Old Railroad Crossings On The North Jersey Coast Line

[@georgemurphy2579]

I remember that some crossings had manual gates and they were black/white striped instead of the red/white ones we see nowadays. Old signal pedestals are still seen along the right of way, but there are newer masts and posts in service.

[@HarrisonPeloso]

love all the old crossings over some of the newer ones

[@mainlineproductions513]

Same! Just wish I thought of this video sooner, would've been able to grab a few more crossings, but I'm still glad I was able to film this many.

Awesome right in the center of my hometown belmar love that place keep it up

[@justinmoss101]

Great video! love to see these older crossings in action. There was a crossing near me that was being upgraded to the newer style crossing gates a couple of months ago. They literally ripped out the old signals with a front end loader. Fortunately I was able to save one of the bells off of one of the old signals before it was sent to the scrap yard.

[@BNSF2184]

Thats awesome. Wish the commuter RRs around here like the CSS still had old crossings like this...

[@carstrainsandcrossings8639]

Some of them aren’t that old but it’s still cool to see that equipment is still being use there

[@KingTriton1837]

I'm loving the pedestrian crossing gates. We have them all over Northern California. Particularly in Sacramento.

[@701cabman]

Nicely done! I noticed the crossing at 7th Ave in Belmar looks as though they have LED's in the 8 inch lights. Will be interesting to see if this is the way they go (as far as any upgrades).

[@mainlineproductions513]

Thanks! Yeah, those LED'S has been in place for a few years. And yeah, it would be cool if they didn't fully upgrade it.

[@freebrickproductions]

Great video! Love all of those older signals!

[@mainlineproductions513]

Thanks! I'm really happy I was able to do this!

[@zyskman78]

Great job!!! All familiar crossings. My area for over 40 years..

[@mainlineproductions513]

Thanks! I'm so glad I was able to get all these crossings filmed!

[@nsays4502]

Hey jersey transit has many of the old crossings

[@mainlineproductions513]

They don’t have much more than a handful though, if you’re talking about the older signals.

[@thomasnativo6491]

These Crossing are so old on North Coast line with NJ Transit

The 5th Avenue Railroad Crossing Is My Favorite Also Sunset Avenue

[@njtrailfanner6267]

I may be wrong but on the newest video of my channel the crossing I railfanned may have been an old one

[@ValleySubRailfan4643]

3:57 that one was recorded by melleniumforce

[@user-TheBestRailfan]

Those crossing signals seem a bit modern to me.

[@mainlineproductions513]

Yeah, some of them are modern than others in the video, or were upgraded overtime. I figured it was worth recording them anyway since they usually go full out when they upgrade most crossings on this line (e-bells, led's, etc.), even though it's more safer.

[@rosejean5298]

ITS...a Double Bell?

[@RicardoSantos-il3ee]

Do you know if any of these crossings and the signals could be from the CNJ days?

[@mainlineproductions513]

I'm not totally sure but if I had to guess, I'd say the crossings with the 8" lights if anything.

[@freebrickproductions]

These ones do, it appears: 5:53 7:14 8:33 9:53 12:10 14:45 17:24 21:52 23:43 25:00 26:12 30:35 32:00 Also, it appears the CNJ was a lot like the L&N and prefered to have the gate mechs on seperate masts.

[@RicardoSantos-il3ee]

freebrickproductions Makes sense about the separate masts. Thanks FreeBrick and Main Line! 👍🏻

Pedestrian Crossing Combo Bell Sounds Weird

Classified second that if a right to live in the state of New jersery as the safest state I've researched it what's new jersery right of Delaware under granite as the power under Delaware

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

is that strictly passenger line only? or shared with freights

[@mainlineproductions513]

Passenger trains only on this part of the Coast Line, as well as an overnight equipment move MM08 (can't remember what nights they go down to Bay Head) . Conrail OI-16 uses the Coast line for a couple miles between Perth Amboy and South Amboy on their way to Browns Yard in Sayreville.

[@georgemurphy2579]

The railroad coaches in NJ look to be unwashed, and those whistles sound like sick goats.

[@sagiselene2943]

what type of bell does NJ use is the WCH mechanical bell or is it safetran?

[@mainlineproductions513]

Which crossings?

[@sagiselene2943]

@@mainlineproductions513 The New Jersey crossings

[@mainlineproductions513]

In New Jersey, it depends. NJT mostly has mechanical bells like WC Hayes, and Safetran, like in this video. Some of their crossings have also been upgraded with Safetran type 3 e-bells, most of which can also be found on this line. Freight railroads like CSX and NS have different e-bells at a lot of their crossings too. Hope this answers your question.
