Foster Road Railroad Crossing, Rogers Springs, TN

*originally recorded on 3-18-26* Signal on the left: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x20 inch lights, a Safetran gate mechanism, and NEG LED gate lights. Signal on the right: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x20 inch lights, a Safetran Type 3 electronic bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, and RECO gate lights. After catching 287, @vtgrxrman and I hopped back over to this crossing in Rogers Springs for the eastbound train waiting at Saulsbury. After a bit of waiting here, we were able to catch our sixth train of the day: a very short eastbound NS mixed freight flying past with a pair of AC44C6Ms for power! Definitely one of the shorter road freights I've seen on a Class I main, TBQH. Honestly feels about as short as a mainline British freight, lol. This crossing is another nice one, located in another decently rural spot. The signals here appear to have been installed in the late-90s by NS, though it's possible they were an early-2000s install as well. It appears that sometime in the mid-2000s to mid-2010s, or possibly as recently as by the time @EthantheRailfanner visited here back in 2020 if the bell was reused from somewhere else, NS replaced the bell here with the current Safetran Type 3 e-bell. Thankfully, since then, nothing else too major has changed to these signals. For whatever reason, the lights on the far signal are also spread a bit far apart. https://www.rxrsignals.com/Tennessee/R-Z/Rogers_Springs/Foster/ If you like my videos, feel free to leave me a tip on Ko-Fi!
