Terima kasih!

Thanks! I was planning to go take a bit more footage, but I didn’t realise it was too late because there’s Coach replacements for the Gippsland line, but these clips will do I guess. Although thinking about it now, Metro probably still uses the crossing for stabling trains at East Pakenham during the off-peak periods Also I definitely agree with you in that the road is really busy, the times I was there the traffic would be going by nonstop for a good 5-10 minutes or so 😅

This is in the state of Victoria, which is located in Australia.

@@pengo34789 No wonder I didn't recognize it .

Thanks mate! :D

Yep, makes sense seeing how they're only ~100 metres apart from each other.

Nice! Definitely sounded nice with the Steam Loco on one end and the Tait on the other :)

Yeah, I was suprised as it was the first time I had seen them before, so I would say they’re pretty rare. I was honestly just expecting the crossing to have the usual Westinghouse crossarms, lights, etc

Not really, I just felt like documenting it as it was a coincidence while filming this crossing; but yeah the crossing will be gone in a few months

Yeah, I guess so, my guess is that the train was stopped at a red signal waiting for a free platform at Pakenham Station, while also on the crossing circuit. After a while, the crossing timed out as the train didn’t move for 2 minutes or so, then reactivated when the train started moving again.

Are you crazy, this sort of bad functioning causes people to drive around the gates and other unsafe attitudes to railway warnings.

While I do agree with you in that it may encourage people to drive around the gates, in my experience, in Melbourne, I have never seen someone drive around boom gates. The most ‘risky’ thing I have seen is just running through the crossing when the lights activate but the booms haven’t gone down, or at a crossing without gates. However, my perspective is only from a Victorian one, so the attitude to level crossings in other states/countries may be different.

I don’t really have an exact date other than this year (2024), but the station looks like it’s still in the middle of being built, although the rail viaducts seem practically done, other than a bit of electrical wiring.

Oops 😅 yeah I was a bit confused as to which one it was, I was just going off my Melways Oh well, guess I’ll have to fix it later Edit: I fixed it :)

@@pengo34789 thanks 👍

Unfortunately, yes :((( At least we have video documentation 👍

@@pengo34789 yeah i guess so

Yes, once both of the flyover tracks are completed, the level crossing will be removed, with the trains running overhead.
