    This is the High Street level crossing at Seymour, Victoria. The crossing has 2 tracks, being the broad gauge line to Shepparton and the standard gauge line to Albury.
    All signals have unmarked bases and Westinghouse LED lights. Both gated signals have Westinghouse hybrid bells, Artcraft healthy state indicators, General Signals gate lights and Western Cullen Hayes gate mechanisms which replaced the original Westinghouse HB mechanisms some time around early 2021.
    The bell on the eastern signal rings from start up until the gates have lowered while the western bell rings until the gates rise. in July 2022 the crossing received new red background crossbucks.

    Nice capture here Michael. It's really enjoyable to go to Seymour. :) Haven't been there since I chased the Southern Aurora 60th Anniversary special 2 years ago from Wagga Wagga. Great capture here mate.

    Reminds me of some crossings in the USA.

    As of November 2022 the crossbucks have been replaced, but the hybrids remain

    Great video and nice crossing! Love the hybrid bells, I wonder why they briefly pause after the first ring?

      Thanks! It's fairly common for hybrids to have the brief pause at the beginning, not sure why but guessing it could something to do with the crossing circuitry, maybe takes a brief moment for full power to come through?

      @@McKHAust Maybe, I was thinking it could be something to do with the relays starting, similar to how crossing lights will typically very quickly flash when a crossing with an old mechanical flasher relay starts-up.

    Great Video! Such a shame that the N classes were all replaced with vlocitys :(

    Crossing gates without the flashing lights mounted on the base. You don't see that everyday

    Eww. they gave the crossing red background crossbucks? Yuck! At least they didn't replace the bells.
    Also, you can tell when the crossing was upgraded with gates, they only just added the gate masts to it. Quite a cheap solution, but a nice one nonetheless.

      I knew about the crossbucks but surprised they kept the hybrids, I did hear a while ago that the pedestrian crossing was supposed to be upgraded but seems like nothing has happened yet.

      @@McKHAust That's interesting. I don't think there's enough pedestrians here to warrant the upgrade IMO.
