An Australian Level Crossing Equipment Guide

[@pawfan]

For a model railroader, this collage helps quite a bit...Thanks! Well done!

[@HybridBell]

Excellent video! Really well done compilation. Incredible knowledge and dedication. I learned a lot about some crossing ‘equpiment’ I have never seen before. Keep it up.

[@TazzieTransport]

Thanks!!

[@TrainsInAdelaide]

Nice video! You have complete knowledge of all the equipment at railway crossings. I do want to start taking pictures of crossing equipment too soon!

[@TazzieTransport]

There’s some really cool stuff in SA I saw while visiting like LEX-C, I’d definitely start taking pictures before it’s replaced!

[@therailrangervmtg8658]

Very good video! Love the effort you put into this, and you've covered literally all equipment there is!

[@TazzieTransport]

Thanks! (for the second part at least...)

I’m honestly really surprised that Australia uses GRS railway equipment. Where I’m from, there quite common on the Southern Tier line. NTM there headquarters are in Rochester NY as well. I also wanted to ask if you know who manufactured the pedestrian alarms in Queensland?

[@TazzieTransport]

The Pedestrian alarms in Queensland are interesting as there’s a few different types I believe, or at least a few different sounding ones. It’s kinda a Barker Technic situation where the sound board usually isn’t in the alarm system at the crossing, it’s usually in the relay box I’ve noticed Audio Technic, Unmarked and I think there’s another type of speaker used. Not 100% sure, but I’ll have more knowledge after my QLD trip next September!

Another piece of equipment you didn't add is the WA style rectangular lights

[@TazzieTransport]

Those are just normal lights with a background put over, I haven’t got a photo of them bc I haven’t been to wa

[@guardedbusofficial9242]

Wch cantilever is weird with the light

[@Danshi09]

You forgot Victoria before nsw Can you fix it?

[@unkn0wn_1-b1i]

What are HSI’s and what do they do?

[@TazzieTransport]

Healthy State Indicators - They help train drivers confirm that a crossing is properly activated from a large distance away, especially at night. Basically a beacon that turns on and off to indicate active crossings to train drivers. Side lights on crossing lights do a similar job.
