Скачать или смотреть CSX 7112 Leads Autorack West | Church St. Railroad Crossing, Galion, OH

Thursday, August 14, 2025
Early this morning, I was out in the area to finish documenting the Mt. Victory Sub from Galion to Shelby, including updates. Whenever I got finished photographing this crossing, I would hear radio chatter for an M217. I set up here and would wait a while until I saw headlights. Eventually, this CSX M217 heads west with a CSX CM44AC and a CSX ES40DC at the Church Street railroad crossing in Galion on the Mt. Victory Sub.

This crossing has a pair of Conrail 1990s gated signals with the left signal's diagonally striped gate with NEG incandescents being replaced with a vertically striped one with RECO LEDs a while ago. The other unfortunate change was that both Safetran hybrid bells have died, with the left signal's one only ringing once before dying out.

Consist:
CSX M217 (Daily Autorack) [Greenwich, Yard, Philadelphia, PA - Wauhatchie, TN]
CSX 7112 - GE CM44AC
CSX 5410 - GE ES40DC
