Hollywood Ave crossing Upgrade. Tour of new signals.
This video was shot at the Hollywood Ave level crossing in Ho-Ho-Kus, NJ
I wasn't planning on filming today, due to the high winds (you can hear them on this video) but after seeing this crossing in my friend's Scott's video and seeing the 8 inch lights gone, i had to get out and confirm this, and i was right, sometime in the last year, NJ Transit decided to get rid of all the 8 inch lights at this crossing and install 12x24 inch LEDs, marking the end of all 8 inch level crossing lights on this line.
Crossing Info:
Signal #1: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x24 inch LED light, a Siemens gate mechanism and a Safetran Mechanical bell
Signal #2: 3 pairs pairs of Safetran 12x24 inch LED light, a Safetran gate mechanism and a WC Hayes Mechanical bell
Enjoy!

Baltimore-class cruiser
The Baltimore-class cruiser was a type of heavy cruiser in the United States Navy from the last years of World War II. Fast and heavily armed, ships like the Baltimore cruisers were mainly used by the Navy in World War II to protect the fast aircraft carriers in carrier battle groups. With their strong anti-aircraft armament, Baltimores could contribute especially in air defenses of these battle groups. Additionally, their 8-inch main guns and smaller medium guns were regularly used to bombard land targets in support of amphibious landings. After the war, only St Paul, Macon, Toledo, Columbus, Bremerton, Helena, Albany, and Rochester remained in service, while the rest were moved to the reserve fleet. All except Boston, Canberra, Chicago and Fall River were reactivated for the Korean War. By 1971, all ships remaining in the original design configuration were decommissioned, and started showing up in the scrap-sale lists. However, five Baltimore-class cruisers were refitted and converted into some of the first guided missile cruisers in the world, becoming the three Albany-class and two Boston-class cruisers. The last of these was decommissioned in 1980, with the Chicago and Albany lasting until 1991 in reserve. No example of the Baltimore class still exists.

remembering uss foote
The USS FOOTE DD-511, one of 175 Fletcher Class destroyers constructed in less than a thousand days during WWII, was built in Bath, Maine, launched Oct. 11, 1942 and commissioned in December, 1942 at Boston, Massachusetts. After rigorous training and drills from Maine to Guantanamo, Cuba, the ship got her first assignment - to convoy merchant ships to Casablanca, French Morocco, Africa. But the real test for the ship and crew was to come in the Pacific. May, 1943 saw the FOOTE underway from Norfolk, VA to Neuma, New Caledonia in the South Pacific via the Panama Canal. There she operated in anti-submarine patrols and escort duty until September, 1943 when she joined seven other Fletcher Class destroyers to become DesRon-23. This was the squadron that would become known all over the Pacific as the LITTLE BEAVERS under the command of Captain Arleigh 31-Knot Burke. The name derived when it was observed that those men work like little beavers. It was during the battle of Empress Augusta Bay off Bougainville on the night of November, 2, 1943, that Captain Burke's LITTLE BEAVERS proved that fast destroyers operating in unison could defeat a superior enemy force. However the FOOTE's participation in the Solomon's Campaign was cut short when a Japanese torpedo hit her fantail, destroying 55 feet and killing 19 gallant men. The blow, while nearly fatal, did not destroy the ship. With quick action by the crew, the flood of seawater was slowed. During the battle, other ships in the squadron surrounded the ship and ith the sunrise, she remained afloat. The tugboat, USS Bobolink helped to tow the FOOTE to San Pedro, California where she was repaired. After a new stern was welded into place, the ship and her crew returned to the Pacific in fighting trim to join the assault on the Philippines.
Off Tacioban, Leyte her crew saw the first evidence of Japan's suicide air attacks, the dreaded Kamikaze.
The FOOTE was further tested in the first re-supply convoy to Mindoro and the shore bombardments at Lingayen Gulf, Luzon where Allied Forces landed to retake Manila.
When the LITTLE BEAVERS reassembled and sailed for Okinawa, they entered into what was to be, the greatest battle of all. It was during the battle for Okinawa in the Ryukyu Chain at the southern tip of Japan that the Japanese sent their Death Squadrons against the fleet in a last ditch effort to turn back the American forces. They nearly succeeded in turning the invasion into disaster. Destroyers were especially vulnerable to the Kamikaze on their Radar Picket stations 20 to 45 miles off the Japanese coast. It was during one such attack that a Kamikaze scored a near-hit. The gunners destroyed the plane 10 yards from the ship with members of the FOOTE crew looking into the eyes of the fated pilot. The FOOTE was showered with plane fragments and another American crewman lost his life that day. The FOOTE's luck held and after several more close calls, the day finally came when the Japanese requested surrender terms. Her duty well done, the USS FOOTE DD-511 raised her anchor on September 10, 1945 for the last time in foreign waters. With homeward bound pennants flying, she along with 56 other ships of the Pacific fleet sailed for New York Harbor and the Victory Parade. On October 7, 1945, President Harry Truman reviewed these gallant ships and men in one of the greatest salutes to human courage. In doing so, he acknowledged The Greatest Generation our nation has had the privilege to honor.

U.S. Navy Ships in the Caribbean

USS Rhode Island Returns to Naval Base Kings Bay
KING BAY, Ga. (May 16, 2019) The Ohio-class ballistic-missile submarine USS Rhode Island (SSBN 740) returns to Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay, Ga., following a Demonstration and Shakedown Operation (DASO) where Rhode Island completed a test flight of an unarmed Trident II D5 missile. The primary objective of a DASO is to evaluate and demonstrate the readiness of the SSBN's strategic weapon system and crew before operational deployment following its engineered refueling overhaul (ERO). Kings Bay is homeport to five ballistic-missile submarines, capable of carrying up to 20 submarine-launched ballistic-missiles with multiple warheads.

Dry Dock #9: USS Merrimack/ CSS Virginia
USS Merrimack was a screw frigate, best known as the hull upon which the ironclad warship CSS Virginia was constructed during the American Civil War. CSS Virginia was the first steam-powered ironclad warship built by the Confederate States Navy during the first year of the American Civil War. The CSS Virginia then took part in the Battle of Hampton Roads in the first engagement between ironclad warships. The battle is chiefly significant in naval history as the first battle between ironclads.
