Fantastic shortened video Tazzie! The info in the longer one is great for experienced railfans like us, but for beginners who wanna know more about crossing bells, this is perfect! Keep up the great work!
1:47 Here in the US, we have signs that say "Do not stop on tracks". Who the heck said "Ok, let's one-up the rest of the world in road signage and change the sign to say 'Do not queue across railway lines'"?
Seymour where I live, has a safetran mechanical bell that goes off everytime a standard gauge train passes. It's located at the Albury end up from the station. Just a quick question though, which other states had Westinghouse hybrid bells apart from Victoria and New South Wales
Correct there is a Safetran bell there, But it isn’t a public crossing, it’s a warning bellpole. Sa used to, Wa may still if not they used to, I believe Northern Territory did at one point, not sure on others
Wow interesting facts I actually own a first gen wch mechanical bell myself and a second Gen Safetran Mechanical Bell there ain't many mechanical bells left here in Illinois USA in a town in Illinois USA called Altamont IL USA there's Three mechanical bells left one is another Western Cullen Hayes Mechanical Bell another is a Safetran and the third is WRRS and the ebell that replaced the wch is a general signals third street also had a crossing had signals replaced it had a type two Safetran ebell which was actually a neg second street had a WRRS mechanical bell it quit it was replaced with a g.s ebell as well
@@TazzieTransport Yes they are and there is one or two mechanical bells left in Watson Illinois USA and one was a WRRS I believe the other is a Safetran and in Effingham IL USA the two that's left is Safetran hybrid mechanical bell everything here is pretty much ebells
It's sad that they are getting rid of the old bells. I understand the reason why they are in favor of the new E-bells, but those old bells will neve be replaced with a e-bell.
List of countries using North American based railroad equipment outside of the US, Canada, and Mexico: Brazil Panama Israel Botswana Italy (somewhat) Australia New Zealand Saudi Arabia UAE Estonia (very limited) Netherlands (also very limited)
NZ seems to use WCH bells, mostly e-bells but a few m-bells. At least, that's what I see on Lift & Rail Photography In NZ's YT channel (well worth looking at btw!). I live in Australia & have never been to NZ so I can't say for sure...
7:25 I spotted those on crossings at the refinery in Torrance CA USA
Great! I like this video better than the long one since it’s a lot easier to watch and the info is very to the point
Yep! I felt like it needed to make a shortened one.

Many bells are used in the USA that are used in AUS indeed
Excellent video that is professionally edited. Well done.

The bells at 5:56 and 6:11 sound like general signals type 3's
I really love level crossings cool😅

Even sound like American train bells🇺🇸🇺🇸
Yes, the GS Type 2 is the major signal in my Hometown.
WCH And GS bells are within my area in the USA

Occo Crossing in Hustbridge & Rifle Range road in Ingliston
Where is this location I’m wondering?
0:31
Kilvington Drive in Emerald, Victoria
what are the pedestrian bells called? you find them at most road crossing in nsw
7:27 if I didn’t know any better I would’ve assumed that was somewhere in Arizona lol
5:10 my fav
It's sad that they are getting rid of the old bells. I understand the reason why they are in favor of the new E-bells, but those old bells will neve be replaced with a e-bell.
Should Italy donate crossing bells from their old U.S. style crossings to Queensland?
Honestly mechanical bells make more sense than electronic bells when it comes to railroad crossing but both have their advantages
4:11 it sounds scrachy
2:03 so weird how North America uses the same stuff as Australia which is quite literally on the opposite side of the planet
and some drivers just drive even if the lights and sound are on😂. I'm not surprised by the many railway accidents
Even the ability bell
for WCH e-bells there is only type 1, 1.5, 2, 3, and 4
E bells are cool
I live in the US
Ok
Same
Your not alone :)

@@TrainSpotter-ym5go*You’re
Alot of these Bells can be found in the U.S. there are a select few that can't
Amazing how America lends railroad equipment to Australia
Good 😂

What equipment is used in the Neatherlands?
@@TazzieTransport Gate mechs are designed after the Safetran/Siemens
@@sgtdebones Oh interesting!
In addition, Argentina (to some extent) and Chile use USA-based level crossing equipment.
NZ seems to use WCH bells, mostly e-bells but a few m-bells. At least, that's what I see on Lift & Rail Photography In NZ's YT channel (well worth looking at btw!). I live in Australia & have never been to NZ so I can't say for sure...
3:25 uhhhh there are westinghouse hybrids in the usa😅....
I dont know about ypu but i like modern crossing crossing equipment like red crossbucks WCH Incasdenants safetran type 3's
