This is the Old Princes Highway level crossing at Monarto South, it is located between Murray Bridge and Adelaide, in South Australia. This was the original route of the road which was later replaced by the current section of freeway located slightly further to the south.
Both signals had McKenzie & Holland bases and Westinghouse LED lights which were mounted on newer style Mckenzie & Holland cross-arms. In what seems to have been common practice in SA, the front facing lights had clear LED's while the rear facing lights had standard red LED's, the reason for this is unknown. The northern signal also had a Safetran type 3 electronic bell.
During May 2024, these old signals were replaced with brand new gate-less signals. The new signals comprise of Western Cullen Hayes bases, new style Westinghouse LED lights and a new Siemens electronic bell. I have no intention of filming the new signals.
The train seen in the video is 2PM5 freight from Perth to Melbourne, with locomotives NR44 and NR39.
