Wauhatchie Pike Railroad Crossing #3, Wauhatchie, TN

originally recorded on 1-24-25
Signal on the left: 4 pairs of Safetran 12x24 inch lights.
Signal on the right: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x24 inch lights and a Safetran mechanical bell.
After catching G438 racing 42Z at Wauhatchie Pike #2, I went down to this crossing for my next train, as I heard that the latter was to meet a 12T at Valley Head. After a while of waiting, I was able to catch my fourth train of the day here: NS 12T with a lone, long-hood forwards AC44C6M for power!
Since I last recorded this crossing, NS replaced the signal on the far side of the crossing, though this time they reused a signal here rather than installing a brand new one. The replacement signal on the far side came from Burn Road in Niota, TN, up on the NS Knoxville West End District, and it appears it was originally installed by NS there in the early to mid-90s. Thankfully, the closer signal here has remained untouched since my last video of this crossing, and very much thankfully still retains its Safetran mechanical bell! It doesn't sound too much worse than my last recording here a couple of years ago, so hopefully it continues to last here for a good while longer.
