Railroad Crossings of the LA Metro L Line (Union Station - Pasadena)

[@lambdamoses6837]

Oh I miss LA! When I lived there, these grade crossings were so routine, but now I moved away, I miss them so much, since not every big city has them.

[@threepea1151]

[@metrorailinlosangelesprodu4407]

It’s the A Line now . The blue line . Good video

[@threepea1151]

I’ll always call it the gold line

[@CoastalOCRailfan]

Great video and crossings! Congrats on 100 Subs!

[@threepea1151]

Thanks!

[@LRF_101]

Nice!!! It’s funny how there is that strange font on the crossbucks and mostly the lights are incandescent lights

[@threepea1151]

Yea it is strange indeed

[@sgtdebones]

Retro highway gothic font (probably handmedowms from ATSF) and Harmon incandescents

[@Lucrativecris]

You know it’s funny that the blue line had their railroad crossings replaced with leds in the 2000s but metro is too stubborn to change the gold line ones

[@onhiatus526]

11:15 They should add a second train coming warning system, as there's another train coming

[@threepea1151]

Probably yea

[@kcmorailfan4784]

Nice video! I've noticed how some of the crossings on this line have their bells set to ring the entire time while some have theirs only ring from startup, until the gates lower.

[@threepea1151]

Thanks!

[@alexanderbanos8125]

UPDATE: All railroad crossings along the original Gold Line (later L Line in 2020) are now part of the Blue Line (A Line since 2020), with the Regional Connector now complete. The A Line took over the L Line running towards Pasadena and Azusa, finally accomplishing LA Metro's original vision of the "Pasadena Blue Line".

[@threepea1151]

Im always gonna call it the gold line

[@Ploryandyoopfan]

Nice video

[@threepea1151]

Thanks

[@ThePeelRegionTransitChannel]

Almost all of these crossing bells are western cullen hayes e bells

[@threepea1151]

Ye

[@alexanderbanos8125]

Do you know that all railroad crossings among the Metro Gold Line (original 2003 segment) had GS type 2 electronic bells until possibly 2006 or 2007 when they all got replaced with WCH electronic bells.

[@threepea1151]

Actually most of them were WCH Type 1 E-Bells

[@threepea1151]

@Alexander Banos I actually discovered in a commerical that the mission street/meridian ave crossing used to have Mechanical bells that were replaced at some point, possibly more signals had them too

[@mikebritton8798]

I've always had a fascination for these signals, though I have to say that I've never come to grips with e-bells. Maybe I'm just having an off day, but it seems like most of the bells in this video are grating my nerves worse than usual. 😬

[@verenicemiron6426]

IDK if they will replace the gates, since WCH was very common in the 2000s

[@verenicemiron6426]

I ment to say crossing, not gates

[@threepea1151]

Yea

[@sgtdebones]

*El Centro St/Glendon Wy

[@Lucrativecris]

The rarest type of railroad crossings that people never get to see are the grey ones

[@gamerailfanning098]

i am ur 700th subscriber im late asf lol

[@aaronj.brooks1977]

The L Line ( Gold Line) now the A Line ( Blue Line) from Azusa to Long Beach

[@Lucrativecris]

8:20 odd combo an led with a halogen bulb

[@Ur_Depressed_Railfan]

Why do some of the bells have things mounted on them

[@threepea1151]

So the sound will travel a certain way
