This was the first railroad crossing I recorded on April 22, 2024. Originally, I was at college doing my classes. But after class, I decided to head to the Mainline Subdivision to make up what I couldn't get the other day on the S&NA North. While I have reached the sub, but originally, there was nothing coming, so I decided to just wait anyways. But eventually, the siding turned on for a southbound, but because I was in a rush, I decided I would get Fountain Head Road in action.
Crossing info:
Signal on the left: 4 - 12"x24" Safetran incandescents, a Safetran 2000s gate mechanism, RECO LED gatelights, and a General Signals Type 2 E-Bell.
Signal on the right: 4 - 12"x24" Safetran incandescents, a Safetran 2000s gate mechanism, and RECO LED gatelights

The link and page road names are incorrect, but I have plans at some point to fix that.
