Re: Australian Railroad Crossing Signals

On the last day of my holiday in Mildura before we drive back right now. I want to report that this signal at Karadoc Avenue has been replaced entirely. https://www.google.com/maps/@-34.2272535,142.1709093,3a,73.5y,46.07h,88.27t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sZoD7e8ZtFaYKOgibJmIleg!2e0 https://www.google.com/...

Re: Australian Railroad Crossing Signals

Old Geelong Road is now removed. The crossing itself is still there for now as the pedestrian crossing is still being used until the pedestrian overpass is complete.

Re: Australian Railroad Crossing Signals

Great pictures Chris, it’s sad to see the Bungaree Loop pretty much gone as it would’ve been interesting to walk it from start to finish.

I’ve been regularly checking Lydiard Street out and the new boom gated setup will be operational on Tuesday and I’m hoping to film the crossing in action that day.

Re: Australian Railroad Crossing Signals

The only one on that list that makes sense to remove is Keon Parade, the others seem like a waste. Should all these go ahead, the Cranbourne, Pakenham, and Lilydale lines will be level crossing free. :Curse1: All other crossings that are on that list to be removed make sense as they are very busy, ...
