Very good video! Love the effort you put into this, and you've covered literally all equipment there is!

[@TazzieTransport]

Thanks!!! That was the aim of the game!

[@HybridBell]

Excellent video! Really well done compilation. Incredible knowledge and dedication. I learned a lot about some crossing ‘equpiment’ I have never seen before. Keep it up.

[@TazzieTransport]

Thanks!!

[@TrainsInAdelaide]

Nice video! You have complete knowledge of all the equipment at railway crossings. I do want to start taking pictures of crossing equipment too soon!

[@TazzieTransport]

There’s some really cool stuff in SA I saw while visiting like LEX-C, I’d definitely start taking pictures before it’s replaced!

[@McKHAust]

Great video, well researched and nice editing :)

[@TazzieTransport]

Thanks!!

[@trainman758]

Nice video:)

[@TazzieTransport]

Thanks!

I’m honestly really surprised that Australia uses GRS railway equipment. Where I’m from, there quite common on the Southern Tier line. NTM there headquarters are in Rochester NY as well. I also wanted to ask if you know who manufactured the pedestrian alarms in Queensland?

[@TazzieTransport]

The Pedestrian alarms in Queensland are interesting as there’s a few different types I believe, or at least a few different sounding ones. It’s kinda a Barker Technic situation where the sound board usually isn’t in the alarm system at the crossing, it’s usually in the relay box
I’ve noticed Audio Technic, Unmarked and I think there’s another type of speaker used. Not 100% sure, but I’ll have more knowledge after my QLD trip next September!

Another piece of equipment you didn't add is the WA style rectangular lights

[@TazzieTransport]

Those are just normal lights with a background put over, I haven’t got a photo of them bc I haven’t been to wa

Very professional, informative video.
