You would think these YYR signals would operate like the kind you would see here in the US but they actually act as an indication that the crossing is functioning properly, just like signals in Norway, Sweden, Finland, Belgium ect.

There is also this interesting side gate for the crossing.

The maintainer there looks like he was saying "what in the hell..."

Wonder if he climbed up and fixed the gate guard?

I didn't find any evidence or any tracks, save for the ones further down the way. So I looked at the previous captures. 2009:

Looks like a crossbuck used for an advance warning sign

Nice find. Sadly the teardrop bell is gone, replaced by a Safetran type 3
I only found that out from the picture on the cover of this report, as GSV hasn't been updated since 2010 http://www.transport.nsw.gov.au/sites/d ... report.pdf

It's actually quite rare to see a crossing in NSW with e-bells and old gate mechs (they look like GRS type D), as they are both usually replaced at the same time.
