This was the sixth railroad crossing I recorded on March 1, 2026. After recording John White Road near Ripley, I decided to follow it southwards to the next crossing, which was Southall Avenue near Covington. But then, I figured out there was another northbound sitting at the same siding, so I wasn’t sure which will go through, but it turns out a high-priority intermodal northbound was on the way, but this was the way it is.
Crossing info:
Signal on the left: 4 - 8"x20" Safetran w/ Safetran Fading LEDs, a Safetran Late 1970s gate mechanism, 4" RECO LED gatelights, and a General Signals Type 3 E-Bell.
Signal on the right: 4 - 8"x20" Safetran w/ Safetran Fading LEDs, a Safetran Late 1970s gate mechanism, and 4" RECO LED gatelights
Location:
Southall Road
Covington, Tennessee
