This was the first railroad crossing I recorded (in storage, I had a video of a SOFR crossing in Savannah, GA recorded that morning, but lost it and I never recovered it, so this would be the first crossing in storage) that I recorded on December 12, 2023. At that time, I was down at the CSX Nahunta Subdivision going to continue photographing the line all the way until it splits into different lines at Callahan. While everything went good at first, I then noticed a southbound coming down, so I decided to set-up here at this neat crossing install, with a pair of older GS E-Bells! While one is confirmed to be a Type 1, I would hate to be on the bad side that the other is dead...
