn't really be surprised if it gets replaced with an e-bell in the near future.
