This was the second train, and first of two railroad crossings I recorded on December 7, 2023. After checking for more changes along the Henderson Subdivision, I eventually got to Casky Lane just outside of Hopkinsville, and as soon as I approached, I was able to get a CSX southbound intermodal/autorack mix through, with the Spirit of Grafton locomotive trailing! I would eventually see that locomotive leading down in Florida within a few days time of getting this.
Also, many changes have occured throughout this crossing, including a new signal on the right side, and the LED upgrade for other signal.
Crossing info:
Signal on the left: 4 - 12"x24" Safetran w/ Leotek EV series LEDs, a Safetran 2000s gate mechanism, NEG LED gatelights, and a Safetran Type 3 E-Bell
Signal on the right: 6 - 12"x24" WCH Flatback w/ Leotek EV series LEDs, a Siemens Imprinted gate mechanism, and NEG LED gatelights.
Location:
Casky Lane
Hopkinsville, Kentucky
Locomotives:
CSX 740 - ES44AH
CSX 500 - AC4400CW Spirit of Grafton
CSX 3465 - ET44AH (Mid DPU)
