This was the second railroad crossing I recorded on March 22, 2025. After recording Wakeman Road in White Bluff, I decided to try to beat it to Davidson Road in Nashville, as I had skepticism from the beginning that I wouldn't make it, but interestingly enough, I did make it! I set up, wait, and thus, the same intermodal that I saw in White Bluff, going through! This wasn't the last one for today, as I attempted to wait in downtown, but it turns out that there was going to be a westbound intermodal as well, so I came back to this area even though I just got this.
It is nice to see that this 8" install still exists, though I personally see this as being upgraded/replaced in a few years time, but will see what happens from here.
Crossing info:
Signal on the left: 4 - 8"x20" WRRS incandescents, a Safetran 2000s gate mechanism, and 4" RECO LED gatelights.
Signal on the right: 4 - 8"x20" WCHincandescents, a Safetran 2000s gate mechanism, 4" RECO LED gatelights, and an NEG E-Bell.
Location:
Davidson Road
Nashville, Tennessee
Locomotives:
CSX 5257 - ES40DC
CSX 7501 - CM44AH
Filmed March 22, 2025
