Sorta late reply, if I recall correctly there was a cab view video from the early 2000's that shows it, althought I can't seem to find it :( (It's probably somewhere on Youtube.)

Also a late reply, but I probably seem crazy that I care about footage so much (sorry for that), I’ll explain why later. Just a question, sorry for asking so much, you do have any idea who it’s by or who you think it’s by? I’ve found a vid by taitset without audio but it doesn’t show that crossing, other crossings on the same line are shown. I also found a vid from 2009 which seems good but that’s the year they got replaced. (Or 2008) The reason I care about footage so much is because I live kind of close to this area and knowing that a crossing so close had such a rare bell amazes me. I’ve also heard that the next crossing up the road, Devon road had a griswold bell, but I’m not really as interested in that.

Well as it turns out, I misremembered - There were cab *photos* but not videos, so unfortunately I guess there may not be any video footage of it operating :(
I don't even know where to find said cab photo or who took it, otherwise I'd link it here.

Don’t know if anyone noticed this yet, but the WRRS mechs at Marshall Street,?Ivanhoe have now been replaced. Sadly, this crossing has now been completely ruined.

And in sour news to me, the Pakenham line is now LEVEL CROSSING FREE! Thank you so much Jacatina Allan and Daniel Andrews for completely destroying my line.
