Mexico Railroad Crossings

Post by PlyingKibbles89 » Wed Apr 24, 2019 12:20 pm

Can anyone find any Mexico railroad crossing signals?

Here's the first one I've found on Google Maps:

GE B40-8W's are the best. Well, uh, maybe with some exceptions...?

Mexico has tons of crossings throughout their nation but a lot of them are sadly in disrepair

I know, I just wanted some Google Maps Street View links of some crossings.

You can't search for them yourself?

Found one that's in good condition, and has REAL lights! They appear to be Safetran 12x20" lights and one signal has a Safetran type 3 electronic bell!

That deal on the signal in that 4th link isn't a bell. It's a light that blinks to let the train crew know that the signals are active and working fine

Looks like they were originally gated.

Indeed, i have seen quite a lot of crossings that had gates, but either if the gates were damaged or the mechanism was damaged/broken, removing them was the only solution, dependant on the cost... :Mellow:
