McNickle Street Railroad Crossing, Smyrna, TN
This was the third railroad crossing I recorded on April 28. After getting New Town Road in College Grove recorded, I made my way down to the CSX Chattanooga Subdivision, but decided to make it to McNickle Street in Smyrna. After getting setup for a while, I noticed something down the tracks, and within a few minutes, a very fast northbound mixed freight comes up through, which makes it the third catch of today! I would then head back up northwards after getting this.

This was the second railroad crossing I recorded on April 28. After getting Arno-College Grove Road in action, I decided to head up McDaniel Road, but this would not be the case because when I got closer to the crossing, a stopped southbound was sitting, so I decided to return back to College Grove but unfortnately, I missed another northbound, but I didn't want to give up. I decided to wait an...

This was the first railroad crossing I recorded on April 28, 2024. During that time, I decided to head down to the S&NA North to try again for some action. But due to various reasons, I couldn't go all the way down to Lewisburg. So I decided to go towards College Grove and get Arno-College Grove Road in action. After waiting a while, the nearby block signal turned on for a northbound, and I was...

This was the only railroad crossing I recorded on April 24, 2024. At that time, I was doing my classes on campus and getting help on finishing up my work. But once everything was out of the way, I was going to make my way home, until I heard a train horn within the distance of me leaving campus. Since then, I decided to rush my way over to Center Point Road for another crossing video of it, and...

This was the second and last railroad crossing I recorded on April 23, 2024. After getting Market Street in action, I decided to wait on and see if I can get another train on this line. Now because it isn't busy, I just have to try my best to see if I can get a second train on this line without having to wait a long time. Luckily, after a roughly 2 hour wait, I was able to get another southboun...

This was the first railroad crossing I recorded on April 23, 2024. Like yesterday, I was at class at campus at the time. Once classes ended, I decided to head back up to the Mainline Subdivision once again for more action. Unfortunately, I didn't get so lucky as nothing was aligned when I checked the siding, but I decided to wait regardless. After an hour and a half of waiting, I heard somethin...

But after class, I decided to head to the Mainline Subdivision to make up what I couldn't get the other day on the S&NA North. While I have reached the sub, but originally, there was nothing coming, so I decided to just wait anyways. But eventually, the siding turned on for a southb...

Once I have completed it, I've decided to head over to the S&NA North for some action. I decided to record New Ostella Road, and by the time I crossed the tracks, the nearby siding signal shows a green for a northbound! So I set-up, and got the northbound...

This was the only railroad crossing I recorded on April 14, 2024. Since I have returned back from Florida, I haven't been out doing a lot of railroad action. But I've decided to break the streak by going to Old Shackle Island Road once again for action.

This was the third and last train catch, along with the only railroad crossing I recorded on March 6, 2024. After completing photography on the CSX Yeoman, Lakeland, and a section of the Tampa Terminal Subdivisions, I decided to return back to Plant City to photograph the section of the Lakeland Subdivision east of Plant City. However, when I first arrived at Warnell Street, I heard an Amtrak t...

This was the second train catch I got on March 6, 2024. At that time, I was still photographing the CSX Lakeland Subdivision, or the westend of the A-Line. When I got near Tampa limits and finished up photographing this crossing, I was crossing the crosswalk nearby, and when all of a sudden, the crossing activated, so I rushed over on the one side, and managed to get CSX 6562 leading a westboun...

This was the first train catch I got on March 6, 2024. At that time, this was the last full day of railroad crossing photography during my Florida spring break trip.

So I decided to continue my way, and eventually, when I got out of Bushnel...

This was the last train I managed to get recorded on March 4, 2024, along with the last railroad crossing I would photograph on Day 3.

This was the second train, and only railroad crossing I would record on March 4, 2024. While continuing up the CSX A-Line, or Carters Subdivision, I began to hear an Amtrak train within the distance. All of sudden, I kinda hit the jackpot of these old SCL-era signals at Nekoma Avenue! I guess this was my lucky day.

What is that game I wanna try it out
I like this because I live by Norfolk Southern trackage here in my state of Georgia
Nice catch and crossing miss the eight inch lights and old mechanical bell
Nice catch and crossing love this crossing and bell combo
Great video and nice crossing!
Nice video and great crossing! It's McNickle Drive, BTW.

Finally! A new video!

1:53 this one sounded sus
I have the crossbuck, lights, and gate from that crossing after it was taken down. CSX gave it to me when i was railfanning one day.
Hope that bell and signals last a long time.
@HiltonAnimations
Great video! Right there on that corner is where I grew up. That’s my grandma’s old house. She passed in 2011 and the house was sold unfortunately by my uncle to that Helton Electric Company that now owns that whole corner there near the Sandersville Railroad Company Mainline
Would anyone like to try my geek bar🎉
The good old spot right there!
Is that actually a real food?
Awesome! Have a great weekend!! 🚆🚆
Vice City Stories theme be like
Unfortunately the GE E-Bell on the closest gated signal was replaced and it now has an NEG E-Bell
It’s a awesome treat to see that CSX hasn’t changed the bell setting here glad to see it ring while the gates are down something different for a change
I hope CSX gives the m bell some tlc instead of replace the bell

@@trainmancolt22711 It’ll be a while, for now.
Ok.
Great video! Still a shame they replaced the older signals that had been in downtown Portland.
Great video, crossing, and catch! Glad to see no changes to those signals since I recorded it at the end of last year. This was I141, BTW.
Great video and catch!
Great video and catch!
Nice video! A bit backlit on that side it seems, IMHO.
Great video and crossing! Glad to see the GRS gate mech is still there.

Cool Crossing!
Nice catch miss the old signals

Total shame for the signals replaced.
0:05 Is that your car or another car?
Could someone please explain to me how this isn't racist?
It’s not a race thing, it’s a cultural food thing.
@@KenMasters.So what you're saying is, it's more nationalism than racism? Because that's still pretty bad
@@allmight9227 Nah, not that big. As long as it’s not bias, because every country has food faults. Even America pokes fun at itself for being unhealthy.
@@KenMasters. The thing is, in this case not only is there bias, there is also a made up stereotype. The sketch specifically focuses on foreign people, and the Americans are portrayed as "normal", which shows bias based on nationality. The food "ging-bok" does not exist in the real world, it's a generalisation that they made it up for this sketch to tell the viewer that foreign food is bad. As they could not use a real food to get their message across, this is indicative of the message of the sketch being completely made up.
Because it's set in America ya doosh. If a white guy opened a cheese sandwich in a room full of Japanese in a Tokyo office building and they all said the White Outsider's food smells like smegma would you be crying about racism? No you wouldn't. Get over yourself and learn to have a laugh ya tool.@@allmight9227
Great video and crossing! Great catch as well!
Great video and catch! Love that all EMD lash-up! Also, you forgot to list the mid-DPU: CSX 4733, another SD70MAC.
The NEG E-Bells sound scratchy
Great to see those early-1980s SBD signals still in place. Though it’s unfortunate that the US&S mechanical bell is pretty much almost dead. Sounds like I need to get to Plant City, Florida to record the older CSX, SBD, and SCL crossings in the town.
