I know that crossing, because I was out of view to the left by the relay case. I recommended to him we went to that crossing. That crossing is also on the site. http://www.rxrsignals.net/Illinois/L-Q/Mazon/Hadden/

Here is one of my favorite crossings and it has the Safetran Type 1 electronic bells:

This crossing is on M-50 in Dundee, MI on the Ann Arbor.

Sorry there is not much of the bells to be heard, this was in October of 2008 and I fell and broke my left foot right before taking the video, I was barely able to stand the camera up and shoot it last second. Still have not healed from that. lol

Anywho, there is a great set of these Safetrans at a crossing in Royal Oak, MI on the CN where Amtrak also runs, they get a nice lead as the train is taking off. Ill get those up here in a few minutes, look for a reply.

Here are the nice Safetran Type 1s on the CN (Canadian National) Holly Subdivision in Royal Oak, MI on W 4th Street.

Here is the video of Amtrak 353 departing the station, taken right next to the Type 1s in service:



just dig the sound of those guys!

Here us a Google maps street view of the crossing

Thanks, lol but no joke, I stepped in a gopher hole and fell on a 90 degree angle. I didn't have insurance at the time, but am afraid to go in and have it re broke or whatever they do, it still is crippling pain from time to time. lol, but yea I was excited, it was a red Annie unit! lol
