Level Crossing, Wingfield SA, Australia.

The first activation is shown at 4:35
This is the Cormack Road level crossing at Wingfield, South Australia. It is located on the privately owned BlueScope Steel siding.
The crossing has no train detection and the signals can only be activated manually. Both signals had Western Cullen Hayes bases and unmarked Westinghouse incandescent lights, while the eastern signal also had a Western Cullen Hayes mechanical bell. As of late 2019 these signals have been ripped out and replaced by new gated signals.
The train shown in the video is number 1111S steel products from Adelaide Freight Terminal (Pacific National) to Wingfield, with locomotives NR48 and NR81
Filmed on May 6, 2019.

Great video! This crossing is a favourite of mine, Mechanical Bell, check, Incandescent lights, check, I just wish it didn’t have red crossbucks though. It’s better than most of the other Adelaide crossings though, with Safetran Type 3s and United Group Lights. Installations like this were the norm once in SA.

[@McKHAust]

Thanks! I'm guessing the m-bell and incandescent lights have survived because it's a privately owned crossing, but it's sure nice to see a reminder of what used to be common.

[@MrBnsftrain]

I've never seen those tarpulined cars before! I also like that both locos were missing their side lettering!

[@McKHAust]

The tarpaulin cars are used to transport steel products. I never noticed the missing lettering, so well spotted! I guess they have a few variations of the Pacific National livery.

[@JRussellProductions]

Wow, those Westinghouse Flashers looks nostalgic using old fashioned lightbulbs and not LEDs. Nealy all level crossings in Australia are almost ALL LED's nowdays. good spot.

[@McKHAust]

Thanks! Sadly the signals have been replaced now :(

[@TheBCRailfan]

[@McKHAust]

[@McKHAust]

Thanks!

[@jacktherailwayenthusiast3343]

Nice video, the WCH bell sounds very nice.

[@McKHAust]

Thanks, it does!

[@trainman758]

Nice! It’s great the rather healthy WCH m-bell and incandescent lights have survived so far!

[@McKHAust]

Thanks!

[@BryantsRailfanProductions]

Nice vid & crossing!

[@McKHAust]

Thanks!

[@VictorianRailHeritage]

Great Video and crossing very interesting it has Incandescent lights and a mechanical bell still lots of shunting action I see and the even some drivers jumping the crossing on purpose

[@McKHAust]

Thanks! The police would have a field day if they were at the crossing.

[@VictorianRailHeritage]

McK&H Aust sure would

[@redhen334]

Also I would like to mention, against all odds, the Safetran Type 1 at Mount Barker Junction still works.

[@McKHAust]

Awesome!

[@adambahouche366]

That is so rare, that’s a Cormack Road Rail Crossing with mechanical bells, well done

[@McKHAust]

Thanks!

[@JamesJimmaHarding]

Incandescent lights and an M-bell? what a great find! A red crossbuck on a set of incandescents is unusual too, this is the first time i've seen it outside of QLD!

[@McKHAust]

Thanks!

[@wishbone8985]

11:03 everyone in a hurry to not stop!

[@McKHAust]

Yes, they all pretend they didn't see the flashing lights.

[@saustfootball]

You got there in time to see the m-bell...it's been 'upgraded' now. I can't say what sort of e-bell, but there's no m-bell. There's also boom gates there, too.

[@adambahouche366]

saustfootball safetran type 3 e bell and WCH E bell

[@Brianrockrailfan]

great video :)

[@McKHAust]

Thanks!

[@AH137productions]

Great video. This crossing is really nice. Great that it still has the mechanical bell. Cool,freight trains . How did you know when to film the trains ?

[@McKHAust]

Thanks! I didn't really know when a train would show up, just waited for a couple of hours. It was a Monday morning so I thought maybe there would be a train for the start of the working week.

[@oldtimeradiooldtimeradio9274]

How often does a train a train go to that location in Wingfield.

[@AH137productions]

Not sure

[@McKHAust]

@@oldtimeradiooldtimeradio9274 I doubt there would be any fixed timetable, just whenever the customer requires a train. I'm thinking it could be any weekday morning as they would need most of the day to unload the wagons. Looking at the siding layout there doesn't seem to be a great deal of room so I'm guessing the unloaded wagons would have to be collected again before more loading could be brought in, so maybe the empties are collected by another train in the evening?

[@VT29steamtrain]

Any scedule to when trains come, found this place on google maps accidentally and want too see some mechanical bells in action at a new place

[@redhen334]

Trains come here usually between 6:30 and 9:00 AM, but they can do it anytime they like. They also come at night but the time is more varied there.

[@VT29steamtrain]

@@redhen334 so what time were u there

[@jacktherailwayenthusiast3343]

Is the Godfrey Street level crossing at Boort disused and does it still have it's teardrop bell?

[@McKHAust]

I've never been to Boort so I don't know if the teardrop is still there, I'm guessing no. I do know that the crossing is still used, as QUBE have began running a new intermodal train out of Ultima.

[@jacktherailwayenthusiast3343]

Unfortunately the teardrop bell has been replaced with a Safetran Type 3 according to this video of Greensleeves94, the semaphore signal survives and works as well! The crossing appears at 2:34: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4CcYqSKr6x0pLc

[@VT29steamtrain]

THIS CROSSING HAS RECIEVED A SAFETRAN T3 AND WCH 777 E BELL COMBO, LED DOUBLELIGHTS ON EACH POLE AND A NEW CROSSBUCK (AGAIN WITH TAGETBOARD)

[@McKHAust]

Yes rip, very sad to see the old signals gone :(
