Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
The "STOP ON RED SIGNAL" sign is missing at this crossing! Must of fallen off..

This signal has two "STOP ON RED SIGNAL" signs!

Any idea on what sort of bells are on this crossing in Moss Vale, NSW? (Is it a yodalarm?)

Yea, that looks like a Yodalarm, probably a Y05.TrickyMario7654 wrote: Any idea on what sort of bells are on this crossing in Moss Vale, NSW? (Is it a yodalarm?)

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
Thanks for telling me that. I also found a crossing in Shepparton, Victoria with two black and white wishbone gates! (Sadly, it was replaced when GSV went through a few months later...freebrickproductions wrote:Yea, that looks like a Yodalarm, probably a Y05.

I had a feeling that was a CSX crossing when I saw the black-colored mechanical bell.freebrickproductions wrote:Active crossing, Murfreesboro, TN:

By the way, that crossing is on the site, too.

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
Nice find, also the old gate mechs appear to have been Harmon which are rare these days. I don't know what it is about the Harmon mechanisms but most of the ones I knew of have been replaced, yet they seem to keep the older mechanisms like WRRS/GRS. I wonder if the Harmon mechs have developed some known problems or maybe parts are no longer available?TrickyMario7654 wrote:I also found a crossing in Shepparton, Victoria with two black and white wishbone gates!

Not to mention, there's still a few McK&H gate mechs around Melbourne too.McK&H.Aust wrote:Nice find, also the old gate mechs appear to have been Harmon which are rare these days.

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
Looks like they're installing gates at this crossing...

Fast forward to 2016, and they still haven't installed them!
