Level Crossing, Dimboola (Ellerman St) VIC, Australia.

The first activation is shown at 5:40
This is the Ellerman Street level crossing at Dimboola. It is located in western Victoria on the branch line from Dimboola to Rainbow which is only used for grain and sees very few trains. Apart from Cemetery Road, Dimboola, this is the only crossing on the line to be protected by signals, with all other crossings having passive protection.
These signals were installed on November 24, 1987. All four signals have unmarked bases and a mixture of marked and unmarked Westinghouse LED lights. A Safetran Type 3 electronic bell is provided on the eastern side of the crossing, while the western median signal has an Artcraft healthy state indicator. For some reason the signals remain activated until train has cleared all track circuits for the crossing, this results in fairly long activation times so some scenes have been edited to reduce the video length.
Train information:
1st train: 9782 loaded grain from Jeparit to Dimboola, with locomotives 8148, X50 and 8142. After a brief pause at Dimboola, the train continued to Portland as 7740V. Filmed on June 14, 2021.
2nd train: 9781 empty grain from Dimboola to Jeparit, with locomotives XR558 and X48. Filmed on January 9, 2022. After loading with grain at Jeparit, the train can be seen returning in the final scenes.
3rd train: 9782 loaded grain from Jeparit to Dimboola, with locomotives X48 and XR558. Filmed on January 9, 2022. After attaching an extra locomotive (G523) at Dimboola, the train continued to Portland as 7740V.

Doesn't the branch line go all the way to Yaapeet?

[@McKHAust]

It used to but the section between Rainbow and Yaapeet has been closed for quite some time.

[@TrickyMario7654]

@@McKHAust Oh, I see.

[@JamesJimmaHarding]

Sad the hybrid bell got replaced but it's great to see the original setup still in tact. Wasn't this line out of action for a long time?

[@McKHAust]

The line was temporarily out of action due to poor track condition but they’ve done a fair bit of sleeper replacement in the last couple of years.

@@McKHAust I think the hybrid bell that used to be on this crossing was mounted "forward-facing" when it was mounted on the signal but I can't quite remember
