Welcome to my channel. I upload videos with railway related subject matter, mainly level crossings around Melbourne, Australia.
I film as often as I can, which these days can be difficult with a full time job, but I do the best I can and I try to upload videos at least once every two weeks
I also try to respond to comments as much as I can, though I can't deny I am sometimes slack!

Attenborough Ln Level Crossing, Beeston
What's this! Well, I've been in the UK recently, and so of course I had to film a level crossing while I was there. I found this random one in the outskirts of Nottingham, so I grabbed my camera and spent about 1.5 hours filming the many MANY trains passing through. No tripod footage this time, I couldn't take it with me on the flight over. Hope you enjoy what I got!
This is the Attenborough Ln level crossing in Beeston, on the Midland Main Line, with footage I took in August 2024.
This crossing has:
- Four SPX Rail Systems MK 2 boom gate mechanisms. The boom gate arms for through traffic are designed to close first, while the opposite boom gate arms descend a few seconds after, giving vehicles time to pass through the intersection. All boom gates rise at the same time when the crossing deactivates
- Two Clifford & Snell Yodalarm Y03/RF2/WR alarm system bells. These are programmed to sound out after the boom gates have lowered

Didnt know this
Cool to see you in the UK, Stuart!
I didn’t know you were in the UK.
this crossing actually used to have a Mck&H teardrop bell. if you go to grange rd carnegie, and go (i think) between 2009 and 2007, you'll see one of the crossings had a teardrop bell!
Now we know where the Clayton Road Westinghouse bell is now, its owned by fellow Victorian Railfan "Tazzie Transport"
Scorceby road confuses me
nice one mate! the trains go really fast past this crossing
Cool vid
Awesome video Mate 😊👍
This used to have 2 crb cantilevers
That’s a interesting level crossing Stuart!
A terrific production, clear, well explained, and interesting. Thank you.
Where is this area exactly!?
Northern suburbs of Melbourne ,between Reservoir and Thomsstown stations on the Mernda line. 😅
24:00
@@adriandunne4382 I knew this wasn't in the USA because I noticed left handed driving instead of driving in the right hand lanes.
Now Habibi Suboofer and all his bro mates will be happy. I used to be a delivery driver around those parts and have to sit there next to Habibi Suboofer at the lights pounding away at 4000 watts waiting and waiting at that bloody crossing. The lights were long enough and then just when it was your turn, the bells would sound, the booms would come down and you'd be stuck there for another light cycle next to Habibi Suboofer. Ahhhhhhhhhhh, memories.
A Very large level crossing
Just next door was High Street 
Awesome video mate I’ve been waiting for this for while now you upload the Keon park level crossing removal finally and new Keon Park station now big improvement. The Keon parade intersection is now better traffic flow passing under the rail bridge better then before with level crossing now it’s better and thank you for uploading the video of Keon park level crossing for me and keep up the good work 😊👍🚉
Great video! Shame that crossing's being removed, kinda surprised they went ahead and replaced the gate mechs, bells, and lights on it though.
I think most of the Melbourne removals have equipment upgrades due to safety standards.
I would hate to live in the apartments
I love the unique design of this level crossing I have always wanted to visit the puffing Billy railway I LOVE LEVEL CROSSINGS!!
its nice to see this crossing is pretty much all westinghouse. you din't see that very often
Kudos for putting up with a lot banal questions from the public Stuart. I wouldn't have the patience.
Legendary Stuart! You’ve come a long way towards 1,000 subscribers, love ya vids from the start mate, rock on!
nice catch on the comeng! its pretty rare to see a comeng on these kind of line right?
How the railroad crossing malfunctioned?
the lights are actually incandesents. they just have LED light caps installed
Very good video stu you do great with the idiots 😂
Victoria's only crossing with three working hybrids as of 2024
Congratulations Stuart Hunt for 1,000 subscribers
I had a good laugh at the gentleman who thought you were an undercover copper. Train came just in time to clear your name.
CONGRATULATIONS 1000 SUBS Wed 03 Jul 24❤🎉
Congratulations on thousand subscribers welcome to the club
I remember the guy in the Manchester Road, Mooroolbark crossing video who yelled at you in his car for filming the crossing.
Congrats on hitting 1k subs. You deserve it. Love your videos. Can't wait for part 2.
Congrats on 1k subs! Can’t wait to see part 2.
Using a Nathan K5LA for only Amtrak and K5LLA on SD70ACe locomotives for the freight trains!!!
I liked this for Amtrak, UP, BNSF, CSX, and NS locomotives!!! The SSC and WCH 2nd Mechanical Bells are great.
Great 🎉
Great video! Shame to see the classic signals go, but at least the new ones still have mechanical bells.
Itu negara jelek palang nya jelek dan kereta nya jelek australia jelek😂
KooWeeRup Pakenham Cockatoo... let me know when english was invented lol
nice vid stuart! sad to see the teardrop bell go😢
I think you spelt Healesville wrong.
This has 2 bells
awesome trains
Thank goodness Puffing Billy doesn't use e-bells for it's crossings
i went to this crossing with my dad when i was younger because i had to visit my grandma in the hospital(rest in peace to her)i was here for like 30 mins because i was bored :/ yeah anyways the bells are really great sounding. its sad to see the crossing gone. i really liked it
Nice
Thanks Emmy :)
Cool
I love emerald!
You sure do
Great video and crossing! A bit of a shame it was upgraded to LED, but at least the classic equipment still remains otherwise!
Thanks man :) It remains there for now, so we can still enjoy it heh
