This was the second train, and first of two railroad crossings I recorded on December 7, 2023. After checking for more changes along the Henderson Subdivision, I eventually got to Casky Lane just outside of Hopkinsville, and as soon as I approached, I was able to get a CSX southbound intermodal/autorack mix through, with the Spirit of Grafton locomotive trailing! I would eventually see that locomotive leading down in Florida within a few days time of getting this.
Also, many changes have occured throughout this crossing, including a new signal on the right side, and the LED upgrade for other signal.
