The hybrid bell sounds very healthy. It’s really sad that they’re nowhere near as common as they used to be. I remember when they were everywhere in Victoria like nearly 20 years ago, now they are increasingly rare due to either being replaced by e-bells or the mass number of grade separations in Melbourne.

@@TrickyMario7654 It’s not just hybrids but pretty much every kind of mechanical bell is now rare in Victoria, certainly contributes to killing off any sort of variety

@@McKHAust I know. Things like mechanical bells and Comengs are now being killed off without second thought, which is just disgusting. They recently took delivery of the first X’trap 2.0 set they ordered, so expect Comengs to be extinct from regular service in a few years time. :(

Nice video! Interesting how the gates dont stay lowered between trams, even more specifically the two activations from 13:32, the traffic lights on the opposite side didnt even change. I like the night shots too!
@orangehairdudАй бұрын
Pretty cool crossing with some traffic lights is this old footage?
@its4itАй бұрын
For every green and yellow light there are three red ones. So it seems. Seriously I find combinations of regular traffic signals and railway (or as in this case, tramway) crossing signals to be the most fascinating of all.

E bells must of died and WCH E bells came to play. I don’t mind the WCH E bells depends on the pitch tone. I like to see M bells and hybrid bells come back to Adelaide South Australia on metro crossings replacing dead ST3s which would be nice. Petition to bring back M and hybrid bells to Adelaide SA by writing saying bring back the bells that we want and bring your own bell to a railway crossing.
@McKHAustАй бұрын
Thanks, I can only presume the GS bell eventually died and perhaps they decided to replace both bells at the same time. Siemens bells aren’t really known for their quality or longevity so it’s also possible that it may have been the trigger for the replacements!

Great video and crossing! Glad to see that those classic signals (with their massive backgrounds) still survive in use, complete with their MI bell pair! Sadly, I think all of the MI bell pairs near me have long since had at least one of the bells replaced, though I think a few US&S bell pairs still exist in Georgia. The black paint really reminds me of how the ones installed by the L&N, SCL, and SBD look.
