Mike's Railroad Crossing Forum

Google Street View managed to capture the Portland Street level crossing in Southport twice during November of last year.

It's hard to tell if this is true however due to conflicting street view imagery, When I get a drivers license presumably next year and maybe a decent camera, might try and record some crossings up here, since I haven't been to any crossings around the area since 2015.

An active crossing in Jēkabpils in the Jēkabpils District of Latvia.

Most crossings in Latvia nowadays use Bombardier equipment, especially the Polish gate mechanisms and the sounder, though there is still are still a few crossings out there in Latvia that still have equipment from the USSR days.

The relay case carries Bombardier logo as well

Street view here shows this crossing with a knocked down signal, and a signal with LEX-C lights and a split Harmon Crossbuck.

This crossing is owned by UP and I was shocked that UP replaced one of the WCH E-Bells with a Safetran Type 3 E-bell!!!!

Since when did UP start using safetran type 3 (siemens) e bells for bell replacements? I wonder if that bell is a high tone or a low tone bell. Very odd for sure.

Thats not a UP crossing, the No trespassing sign nearby says a different railroad's name and the UP plaque is not on the relay case.

It used to be a UP crossing, then it seems that PHL bought the line.

That would make sense, UP doesn't use Safetran bells

Well, there are apparently a pair of Safetran Type 3s on a UP line in Texas.
