Railroad Crossings of the FEC Mainline (Part 2)

[@nonstops_aviation]

Might just be me who likes how the bells on the FEC crossings ring when they go down but also when they go up

[@BBT609]

A lot of these crossings have been upgraded because of Brightline. Many did not have electric bells, a lot of crossings dated back to the 70s with old relay equipment. It was cool to go to different crossings and see something different.

[@TheCentralTexasRailfan]

Yeah, Brightline definitely caused a grand purge of most of the interesting crossing equipment on the FEC. A shame to see it all go but I suppose it was in the name of progress.

[@ThePeelRegionTransitChannel]

Fec crossings are all ways the best especially the lights and the way they protect all roads

[@nickreviewsallsortsofstuff604]

Great part 2 Video! Part 1 and 2 are good enough because part 3 you would have to record a lot.

[@CA-Rails-Aviation]

Hampton Road was the crossing that had a seizure in BBT609’s video. Gate kept pumping constantly.

[@BBT609]

Correct! Seen many signal failures since but that one won

[@Ferromexfan4081]

Excellent compilation! I love the 1st and 4th crossings!

[@elu0502]

The Central Texas Railfan no problem!

Great video!

[@TheCentralTexasRailfan]

Thank you!

[@TheRailroadCrossingChannel]

Nice! What radio frequency does the FEC use?

[@TheCentralTexasRailfan]

Not sure.

[@bnsf4715]

By 4 bells do you mean 5. Because there is a few WCH Type 2 E-Bells on the FEC

[@odinconnor-randomvideos5267]

I wonder why FEC does not use WCH E-bells when they use WCH gate mechanisms and lights.

[@TheCentralTexasRailfan]

It is interesting but I suspect that it's because GS bells are slightly cheaper.

[@odinconnor-randomvideos5267]

@@TheCentralTexasRailfan ah ok

[@rochellequinones127]

Usualy the fec RXRs when the gates go up or down the bells ring so they ring anyways but that one question that i have to ask is why dont they leave the bells on?

[@rochellequinones127]

But still nice vid

What about Part 3 of FEC Crossings via Downtown West Palm Beach, Florida? Plus Milepost 300 going northbound thru 295 Control Point Signals meeting 15th 23rd 25th 30th 36th & 45th Streets passes through Nor-Wood track siding. Let me know when your going to post the video footage of area? I've seen first {2} parts of compilation between Miami & Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

[@TheCentralTexasRailfan]

I live in Texas and I only go to Florida once or maybe twice a year; therefore, I don't have anymore videos from Florida.

[@bellantonioabraham3080]

@@TheCentralTexasRailfan will you be returning back to florida at end of this year? Beginning of 2021?

[@Poli1348]

Please do

[@TheCentralTexasRailfan]

Somewhat, except for the RSI LEDs.
