[@JawTooth]

Great video again Vincent as always!! Thumbs up!!

[@FreedomtowerStudios]

+Jaw Tooth Thank You my friend!

[@JawTooth]

Freedomtowerman Productions Your welcome!!

[@TheTrainStationinc]

Typical how in the last video when the crossing gates goes up traffic proceeds through the red traffic light. Great video, as always!

[@FreedomtowerStudios]

+wisecrac99 Yep, i've been here several times, and i have not yet seen a car wait for the light to turn green. Also i think the light is too long once the gates rise. Thank you so much my friend!

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

It's Joisey

[@markandrebailey]

Dude, I grew up in Belmar, 69-74. spent lots of time at the crossings by the elementary school and the station crossings. Back when the CNJ operated. Thanks.

Mark-Andre Bailey I started staying at the guest houses until I could get a nice rental house finally got one and moved there on 11th ave I love it

[@freebrickproductions]

The bell at13th Avenue is actually a WCH bell. Love those WRRS gate mechs though!

[@FreedomtowerStudios]

***** okay, thanks for the correction, i'll fix it. So do I, there is a ton of them on this line still.

[@TRRCMM-9669]

I just realized something, the gate on the back side of the crossing goes up a bit faster than the one on the side you're standing on.

[@DoubleGG5666]

Awesome video! I'd say the coast line is definitely the best place to go if you want old crossing signals, there's still a few in Point Pleasant I need to do!

[@FreedomtowerStudios]

Yoshi the Railfanner Thank You Grant! I have to agree, although the ones in Point Pleasant got upgraded i think.

[@DoubleGG5666]

Freedomtowerman Productions I went railfanning on the CSX River Line yesterday and uploaded all my videos, but I think you'll like the last 2, and you'll HEAR why :)

[@FreedomtowerStudios]

Yoshi the Railfanner Were did you go on the river line?

[@DoubleGG5666]

Freedomtowerman Productions I went to various crossings, but tried to do all the ones with old signals on them.

[@freebrickproductions]

It also seems like the first crossing has a blown bulb in one of the lights.

[@FreedomtowerStudios]

***** You are correct, the right light on the right signal's bulb is out.

[@TykellTruitt]

I realized at every crossing the gated signals on the right take the longest to rise. Awesome catch btw.

[@davidsteiner782]

good job ilove it

[@markandrebailey]

I also remember the Asbury Park station crossing with a shanty man operating hydraulic crossing gates!!!

[@theunboxers8658]

On one of those trains that passed by when you were on 16th street millenniumforce was riding on it and you were waving your hat at it.

[@FreedomtowerStudios]

+Theun Boxers Yes he was, and in his video, he filmed me standing filming this train

[@WheatShaw]

They don't have these in oregon over here with the sidewalk ones. I have yet to see a video of the flashing lights above the X and below the X like we have here in oregon in a few places. I may have to do a video.

[@FreedomtowerStudios]

i would love to watch that video

[@WheatShaw]

Freedomtowerman Productions Sure thing. I'll aim for next tuesday when Im not working next.

[@Virtuflight]

5:25 I ate to the Left at that restaurant

[@RaisedLetter]

I went to 8th and 7th Ave recently. Actually met NJT4218 (Liam) there. Not to mention a great Mexican place right next to 8th Ave. Guy Fieri from Diners, Drive Ins & Dives went there. That have great molé and burritos.

[@FreedomtowerStudios]

The Bigmindcreator AKA Elliot Thats cool. I want to meet him sometime and railfan with him. I've seen that place, but not actually been inside.

[@RaisedLetter]

I met him on coincidence. 10th Ave Burrito's good like no other though. Perfect ending to my day down there.

[@WheatShaw]

oh! nice little gate for the sidewalky walk! xD I love it.

[@ethanstein42]

nice video vincent

[@FreedomtowerStudios]

Ethan Stein Thank You Ethan

[@realimbored668]

What happened to the mast with the mismatched brand/sized lights?

[@FreedomtowerStudios]

***** What do you mean?

[@realimbored668]

The closer one with mostly 8 inch heads but has a 12 inch head (hence why I called it mismatched) As in did it get hit by something, or did anything happen to it that might have damaged it?

[@FreedomtowerStudios]

***** Oh that signal, i honestly dont know what happened to that signal. Maybe the light there got damanged so they put the 12x24 inch light up, i really dont know.

[@realimbored668]

Freedomtowerman Productions meh that's okay, even though you know a lot about railfanning I can't expect you to know everything, because that would be too demanding Also if you come to Illinois just film as many crossings in Chicago and its suburbs and you'll have 6 months of content you could use as scheduled uploads in case shit hits the fan for any reason

[@FreedomtowerStudios]

***** I am planning a trip out to Chacigo, just dont know when yet, need more money first.

[@mwilliams6242]

Great video! In the last part of the clip how close is the station to the crossing?

[@FreedomtowerStudios]

+M Williams Thank You so much!!! About a block away from the crossing

[@Ih8kone]

Very

[@garyph4]

Is that amtark horn

[@FreedomtowerStudios]

+Gary Rocero Could be, but its NJ Transit

[@davidsteiner782]

david steiner good job

[@JMANWiSS]

Crossing #1 Lenses need to be cleaned or your camera isn't picking up the light.

[@FreedomtowerStudios]

JMAN123436 Its the sunlight, the sun was behind me and the lights are not very bright so with the sun, it looks like they are off. Also the right light on the right hand signal of crossing #1, the bulb is burnt out

[@notyafet6929]

Why does NJ transit is like 5 minutes to get to a crossing while a CSX Freight would have been finished

[@eastcoastrailproductions5559]

Yaf Hype first of its 15 to 25 seconds and second it’s safer

[@AmtrakProductions]

Nice!

[@FreedomtowerStudios]

Amtrak produtions Thank you

[@AmtrakProductions]

8th ave has new bells!

[@FreedomtowerStudios]

8th ave in Belmar? I know

[@AmtrakProductions]

I like prefer safetran m bells but thats becuase there rare on the upper part of MA

[@FreedomtowerStudios]

Amtrak produtions I grew up listening to these bells.

[@JoshuaTheTransitProdigy]

**152nd Like**

[@weatherdan882002]

Hehe, everyone goes through the red light at the end...

[@FreedomtowerStudios]

weatherdan882002 Yeah, the timing on that traffic light is poor, takes too long for it to change to green
