Great video! The mast lights on the third crossing were probably mounted higher up to avoid blocking the original nearside auxiliary signal at that intersection, which was most likely 8 inch.
There's something about these kinds of signals, I don't know what it is, but to me they have a kind of character that their modern, LED-lit/electronic bell counterparts just don't have.
The railroad line from Madison, Wisconsin to Reedsburg, Wisconsin goes right through Devil's Lake State Park, and I remember when one of the crossings still had the wig-wag signals.
What's better, beating a train and risking your entire life or waiting for even less than a minute and preventing a casualty? There's no question. Even when the signals are red, it's black and white. Don't beat a train.
This is my town 8 crossings Quiet zone Crossing 1: LED, WCH e-bell, GS type 2 or 3 e-bell, 2 medrian signals, no cantilever Crossing 2: LED, GS type 3 e-bell, WCH e-bell, 2 RACO cantilevers, 0 medrian signals Crossing 3: LED, ASC e-bell (low pitched), no medrian signal or cantilever Crossing 4: LED, ASC e-bell (high pitched), no medrian signal or cantilever Crossing 5: dotted LED, GS type 3 e-bell, no medrian signal or cantilever Crossing 6: LED, WCH e-bell, no medrian signal or cantilever Crossing 7: dotted LED, 2 GS type 3 e-bell, 1 WCH e-bell, 2 medrian signals, 3 cantilevers Crossing 8: LED, GS type 3 e-bell, 2 medrian signals (one gateless), no cantilever
Yes the WigWag still is used and works till this day. It was temporarily out kf service though not to long ago as it needed to be repaired but it's working again now.
Old crossings are the best; incandescent lights, real mechanical bells ringing, you can’t beat it!

Yeah in Australia we barely have them anywhere (well in my state anyway)

What I like about these crossings is that they’re so unique and unusual, very nice.
No matter why I love old crossing:)
I've always loved the super-long hoods over the flashers.
Great video! The mast lights on the third crossing were probably mounted higher up to avoid blocking the original nearside auxiliary signal at that intersection, which was most likely 8 inch.
Come to Fresno. We still got some older crossings on the east side heading towards Sanger! 1 Raco, and 2 Wabcos along that line.
No way!!! the first railroad crossing in the video is literally my favorite railroad crossing! ❤️❤️
I love the double bell crossings.
I Liked!😁
the pendant lights are so cool
Old railroad crossing bells are better than e bells
True. Those electronic bells get a fuzzy sound when they ring, sounds like "Noing-Noing-Noing-Noing" and yes, it's quite annoying.
I love old crossings
My 2 year old is fascinated by this video
super awesome, I LOVE older stuff
I like old crossing bc the bells ring fast
These crossings are the embodiment of if it ain't broke, don't fix it
Love the Wig-Wag signal!
Such a good one but look at these idiots
They drive right through the activated wig wag!
I loved the griswold gates in the fourth crossing

I Love your videos~!!! TY! edit to say I always film a train. :)
I am a fan of trains and railroad crossing
Ditto with me
tanks for the video
4:05 unfortunately these crossings have been replaced with new ones 😢
4:07
cool!
Dwyer Rd had its M bells replaced by GS Type 3s
Love the odd gates!
I love your videos this is a good video
My fav things to see is all the rr crossing bells and crossing
I love the Griswold signals. Period
Nice catch of up 2612 & 2609.
Old railroad crossings are what I use to answer the question: "Did the past really happen?"
Parts like these are discontinued so it must've happened!

🎉🎉🎉🎉 old railroad crossing are the best

I love these crossings, also, UP 4444 at 22:40
THIS CROSSING AT 2:49 IS MY FAV OMG
I love in the SAFETRAN TYPE 1 because have old signal in 18:13
Peep the Train carrying the tanks
Nice
It’s the wig wag 5:27
19:37 my favorite bell and sound
Me too!
why is one of the mechanical bells sounding like a electronic bell
8:38 This gives me "Railhead detail" flashbacks from the military
The graffiti uint from lionel was canceled THANKS UP NOT
can you do a video of railroad crossings with bells that ring at a fast rate?
Old railroad
Union Pacific: that’s not what we do here
Great stop there, Red (6:00). No wonder they have had to upgrade crossings and phase out the flagman signals.
I love train😊
The Union Pacific valley sub

BEAUTIFUL TRAIN, 3:03
Good catches of old signals. Great catch of the wig wag. Wouldve been better without GenSets and with the FPA4 on Napa Wine.
Does it still work????????
8:38 why is that train have tactical tanks on it?
That's what I was wondering to. 🤔🤔
Maybe being transported out of a factory
The lights barely even work they need to replace those
8:43 why tanks?
🎽🎽🎽🎽🎽🎽🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫
Military transportation. Flatcars are owned by the Department of Defense.
Also 3:15 the crossing signal across the street looks like it's missing its gate
Yea it is
I think that’s why they flagged it, I’m not sure tho
The USAF train
4:12 GRISWOOOOOLDS!!!!
24:17, I live just around the corner from that crossing, need to film a train there before they get switched over to electronic bells.
Kind if and old style as tilting red light on one side and then a double sided light on the other side
At 18:22 E-Bell type 3 I think. Correct me if I’m wrong.
Quick question. What are the bells at 31:16?
WCH Type 2 E-Bells.
@@MobileRailSpotterRxR Thank you!
Its a shame that most of the crossings in my town are all going the led route and electronic bells. :(
I believe most of ours are a combination of LED's and mechanical bells.
This is my town
8 crossings
Quiet zone
Crossing 1: LED, WCH e-bell, GS type 2 or 3 e-bell, 2 medrian signals, no cantilever
Crossing 2: LED, GS type 3 e-bell, WCH e-bell, 2 RACO cantilevers, 0 medrian signals
Crossing 3: LED, ASC e-bell (low pitched), no medrian signal or cantilever
Crossing 4: LED, ASC e-bell (high pitched), no medrian signal or cantilever
Crossing 5: dotted LED, GS type 3 e-bell, no medrian signal or cantilever
Crossing 6: LED, WCH e-bell, no medrian signal or cantilever
Crossing 7: dotted LED, 2 GS type 3 e-bell, 1 WCH e-bell, 2 medrian signals, 3 cantilevers
Crossing 8: LED, GS type 3 e-bell, 2 medrian signals (one gateless), no cantilever
Cool crossings, but why do people who record railroad crossings always feel inclined to zoom in on the crossing lights? Like, yeah dude I can see them
Documentation detail from different light companies so it will be noticed when swapped out with a new different design.
0:39 what is that locomotive train
4:07 ok that’s cursed
5:37 is that still in operation?
Yes the WigWag still is used and works till this day. It was temporarily out kf service though not to long ago as it needed to be repaired but it's working again now.
Can you check it again after 4 months
@@MobileRailSpotterRxR nice
theres a holding bell
10:00 what kind of mechanism was that?
Safetran Modal 85. They were rarely used between the 1980s & early 1990s.
It got backward arms 😂
🚂🚂🚂🚂
Rare
8:30 the train is going to war!
Flashy
0:35 can we get it at night?
Please
It's in America
No
I CANT I CAN HAHAHAHAHA
NO
It involvec a ram
18:48 relay fails for the gate lights on first signal
