Fillmore & Western on the West part of the Santa Paula Branch with many RARE Railroad Crossings

[@tylerroberts1276]

Seeing that classic locomotive and that classic car at 8:23 makes for a great photo. It could easily be the 1950's and you wouldn't know (aside from the newer cars behind them LOL).

[@TheCandoRailfan]

The sound of those mechanical bells are beautiful!

[@ghostface1832]

3:23 is one of my favorite parts because it has the old school Crossing signal and the lights and the bell look so old school nice catch tho!👍🏻🎊🚂🚂🚂❤️🏳️‍🌈🫶🏻

[@38yofrmut]

But still, all in all, almost every former SP & WP line throughout Calif, still have the original signals including lenses, gates, bells, etc. Why can't it be like that everywhere else?

[@CoasterFan2105]

Ok, I also noticed that they changed the horn on it. Didn't this one used to have an M3 and does 100 still have the P5?

[@atlantis0v-104]

It's bell sounds like wabash f7 no. 1189

[@pendolydogames]

Один кайф слушать на эти звонки, на гудок Emd-f7a, а так же на проезд по переезду. В общем видео супер.

[@CoasterFan2105]

Why did they re-number that one to 10?

[@atlantis0v-104]

I think wabash f7 1189 is in disguise

[@Michaelmyers91647]

Fillmore wastern f7a 101

[@damirbasic8028]

You are right the number 1 was peiled of ​@@Michaelmyers91647

[@ZaneTheRailfan]

I think the numbers fell off from 100's numberboard changing it to 10

[@petersab8771]

Love the bulldogs, even when they are going slow, they look fast

[@NS3210]

Nice video! Mechanical bells everywhere it seems like on this line with some small exceptions. I love filming where mech bells are at! Good M3 too

[@ChachaChapati]

Inland Ventura Country is very scenic. Nice footage.

[@northstar2007]

Gotta love those EMD f's awesome to see them humming

[@carryonbags4552]

I miss the sounds of these old crossings.

[@carryonbags4552]

oooh i like the one @4:05 alot

[@BurlingtonNorthernModeler]

They sure have some classic railroad crossing siginals

[@DoubleGG5666]

Well the third crossing has a weird light setup that sort of looks like a cantilever

[@38yofrmut]

So sad. The Elder Creek Rd crossing in Sacramento had these type of signals you see at the beginning of the video (originally masts without gates, gates & gate base added later on) & now they've been replaced with boring newer UP signals. (sigh) That's life. Things wear out.

[@CATransitFan17]

Those signals were gated from the beginning. That's just how the SP installed them in the late 60s to the mid 70s.

[@38yofrmut]

CATransitFan17 I think you're referring to the crossing in Santa Paula. I'm talking about the original signals that were at the following crossings in Sacramento & Elk Grove: Elder Creek Rd, Calvine Rd, Sheldon Rd, Bond Rd, & Grant Line Rd, having grown up in both places. I remember distinctly all 5 of these crossings were gateless until about '76 or '77. & that's when I remember seeing SP workers attatching/installing these gate bases & these particular type of crossing arms, sometimes referred to as "triangle" gates, at these crossings. Because there was a big safety concern back then in the mid 70s w/making these crossings more safer. & someone my parents knew who worked for SP, said this was a more cost-effective way to improve theses crossings.

[@loulewis844]

is this part of the fillmore & western still in operation? i have heard in the past the shortline having problems with the county government.

[@DoubleGG5666]

Love that crossing with the unique cantilever. Those first signals look like raco signals, but the bells sound JUST like the ones on my video of Red Lion Road. Do you know what they are?

[@freddiewill1949]

Why did some of the crossing signals went off for a brief second and went back on, is there a malfunction or something?

[@TrainsNStuff]

Is that old car yours at 4:38? Nice shots.

[@sandiegotrafficlightstrain354]

Incandescent flashing lights, Incandescent gates, mechanical bells, doesnt get any better than that.

[@tomz1daful]

Here in 2019?

[@STUAA2024]

The pedestrian crossings at 2:38 and 11:40

[@TheCandoRailfan]

So slow at 6:41, the crossing didn't activate until the train was AT the crossing! lol

[@xaviertherailfannerold]

Nice!

[@DenverRailfanHD]

at 7:11 was that a Former SP engine?

[@Drowsy_Tyler]

Yep just repainted to say flimore and western railway

[@lukes2ndchannel982]

What's that first gate mech?

[@Ferromexfan4081]

WABCO Triangular

[@Rebel9668]

what's the deal with the crossing fetish? I thought I was going to be watching a clip of a train and instead someone apparently wanted to take pictures of crossings with deafening bells. At least you have them, most of the crossings around here only have wood crossbucks...hell, most of the line through this area still has semaphore signals installed by the monon in 1910, lmao.

[@Matheny1950]

I have such a "fetish"! Have considered dueling or out-of-sync crossing bells music since I was able to hear them in my childhood. I am deaf today.

[@38yofrmut]

Because signals go with trains. That's why lots of model RR layouts have working signals. & these vintage signals are neat! Especially to railroad fans & traffic engineers.

[@Matheny1950]

***** Another "fetish" I have is for oscillating headlights which we just don't see anymore, and that darling old #101 had them! I wanted to see the lights sweep the tracks at night.

[@Rebel9668]

I suppose I just take the signals for granted. I've never seen any except for the old mechanical kind around here. Most of the old telegraph poles are still up on the line through here and still have the old glass insulators on them ya see in antique stores everywhere o_O.

[@WheatShaw]

it most definitely is a fetish I pretend the flashing lights are boobies and the rest of the body doesn't matter.

[@rockyracoon3233]

Its being pushed.
