New and other crossings from Six Flags Over Texas.

Post by ToledoRailfan »

I think some of you may remember this crossing with the wishbone gates with the standard mast-gated signal with a teardrop bell and a wig-wag: https://www.google.com/maps/@32.757196, ... !3e5?hl=en

And some of you may know of the crossing that seems to be lesser know but has wishbone gates with standard mast-gated signals with teardrop bells along with a wig-wag: https://www.google.com/maps/@32.758381, ... !3e5?hl=en

And 10 months ago, the first video of that wig-wag operating was uploaded to youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-m6pMQmP08Y and another one earlier today/yesterday: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Amt-DhdNrw

But there was this crossing from Six Flags Over Texas that I had not heard of before,I think its new (not the signals) and was uploaded today from a channel I am subscribed to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QiAPFVYfV9Q

It has significant differences from the other standard mast-gated signals in that it is painted green and orange, does not have teardrop bells, has Griswold Type-B lights, the signal is taller and the gate configuration is different.

I think its cool that an amusement park has real* crossing signals instead of crossing signals made by Chance rides or Scale Products Company.

*Although I consider crossing signals made by Chance Rides,Scale Products Company, ect. and crossing signals used by railroad companies as real railroad crossing signals. The reason I referred to those signals as real at Six Flags Over Texas is because I could not think of a simpler way to describe them.

While looking on Google Streetview at Kings Island, I found some interesting crossings.

Here are some employee crossing with signals that I think were made by Miniature Train Company:

I thought this is worth mentioning. this wooden crossbuck, probably homemade: https://www.google.com/maps/@32.756862, ... !3e5?hl=en
