This train was leading a great trio

[@calpeninsularailfan]

Las Vegas has so far the best background I've ever seen

[@josiahduarte5947]

The 8163 has the best GEVO and horn.

[@milesjones6851]

You got that right!

[@carbon2983]

my friend, taylorover9001 , caught canadian pacifics on crossings with gate motors like that.canadian pacific has gate motors like that on 4 crossings in winnipeg, mb, canada

[@GMTX-kg8ep]

I just remembered. There is a way that the stoplights are involved. They probably don't flash but when there's a train, the lights just remain red. In the future I need to get a video here. Back when I was 6 years old, one time we were leaving the fashion show mall and a train was passing this crossing and the traffic lights were stuck red until the train passed. My dad claims he saw a no turn light here when we first moved to Nevada and yet, was three years old back then. The only thing is, if there was a no turn signal, wouldn't I have seen a picture at some point?

[@MobileRailSpotterRxR]

(Update January 17, 2016) The EM Signals at this crossing are now gone. They been replaced with the new Siemens/Safetran signals with NEG Electronic Bells and WCH 2nd Generation LEDs.

[@MobileRailSpotterRxR]

They were replaced sometime in 2015.

[@GMTX-kg8ep]

Why does UP insist on removing legendary signals so much?? The Griswolds are gone here, and they're gone on Wyoming avenue too! It's not like wig wags so they should give these fun EM signals a chance gosh dang it! I don't want to whip UP so bad, they're my favorite railroad but every railroad should keep the Griswold signals!

[@MobileRailSpotterRxR]

Railfan Brony Yeah they replace them due to the manufacturers for EM signals stop making parts so when something breaks in these or if they get damaged they can't fix them so UP every summer goes around replacing the rest of the EM signals that are still at crossings because of that. The latest EM Signal that was replaced here in Sacramento was at West Elkhorn Blvd because it was completely destroyed in a car roll over accident.

[@GMTX-kg8ep]

+MobileRailSpotterRxR oh my! I thought they were able to just go with Safetran/Siemens, WCH or Invensys Rail. But I do know. I first learned about Griswold when I was filming my crappy video on Ivanpah road and I looked the company up to see what they made and they didn't discontinue Griswold EM's; Griswold's closed down all together so, yeah. Now that you mentioned it to me, I'd better check the Ivanpah road crossing! They aren't gate signals but they're Griswold's according to the bases. Oh god! I'd better check them soon.

[@MobileRailSpotterRxR]

Railfan Brony​​ Yeah what I ment about the Safetran signals were the Siemens and Invensys Rail signals. Their basically still Safetran signals just that Siemens and Invensys Rail put their logos on them since that's who makes the Safetran signals. UP only installed those as new now. They install WCH signals that are used only now. What I also ment when I said was discontinued was that Griswold closed out and Safetran started making EM signals just like you said. Griswold and RACO is what made Safetran. The EM signals at Wyoming Ave were Griswold and the ones at W Desert Inn Road were Safetran.

[@FreedomtowerStudios]

Awesome Video my Friend! I love the old Griswold gate motors, but hate those WC Hayes e-bells Nice UP power too!

[@MobileRailSpotterRxR]

Thanks! UP has a lot of these Griswold motors. Some of them have Safetran on them to.

[@DoubleGG5666]

Good catch, I think that's the NEWEST GEVO on their roster!

[@MobileRailSpotterRxR]

Thanks! That's the same thing I was thinking when I saw that GEVO.

[@ghosttrain312]

The horn is a K5HL variant. I forget which one. This one has a good tone to it.

[@milesjones6851]

Awesome catch

[@GMTX-kg8ep]

I'm not promising but, I'm going to this crossing on Saturday.

[@Crossingman18]

Nice catch buddy! New GEVO running good!

[@MobileRailSpotterRxR]

Thanks!

[@GMTX-kg8ep]

The new signals I'm sure are okay, it won't be the same without the bells in this video though.

[@ThatCarGuy2]

Awesome catch!!!!!!!!!! Cool video

[@MobileRailSpotterRxR]

+UP 5199 Productions Thanks!

Take me back to vegas 😩😩

[@kirklonnquist3265]

awesome video. I wish this line was a lot busier.

[@MobileRailSpotterRxR]

+Kirk Lonnquist Thanks!

[@Anthony_therockstar]

I passed that intersection all the time

[@GMTX-kg8ep]

I hate the new crossing bells! They're not as loud as the old ones were.

[@99carnot]

Great view of the UP power! Liked:)

[@MobileRailSpotterRxR]

Thanks!

[@anamariav8]

I subed you! Awesome catch!

[@MobileRailSpotterRxR]

Thanks! I subbed back.

[@99carnot]

Thanks for subbing. I may be posting some train spotting on my channel. I do like trains, so it is nice to see your videos:)

[@BNSF36542]

@@MobileRailSpotterRxR Are there any other crossings that you know of and how much action does UP have usually in the area?

[@willberestartingthischanne9984]

Nice Video

[@MobileRailSpotterRxR]

Thanks!

[@SouthernPacificRailfanner]

This replaced now haha am I right am I right?

[@oakcreekrailroadproduction3907]

According to google maps yes

[@GMTX-kg8ep]

I think Harmon merged with Modern Industries, another huge cantilever producer. Does WCH make cantilevers or just the gates and bells?

[@MobileRailSpotterRxR]

Yes they did merge with MI. Far as I know WCH makes just the mast signals.

[@GMTX-kg8ep]

MobileRailSpotterRxR I remember WCH made a small cantilever (A760). Those are the long thin ladderless cantilevers. Mount Vernon, IL has lots of them on the EvWR Evansville local branch. Do you remember my videos of the Broadway Street crossing? That crossing used to have two amazing Griswold or WCH cantilevers. They were pulled out as of December 2015 before I was on here. Either because UP is retiring their aging signals or a car slammed it. There was an accident in November 2015. Wasn't as serious as Athens Avenue but, the signal could've been hit and had to be replaced. They also made a no turn light that was semi legendary. The Type A-457.

[@MobileRailSpotterRxR]

Railfan Brony Oh yeah I forgot about those ones that look like the traffic signals. Theirs like non of those on the West Coast. I thought they were made by Federal Signal before they became WCH.

[@GMTX-kg8ep]

MobileRailSpotterRxR crazy huh?

Electro-Tech LEDs (Fade)

Why do you keep typing LEDs into the comments? If you telling me I already know what they are.
