This was the first railroad crossing I recorded on March 1, 2026. That day, I made my way back to the CN Fulton Subdivision once again, and this time I decided to record this particular crossing, because this crossing has a pair of WCH E-Bells, and I thought why not just record it? I haven't recorded WCH E-Bells in a long while, and it turns out, by the time I got to this crossing, there was a southbound on the way, and thus, makes it the first crossing, after getting very lucky! And luck was actually on my side for the entire trip, later on!
