Faculty Rd, Princeton, NJ
Posted: Wed Jun 10, 2015 8:30 am
This crossing is a part of the Shuttle between the Princeton Junction Station and Princeton Station. Locals call it the "Dinky". Currently the Faculty Rd Crossing has had a Safetran Setup(Aside from the bells). There was 3 upgrade made within the later 2000s up to now. It is 1 of 3 crossings between the 2 stations.
Where it has had many upgrades. The first crossing was like my previous videos except that the original bell there was a Safetran Hybrid Bell.
Around the later 2000s, the Hybrid bell had more likely died and was replaced by a WCH M-Bell (Like in the video). That crossing lasted up to 2014 Faculty Rd and Princeton Station were upgraded. Currently the station is closer to Faculty than the older station. And currently the crossing has the original gates on the older sidewalk. The other side has an extra sidewalk for which one gate mechanism had to be switched out from a Safetran brand to a Siemens branded gate with an extra pedestrian gate arm. Previously there was 12X20 incandescent lights and they were upgraded into Dialight Ball LEDs. An extra bell was added(another WCH M Bell), and another Safetran pedestrian gate was put in for the other sidewalk.
Before the upgrade (September 2013):
After the upgrade (May 2015):
