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?

(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.

They were replaced sometime in 2015.

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!
@MobileRailSpotterRxR8 жыл бұрын
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.

+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.

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.

I think Harmon merged with Modern Industries, another huge cantilever producer. Does WCH make cantilevers or just the gates and bells?
@MobileRailSpotterRxR7 жыл бұрын
Yes they did merge with MI. Far as I know WCH makes just the mast signals.
@GMTX-kg8ep7 жыл бұрын
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.
@MobileRailSpotterRxR7 жыл бұрын
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.
