For everyone wondering about the story behind this. In the late 1980’s, the Swedish Railways were testing various solutions to improve level crossing visibility from greater distance. One of these included American-style lights mounted above the crossbucks. Some other solutions tested were regular Swedish lights above crossbuck and the blue-white portals seen at some crossings. This link is to a crossing featuring both of these other solutions: m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/bH_RZ5SjZqihms0

Great video and crossing! Love the 70s Safetran 12x20s there, neat to see some in use over there in Europe! The Southern Railway and Seaboard Coast Line Railroad over here in the US used them in my area, mostly on the overheads of the cantilevers.

Holy Moly! I’m a railfan from Michigan and that Safetran 12x20 must be Super rare! There is actually a line down in Monroe mi Called the “Detroit line” which southbound Norfolk southern trains Run and They use a lot Of the 12x20’s there as well. And Even on the Northbound line of it too!

För dem som inte känner till: Riksväg 108 är en bit av gamla Riks rikstvåan som fick mellan Malmö och Göteborg innan E6:a bygges.

it looks like a prototype installation? whats the story behind it?

They where put up as a test in the early 1990s to raise the target value of the crossing when activated. This is the only crossing in Sweden that ever got this weird setup. Another crossing in Bårslöv not far away has another cantilever whit a one of a kind LED lights.

Ser fram emot det! Betyder det att tågen använde nästan hela Västkustbanan?

@mansnylind-alevelcrossings6033 3 ай бұрын

Mycket riktigt! Två av totalt fyra tåg Göteborg - Kalmar t.o.r. kördes via Västkustbanan ner till Kattarp där man vek av in på Skånebanan. De andra två kördes via Markarydsbanan

Intressant! Undrar hur det skulle sett ut från någon som trainspottade på Västkustbanan den dagen. Känns också som en lite väl lång omledning

Är detta den mest unika övergången i Sverige? eller finnbs det en annan

@WatermelonCatLeo Finns en hel del korsningar som är udda på ett eller annat sätt. Vad jag vet finns bara två korsningar i landet med den här typen av ljussignal så den är definitivt en av de mest unika

Yeah, we came to Sweden sometime in the late 80’s. The Swedish Railways were doing some tests to improve grade grossing visibility from greater distance back then, and one of these included US-style lights like us. So we’ve been sitting here since then doin’ railroad crossing light business just like our Swedish workmates
