Interesting Crossings in Jamaica

Post by MapsSurfer »

Found these Crossings along the Two Mining Railways in Jamaica. I wanted to know if anyone can identify the equipment of these Crossings.

Here's a photo that I believe was taken near the town of Nain. The Crossing uses a set of Manually-Lowered Gates and one Bell mounted atop a mast, Its possible that this Crossing once had a set of Flashers.

I guess that also use US-Style Advanced Warning Signs.

I also found these videos taken at separate Crossings at different locations. (The Alpart Co. and the Jamalco Co. are the only rail operators on the island).

The bell in the first picture is a WRRS mechanical bell.
