I've come across a lot of crossings on streetview in Tasmania that were recently abandoned, I think I used to know why as I think it was one railway.McK&H.Aust wrote:The track was closed in 2014
The track used to service a container terminal at Hobart which was relocated further out of town, there were no other users of the line so that section of track was closed.ToledoRailfan wrote:I've come across a lot of crossings on streetview in Tasmania that were recently abandoned, I think I used to know why as I think it was one railway.McK&H.Aust wrote:The track was closed in 2014
Actually, they're later Modern Industries 12x20 inch lights! Other than the logo on the back, I don't think there's any differences between them and later Harmon lights.McK&H.Aust wrote: This crossing has 12x20 lights mounted on the traffic light cantilever, either side of the traffic lights! Not sure who made the lights, possibly WCH?

Wow, I've never seen MI lights in Australia before! Was thinking they were Harmon but they didn't have the logo on the side, they definitely weren't Safetran so I thought they were WCH because of the logo on the back. Never would have guessed they were Modern Industries.freebrickproductions wrote:Actually, they're later Modern Industries 12x20 inch lights!

Later Harmon lights also have the logos on the backs. Here are some pictures showing how similar the two are:McK&H.Aust wrote:Wow, I've never seen MI lights in Australia before!

We also have a crossing on the site with modern inverted SORS signs, it is also pretty odd seeing SORS signs in Alabama. These signs also aren't like standard SORS here in the United States. Almost reminds me of those SORS signs on that abandon narrow gauge line in South Carolina that I posted here a while ago.TrickyMario7654 wrote: This is an odd upgrade, the new gated signals have inverted SORS signs, and painted masts.

The lights are from WCH on the gated signals, while the gateless signal appears to possibly use Westinghouse lights.TrickyMario7654 wrote:This is an odd upgrade, the new gated signals have inverted SORS signs, and painted masts. Not to mention, the lights look fairly old.

It appears that those signs use the blocky font that Harmon used on their crossbucks.
I've always thought those were kind of weird, they're kind of something that I use to think about when I was younger like around 11 and 12 years old and something that I occasionally think about nowadays. I do realize what I just said is weird and almost doesn't even make sense.freebrickproductions wrote:The lights are from WCH on the gated signals, while the gateless signal appears to possibly use Westinghouse lights.TrickyMario7654 wrote:This is an odd upgrade, the new gated signals have inverted SORS signs, and painted masts.

Someone also needs to get out to SA and document all of those Lex-C lights.

Interestingly enough we have a Buckeye crossbuck version of it on the site. Image if there is an Australian version of the blocky font! That would be interesting.
