Level Crossing, Ovingham SA, Australia.

The first activation is shown at 2:00, then skip to 5:47
This is the Hawker Street level crossing at Ovingham, South Australia. It is located on the Gawler line and is the first road crossing reached after leaving Adelaide station. The crossing has two broad gauge tracks which are Adelaide Metro's Gawler line, and one standard gauge track on the western side which is the ARTC main line from Melbourne and Adelaide to Crystal Brook.
Both signals have Western Cullen Hayes bases, GRS gate mechanisms, Alstom LED lights mounted on GRS brackets and Western Cullen Hayes electronic bells which recently replaced m-bells. The eastern gate has NEG gate lights while the western gate has Unipart Rail gate lights.
The western side of the crossing has two traffic signals which operate in conjunction with the crossing and also separately to prevent vehicles from entering the crossing when there is a build-up of traffic at the nearby Park Terrace intersection.
Train information:
The first scene at 2:00 shows a 4000 class electric train being towed by 3000 class diesel railcars from Adelaide Metro's Dry Creek depot to Adelaide station.
The last train is 1AD8 "The Ghan" from Adelaide (Keswick Terminal) to Darwin, with locomotives NR75 and NR74.
All other trains shown are regular Adelaide Metro passenger services operating between Adelaide and Gawler.
Filmed on May 4 and 5, 2019.

Great video! A good thing about level crossing having traffic signals is that they can be obeyed more easily most of the time

My favorite railway crossings are the ones with traffic signals, such as this one. There are quite a few of them in Melbourne, where there's a T intersection or pedestrian crossing, for instance.

Nice how it has traffic lights on top of the two flashing red lights 🚦

[@VictorianRailHeritage]

Great Video And Crossing! The WC Hayes Electronic Bells are really nice

[@trainman758]

Nice video! Shame the m-bells are gone now though the new e-bells aren’t to bad... Went on that train at

[@AH137productions]

Great video . Very nice crossing. Sad that the m bells got replaced. I don’t like how Adelaide metro are now using red background crossbucks. Still good stuff

[@trainco1643]

Keep up your awesome work! I remember coming to this crossing and seeing some passenger trains and a light movement of DL31

Awesome!

[@adambahouche366]

That’s a good crossing there! I was the lucky person to record the mechanical bells before they got replaced. :( You can watch my Hawker Street video, there’s M bells there

[@freebrickproductions]

Great video and crossing! Looks like the NEG gate light closest to the signal is incandescent while the middle one is LED. Not sure on the tip gate light.

Great video! The eastern signal originally had a WCH 333 bell, the first gen one with a WRRS style base, and the western signal had a WRRS 222 Bell. Good thing Adelaide Metro doesn’t replace gate mechs, that must be why there are so many vintage gate mechs left. Also, did you know this crossing was actually a bridge at first? They ended up demolishing the bridge and they replaced it with this crossing, using these signals. For my 100th subscriber celebration , I’m re-releasing my Hawker St videos all in one video, and I am improving the photos and overall how the video is presented to fit in with my editing style nowadays.

[@sreejiths2702]

is this automatic or manually controlled?

[@Brianrockrailfan]

great video McK&H Aust :) more level crossings should have traffic lights

[@JamesJimmaHarding]

Such a shame you weren't in time to get the WCH bell. Though at least they went with WCH e-bells instead of the usual Safetran type 3's for variety's sake

Yes I agree thay should look into doing the same for Adelaide South Australia it may just save a lot of accident's both with traffic and podestrens waiting for both Adelaide Metro train's and or the freight train's it would be more safe for both the train driver's and pasingers pice of mine all people get to go home safely and the train driver's get to also go home noing that thay have done the job and done the job very well and with 😀😀😀😀 smiley's on faces when thay get home after a hard day's or night's work it's not that hard to do if I can do you can do it also it would mean a lot to both the train driver's and your self ok
