Pedestrian Crossing, Hackensack, NJ

originally recorded on 9-12-17
Signal on the left: 1 pair of Safetran 12x24 inch lights, a WCH mechanical bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, and an L&W gate light.
Signal on the right: 1 pair of Safetran 12x24 inch lights, a WCH mechanical bell, a Safetran gate mechanism, and an L&W gate light.
After finishing up my railfanning in Ho-Ho-Kus, I went down to Hackensack, NJ to continue my railfanning. The first train that I caught in Hackensack was a southbound NJT train with a PL42AC for power.
This is another really nice crossing, as it's one of the last few all incandescent crossings along the NJT Pascack Valley Line. I especially love the way the two WCH bells here sound, though for some reason, each signal only has one pair of lights.

That crossing reminds me of the crossings on the North Jersey Coast Line, a lot of them have classic signals and a few even have WRRS bells and 8 inch lights!

I really need to get out there if I ever get back up to New Jersey.

So beautiful train horn 😌😌 I’m about to cry.

[@pacificzonerailfan]

Great catch! It sounds like WRRS and WCH Bells Mixed

[@freebrickproductions]

Both bells are WCH, lol. Though the one on the right is a rusty 1st Gen one. Thanks!

[@lmsrail]

Lol. The cross buck wobbled when the gates started to rise on the right side signal.

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

sometimes they don't maintain them all the way so the bolts get a little loose that's why sometimes until the signal maintainer comes out you might see a crossing missing its crossbuck.

Lol on the wobbly crossbuck. Did they cut the background disc so that the gate mech would fit?

[@freebrickproductions]

Yep.

Is this your first time of catching Tri-rail?

[@freebrickproductions]

Tri-rail? This was the NJTransit and no it wasn't.
