Church Street Railroad Crossing, Millington, TN

This was the eighth railroad crossing I recorded on September 21, 2025. After getting Melrose Road near Covington recorded, I went back down to Atoka, and then Millington for changes, while also stopping by a nearby park in Atoka that has some miniature crossing equipment there. I noticed that the block signal in the distance was lit up once again, for another northbound, so I decided to record Church Street this time because it has a 4 signal setup, but I have to wonder why it activates so early? Like nearly a minute before even the nearby crossing, Jack Huffman Boulevard even activates? CN should fix this, IMO.
