WRRS Type 1585 Gate Lights
Переглядів 3246 місяців тому
These lights were originally made by the Western Railroad Supply Company (WRRS) who later became Federal Signal Corporation (FS) then Western Cullen Hayes. They were used on new installations in Australia right into the 1990's so I'm guessing production stopped around that time. I'm not sure which lights were made by which company, although I suspect the ones with the number 1585 cast into the ...

Can you film more train crossings in South Australia. I want you to start filming now.
Great to see them use new mechanical bells on the current signals. Still, what made them replace the original signals in the first place?
@@TrickyMario7654 they did a lot of signalling work in the area so guess they installed a whole new setup to integrate with the new interlocking equipment.
@@McKHAust I see. I assume they replaced the signals at Perthville at the same time, right? Begs the question, why did this get m-bells, while Perthville got an e-bell?
@@TrickyMario7654 Perthville was a later replacement I believe, it used different equipment. The old relay hut for this crossing was much smaller than the new one and the colour light signal near the crossing is new, I’m presuming they needed a bigger hut to accommodate the additional equipment for that signal. My guess is that it was much easier to do a completely new installation rather than trying to tie in the old equipment with the new and presumably have more cabling to complicate matters!
@@McKHAust Makes sense. Thanks for the correction on Perthville, I forgot it still had the original signals at the time.
Guys how did y’all’s comment 11 months ago when the video was uploaded today? Wow!
I’m lost about that too. Maybe it’s a re load ?
@@YourFellowRNRSisterFan98I bet you’re right 😑😑😑
@@JBoy328We get early access
When do you start filming again?
DARREN RICHARDSON 😊LOVE YOU ❤HAVE
The MI Bells are also still there at Wagga Wagga
I visited this crossing the other week I actually noticed the crossing bell on the west side has since stopped working, while the other, faster bell still rings.
GS Type 1 sound normal at night
Teardrop bell now replaced by a Safetran Type 3 E-Bell
Can you do an update of this
Nice Video! Very interesting angle for a crossing, cool to have more than 2 signals too!!

Good video mck&aust
Nice video!
I love this crossing due to its setup
This is a very interesting crossing, and it’s still a very nice one too despite the teardrop bell sadly being replaced a few years ago. BTW, got a bunch of 1980s-era V/Line station signs today. They’re from Nar Nar Goon, Tynong, Garfield, Bunyip, Longwarry, Yarragon, Trafalgar, Morwell, and Rosedale. :)
Nice how it has traffic lights on top of the two flashing red lights 🚦
Can you film more trains in SA?
I’m taking a break from filming so won’t be filming anywhere for a while, still got plenty of footage left to upload
@@McKHAust When do you start filming again?
UPDATE: The overpass built to replace this crossing is now finished. RIP Level Crossing, pointless removal IMO.
UPDATE: This crossing was closed as of May 18th, 2024. Completely stupid decision IMO.
That’s sad but I look at it this way, even if the crossing had survived it eventually would have been upgraded with boring new equipment which isn’t much different from removal if you’re interested in classic old equipment. The hybrids were already gone so after that it’s not really a big loss for it to be removed.
@@McKHAust There's only three crossings left on the Pakenham line now I believe, those being: -Station Street, Beaconsfield -Progress Street, Dandenong South -Webster Street, Dandenong. Needless to say, I am not happy with these losers removing the crossings within Pakenham and demolishing the old station. Like with the scrapping of the Comeng fleet, they're ripping away a part of my childhood and it hurts my heart. :(
Somehow, sober scratchy

I love the sound of all the rainbow lorikeets in the first 4 minutes of the video!

DARRENR 🏠 have OK yes ❤LOVE
Fs bells are now so rare 😢
Great video and crossing! Love that classic FS bell, shame it's gone now. An FS bell here in Alabama was replaced not too long ago due to a signal upgrade as well.
Thanks! FS bells certainly are becoming rare now.
Shame the bell is gone. There are very, very few FS bells with the modern FS logo.
Pretty much all FS-branded 0333 bells have the modern FS logo, lol.
Great capture Michael. Man Casino is a lovely place in the NSW North Coast. Hope you had a good sleepover at a Hotel up that way having to travel all that long distance only couple of hours away from Queensland. Sad to hear about the Old Mechanical bell been replaced. Glad it was a WC hayes E-bell and not that Siemens E-Bell.
Thanks Josh!
Cool video. Those dogs must not be used to strangers lol
Thanks!
Nice video! At least they replaced the bell with a WCH e-bell rather than a Siemens bell!
Thanks, yes I’m glad the replacement wasn’t a Siemens bell, don’t actually see that many older setups like this with WCH e-bells.
Nice
Thanks!
It’s a bit of the shame the bell had to be replaced. At least you got to film it before they did replace it.
The moment I first heard the bell, I knew it was on borrowed time, just got lucky with my timing before it was replaced!
@@McKHAust Yeah, you sure did get lucky. Did you get any other crossings in the area?
I’m just amazed that street view was updated so quickly, didn’t have to wait the usual 10 years lol. I did film the next crossing south of here which has a mechanical bell, also one south of Kyogle which also has an m-bell but it’s not on street view. It’s actually the most northerly mechanical bell which is still in service in NSW. Baraimal Lane.
@@McKHAust Interesting. I did notice GSV images are finally starting to be updated in some areas at last. Shame the Murwillumbah line is no longer used. It looked to have had some nice crossings on it.
The Murwillumbah line sure had some nice crossings but sadly many have had their signals removed now
I saw lighting in the background lol
Nice vid, the westinghouse teardrop really sets this apart from other crossings with similar setups. Was this crossing supposed to get gates a while back? I haven’t heard anything recent.
Great catches!
Thanks!
Awesome gateless crossing! Amazing footage! :)
Really like the country rail crossings,good night catch esp on the Portland line which is terribly underused and neglected,of course here in Melbournel level crossings dissappearing,in Glenhuntly where l live,2 crossings gone in the past year
Nice video and crossing!
Thanks!
I realise it's heresy to say this, but to my ears, the Siemens e-bell sounded better than the Westinghouse hybrid. But then I've never really liked hybrids. I even turned one down when it was offered to me. Okay, perhaps that was a mistake. 😮💨 I repaired one for someone once and it still didn't make me want one for myself. lol! That said, still sad to see even a hybrid get replaced by an e-bell. Of course teardrops (ANY teardrop) is automatically going to be better that either. 😁
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion :)
@@McKHAust it'd be boring if we were all the same. But generally I still prefer to see hybrids hanging on than being replaced by e-bells. And some e-bells sound horrible to my ears. :)
Great video and crossing! Love that rainbow in the opening picture!
Thanks!
