Recorded on 7-29-15
Signal on the left: 1 WCH 8 inch light, 1 WRRS 8 inch light, 2 pairs of Modern Industries 12x20 inch lights, a WRRS mechanical bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, and RECO LED gate lights.
Signal on the right: 2 pairs of US&S 8 inch lights, a US&S Teardrop bell, a WCH gate mechanism, and RECO gate lights.
This was actually my first time seeing and hearing a US&S Teardrop bell in person. The train also had a pretty cool lash-up with a pair of AC44CWs pulling it, with the YN2 one leading, which was also a two-digit numbered engine (first time catching one of those on camera). I find it cool how the YN2 engine had a two-digit number and the YN3 engine had a three-digit number.
I also recorded this crossing from where I did because I wanted to be on the side with the Teardrop bell and on the other side of the street where I had set-up was a very busy driveway for what I believe is a scrapping facility. During the video, a worker from that building comes up and asks about what I'm doing and tells me to be safe while I'm doing this.

Awesome, I saw 60 not too long ago, would've been cooler if the 2nd engine was 340, that was the AC44 paired up when I saw it!

Yoshi the Railfanner It's amazing how far a locomotive can travel in a short time period, isn't it?

those US&S Lights Look a lot like GRS 8 Inch Lights

@freebrickproductions 6 жыл бұрын

There's a few physical differences between US&S and GRS 8 inch lights, like the brand name on the back, how deep the light is (GRS are deeper than US&S/WABCO), and GRS lights lack the ring that US&S lights have around the lens (WABCO lights also lack this ring).

whats a shortline? and is there a lot of 8 inch lights and mechanical bells?

@freebrickproductions 6 жыл бұрын

"Shortline" is another term for a Class III railroad here in the US, and Class III railroads are railroads that don't meet either Class I railroad or Class II railroad (sometimes called a "regional railroad") requirements (an example of a Class I railroad is Norfolk Southern and an example of a Class II is the New York, Susquehanna, & Western Railroad). And it depends on what line you're asking about when it comes to 8 inch lights and mechanical bells.
