(ASC E-bells!) 7th Avenue & Fogg Street Railroad Crossing, Nashville, TN

7th Avenue signal on the left: 1.5 pairs of Modern Industries 12x20 inch lights, a Harmon 12x20 inch light, a General Signals Type 2 electronic bell(?), a Safetran gate mechanism, and RECO LED gate lights.
7th Avenue signal on the right: 2 pairs of WCH 12x24 inch lights, an ASC electronic bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, and RECO LED gate lights.
Fogg Street signal on the left: 2 pairs of Federal Signal 12x20 inch lights, an ASC electronic bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, and RECO LED gate lights.
Fogg Street signal on the right: 2 pairs of Modern Industries 12x20 inch lights, a WRRS mechanical bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, and RECO LED gate lights.
These were the fifth and sixth trains I caught today. The fifth train was my favorite catch of the day: a southbound mixed freight with CSX's first AC6000 leading, CSX 600! The trailing engines were an ES40DC, a road slug, and a GP40-2. The sixth train was just an ES40DC running lite across the crossing.
This was my first time hearing an ASC e-bell in person! Not sure if the General Signals e-bell is a Type-1 or a Type-2 as I can barely hear it.
Also, a word of warning, this crossing is apparently in a really bad area.

Man it is a shame this crossing was closed!

[@freebrickproductions]

Definitely.

[@xxxman360]

Superb video David! I love the ASC Electronic bells, the WRRS mechanical bell, and the long horn blow at 0:38!

[@freebrickproductions]

Thanks! It's a shame this crossing no longer exists.

[@HVACSirenTowerTrainFanFan2012]

Great find with the ASC e bells! But sadly this crossing closed :(😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@Ferromexfan4081]

It’s always the good ones that go 😭

[@freebrickproductions]

Thanks! And yea, it's a shame.

[@RailfanNS]

Amazing Catch and Crossing!

[@freebrickproductions]

Thanks!

[@EthantheRailfanner]

Awesome! I saw that AC6000CW numbered 600 too!

[@freebrickproductions]

Thanks!

[@kyleb06]

601 was one of three "Diversity in Motion" AC6000CWs, along with 5000 and 5001. Both are now in storage.

[@ACs_Trains]

It's a shame the crossing got closed.

[@MobileRailSpotterRxR]

Great Catch! Nice find with the ASC E-Bells. I wonder why do some have their own sound and some sound like GS type 1s.

[@freebrickproductions]

Thanks! I haven't noticed any differences in sound between different models of ASC e-bell.

[@MobileRailSpotterRxR]

freebrickproductions ASC Electronic Bells normally have a deeper tone then GS Type 1. All the ASC E-Bells in my area have the deeper tone. But it seems like the ones UPRR and CSX own emit the GS Type 1 sound.
Edit: Forgot to mention San Diego MTA light rail also has them and they have a deeper tone also then GS Type 1.

[@mainlineproductions513]

And nice catch of that CSX engine following that train at 6:50. I would like to see something like that.

[@freebrickproductions]

Thanks!

[@NOVA_Railfanner192]

Main Line Productions true I have not seen that

[@MtrayPlays]

Is this before they closed ir

[@mariareid7871]

The auto rack train was on track 2 the other locomotive was on track 1

[@MtrayPlays]

THE ROAD IS CLOSED WOW

[@MrBnsftrain]

0:52 nice catch if an AC6000CW! (I think most are 4460 horsepower now!)

[@freebrickproductions]

All of CSX's are 4600HP now, IIRC. UP's have always been 4400HP, but could've been upgraded to 6000 HP if they so desired.

[@kyleb06]

Great catches! RIP these signals, quite a diversity of bells (and all the equipment, really) here. Where is the closest ASC e-bell to you now? AFAIK, for me it's the ones in Glen Ellyn, IL, and the ones in the next town over, Wheaton, IL, which are both a good three hours away from me.

[@freebrickproductions]

Thanks! No idea, TBH.

[@Terence_317]

Lol the suv almost tried beat the gate lol decided to turn around go different route lmao nice video

[@freebrickproductions]

Thanks!

[@tracycochran9118]

That crossing is long gone.

[@tracycochran9118]

Because it was not safe.

[@freebrickproductions]

I'm aware.

[@PowerLinesBoi]

the ASC bells sounds like a GS TYPE 2 E-bell

[@freebrickproductions]

They sound more like GS Type 1s to me.

[@NOVA_Railfanner192]

freebrickproductions yea they do sound like general signals type 1

[@TPNWR10]

There is a power move at 7:00

[@freebrickproductions]

I'm aware. I even mentioned it in the description.

[@linysirenfirebuff4786]

LUCKY!!!!

[@freebrickproductions]

Thanks! How so?

[@kyleb06]

I'd say because of the ASC e-bells, CSX 600, and that light engine following the auto rack.

[@Hawaiianfangamer2020]

freebrickproductions when did this crossing close

[@freebrickproductions]

A few years back now, I want to say.

[@mainlineproductions513]

Awesome video. What do you mean by a bad area. Crime or a lot of cops who hate railfans here? Just wondering...

[@freebrickproductions]

Crime, mostly.

[@mainlineproductions513]

***** oh ok.

[@chetrakeo319]

Wait where area

[@MtrayPlays]

Rip
