This crossing is in a quiet zone. Trains do not usually blow their horns for this crossing.
After catching L696, I went off to downtown Nashville to snag some lunch from a Publix before making my way over to this crossing to wait. Thankfully, I didn't have to wait too long as, just after I finished my sub, I was able to get my second train of the day: CSX I026 with CSX 1976 (CSX's Conrail heritage unit, an ES44AH) leading an AC44CW and another ES44AH for power! Definitely nice getting to catch CSX's Conrail heritage unit leading for the third time in a row! This train also had a friendly crew aboard, who gave me a wave as they passed.
Thankfully, nothing has changed to this crossing since I last recorded it. That being said, however, I was thankfully able to get a better video of this crossing this time around.

Did you ever catch SD70MAC 4568 the 50th anniversary operation lifesaver unit, I caught it once in December of 2023.

[@freebrickproductions]

Not yet.

[@CrazyMarioRailfan]

Wait, Didn't you just see 1976?

[@freebrickproductions]

Read the descriptions of both videos.

[@CrazyMarioRailfan]

I read it.

[@freebrickproductions]

@@CrazyMarioRailfan Your answer is in them, lol. FWIW, this was where I caught 1976 first on this day.

[@CrazyMarioRailfan]

@@freebrickproductions OHH! I am sorry. I am getting a feeling this is your first time. Is it? Or was it another video before?

[@freebrickproductions]

@@CrazyMarioRailfan This is the fourth time I've caught CSX 1976, third time I've seen it leading. I got two videos of it on this day, however.
