My Top 10 Favourite Railway Crossings in Australia

[@Dudedoesstuffright]

my favorite has to be larapinta drive as it was the first crossing in the NT with a cantilever Signal, also the way it used to be a Gateless mechanical bell crossing makes it more unique to other railway crossings prior 2009. Honorable mention: Has to be the Stuart Highway railway crossing on the outskirts of Alice Springs. Despite being replaced by an overpass, it was the last crossing in the NT with Mechanical Bells to my knowledge, also the vibe on how far it is from a civilization is nice. great video tho!

Cheers for the vid, dude :) NW Vic (Wimmera/Mallee area) is a good place to visit if you like nice, secluded rural crossings. Especially those on the Murtoa-Hopetoun line - I grew up near that line in the '80s when it went as far as Patchewollock. Closer to Melb, the Stony Point line has some good crossings, too - definitely worth checking out. Also, if you get a chance, I recommend you go & check out the crossings over in Tassie, they have some really interesting ones with some beautiful scenery, especially in rural areas. Thanks again :)

Glad you enjoyed! I definitely plan to head up north to that area soon, Warracknabeal is on my list. I've also visited Tasmania before, my favourite crossing I visited there was in a place called Rhyndaston, amazing views!

I love that the Leader Street railway crossing in South Australia also has a flashing sign that says “Caution more than one train”.

some of my favs: -Kernot St, Spotswood (a stone's throw from my grandparents' home) -Woomelang, standard level crossing but interesting street layout regards the main roads out of town -Greville St, Prahran for the sound of the bells (could include Spotswood or Yarraville in as well) -I just remember the old white gates and red fire engine lights at Hudson St Spotswood just before they were replaced by boom gates in the early 90s

@@kiosk241-n9p They’re just different types of crossing bells, hard to explain through words so I’d recommend looking for some videos on KZbin! I’d highly recommend Tazzie Transport’s video explaining different types of crossing bells
