Re: signals in the media
That segment and the video that it talks about is kind of well known.
Re: signals in the media
I drive by this crossing regularly.
The WCH m-bell still works BTW.
It's a entirely new cantilever, some drunk hit the old one back in 2010/2011, oddly enough it sat there non working for a week before being replaced, of course the crossing had to be flagged during this time.NathanFromEngland wrote:The cantilever 12x24 inch lights in the video were retrofitted with Harmon Fading LEDS along with its Safetran bell being replaced with a General Signals type 2 E-Bell.

Re: signals in the media
Throughout the telecast of the Kooyong Classic down here in Australia, you can often hear the nearby Glenferrie Road Level Crossing active in the background. This is due to the courts being located directly next to the crossing.
One instance of this is at 15:39.

Metro, why do you keep removing Mechanical bells?!

I wonder if they commentated on what that noise was.TrickyMario7654 wrote:Throughout the telecast of the Kooyong Classic down here in Australia, you can often hear the nearby Glenferrie Road Level Crossing active in the background.

Very similar to the Seattle Mariners. When they play at home, you often hear train horns because Safeco Field is right next to several rail lines.TrickyMario7654 wrote:Throughout the telecast of the Kooyong Classic down here in Australia, you can often hear the nearby Glenferrie Road Level Crossing active in the background.

Re: signals in the media
This Australian ad for AAMI Insurance features an old 'Rail Crossing' sign, but you can't see the actual crossing it's suppose to alert drivers of...

Found this railroad crossing safety film, loads of vintage equipment here. I also like the model scenes, lots of work must have gone into them.

Apparently the 2000 movie, Beethoven's 3rd, features a scene involving a rideable model railroad. In one of the scenes, a gateless 8 inch signal with a mechanical bell and "1 Track" signs can be seen.
