Moulton Street Railroad Crossing, Decatur, AL

originally recorded on 7-1-21
Signal on the left: 3 pairs of Safetran 12x24 inch lights with WCH 2nd Generation LEDs, a Safetran gate mechanism, and RECO LED gate lights.
Signal on the right: 3 pairs of Safetran 12x24 inch lights with WCH 2nd Generation LEDs, a WCH mechanical bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, RECO LED gate lights, and an NEG LED gate light.
On July 1st, I had to take Ethan back up to his house near Nashville, so on the way up, we decided to stop and do a bit of railfanning. This was the first train we caught: a northbound CSX phosphate train with a CSX ET44AH leading a BNSF ES44DC and a CSX ES44AH on the head-end and a pair of CSX ES44AHs sandwiching a CSX AC44CW for the mid-DPUs. Given the length of the train and how many mid-DPUs there were, I have to wonder if this was actually two different phosphate trains stuck together.
As you can see, still no major changes to these classic L&N cantilever signals, thankfully.

Just out of curiosity here, were there 8 inch lights and 12×20 inch lights (because the L&N set their crossings up in that configuration) before these lights were here?

If I had to take a guess, most likely.
