Went out railfanning on the CSX Chattanooga Subdivision near Nashville, TN today. Sadly, the line that most of the trains go onto had a curfew today, but I was still able to catch five trains. This was the first train, a southbound intermodal train with two AC44CWs leading an ES40DC.
This crossing is rather neat to see, as it has all 8 inch lights, is gateless, and has a pair of mechanical bells, despite the crossing being on a (normally) busy mainline! The crossing is also the closest you can get to a pure gateless early 1980s CSX install in this area, as only the bell on the right-hand signal is slightly newer.
This was also my first time seeing WCH 8 inch lights in action.
