Ringwood, Level Crossing, Vic, Australia

This is the Bedford Road Level Crossing in Ringwood, Victoria. Both gated signals have Safetran gate mechanisms, wishbone gates, Artcraft gate lights, Westinghouse bases, crossarms, incandescent lights and Hybrid bells. The two gateless signals also feature the same equipment consisting of Westinghouse incandescent lights and unmarked bases. This crossing is one of 4 crossings that still retain Westinghouse Hybrid bells within the electrified Metro network in Melbourne. This level crossing is also due to be removed within the next few years.

Thanks! Yes I love the hybrids and incandescent lights! It's nice to see some different equipment other than what I usually see in NSW for a change:)

The Belgrave Line will be level crossing free between the city and Ferntree Gully by 2025 by removing Bedford Road level crossing in Ringwood by lowering the tracks beneath the road into a rail trench. And they are making the whole Lilydale Line level crossing free also by 2025 with two new stations at Croydon and Ringwood East. Ringwood East Station will be below ground in a rail trench like Union Station in Mont Albert and Surrey Hills, and Croydon Station will be elevated with a rail bridge. The Cave Hill Road/Melba Avenue level crossing in Lilydale will be removed by closing it off and building a pedestrian path connecting Lilydale High School.
