Been to this crossing more times than I can count - it's reasonably local for me and offers some pretty good views of oncoming trains. The view looking towards Bathurst through the avenue of trees looks very Scottish, especially in Autumn, whilst the fact that e-bells haven't taken hold here (as they have at Perthville) is a bonus. Keen to see what you have to say about nearby Lloyds Road when you get to it seeing as that's my regular haunt (even moreso than Orton Park). It's still got mechanical bells as of July 2024.

Great to see them use new mechanical bells on the current signals. Still, what made them replace the original signals in the first place?

@@TrickyMario7654 they did a lot of signalling work in the area so guess they installed a whole new setup to integrate with the new interlocking equipment.

@@McKHAust I see. I assume they replaced the signals at Perthville at the same time, right? Begs the question, why did this get m-bells, while Perthville got an e-bell?
@McKHAust5 күн бұрын
@@TrickyMario7654 Perthville was a later replacement I believe, it used different equipment. The old relay hut for this crossing was much smaller than the new one and the colour light signal near the crossing is new, I’m presuming they needed a bigger hut to accommodate the additional equipment for that signal. My guess is that it was much easier to do a completely new installation rather than trying to tie in the old equipment with the new and presumably have more cabling to complicate matters!

@@McKHAust Makes sense. Thanks for the correction on Perthville, I forgot it still had the original signals at the time.

This is a very interesting crossing, and it’s still a very nice one too despite the teardrop bell sadly being replaced a few years ago. BTW, got a bunch of 1980s-era V/Line station signs today. They’re from Nar Nar Goon, Tynong, Garfield, Bunyip, Longwarry, Yarragon, Trafalgar, Morwell, and Rosedale. :)

@McKHAustАй бұрын
That’s sad but I look at it this way, even if the crossing had survived it eventually would have been upgraded with boring new equipment which isn’t much different from removal if you’re interested in classic old equipment. The hybrids were already gone so after that it’s not really a big loss for it to be removed.

@@McKHAust There's only three crossings left on the Pakenham line now I believe, those being: -Station Street, Beaconsfield -Progress Street, Dandenong South -Webster Street, Dandenong. Needless to say, I am not happy with these losers removing the crossings within Pakenham and demolishing the old station. Like with the scrapping of the Comeng fleet, they're ripping away a part of my childhood and it hurts my heart. :(
