Great compilation and video as usual mate! the USA has some really really interesting crossings and longer gates are my second favourite part of railway crossings (bells being my top favourite) so it's cool to see a compilation of them such as this video! Keep up the great work!
Awesome Video! I was told that those stabilizer poles (the one seen at 5:44, Stice Ln crossing) actually harm newer gate mechanisms (Seamens) There is a crossing in Glen Rock that has very long gates like these, and they recently got newer Semens gate mechs and they did away with the stabilizer
Ooh yes i heard that too! Its interesting that they have a negative effect on the gate mechanisms considering they are holding the gate up off the ground along with the gate mechanism. I've never seen a crossing in real life with a stabliser on a crossing in real life as Melbourne doesnt have any...
@@ethanthevictorianrailfan7030 im surprised that Melbourne doesn't put any stabilizers on they're gates some of the crossings in Melbourne have very long gates
@@doorschannel.com12 I think its because a lot of Melbourne’s crossings are wishbone wooden gates so they might not be compatible or something for stabilizers..
You should see the BNSF crossing on 4th St in Marysville, WA; Overland Ave in Burley, ID; and nearby east in Heyburn, ID (former UP line now Eastern Idaho RR, I think). Also very long gates. In fact, some of the masts have to be a little longer too because of the long gate length.
I think Westwood NJ on the Pascack Valley line in Bergen County has some Long gates and probably Essex street in Hackensack at Essex street Station along the Pascack Valley line
Dumont nj had an Upgraded Railroad crossing there gates are long but they do have an E bell that rings a lot while gates are down on the CSX River Subdivision before than in the past in 2000s they used to be Old crossings by Conrail and crossings were 8 inch lights and the bells were Hybrid
Ah long gate arms, longer length coverage, shorter life span.
Great video!
If it was installed less than a decade ago, longer life span.
15:04 this is my favorite bell
Can you go to a railroad crossing with the longest gate you have ever seen?

I like long crossing gates. When they lower, they take a majority of the street so cars can't get through.
Awesome! I love railroad crossing gates
I've seen lots of railroad crossings with long gate arms next time I see them I'm going to take pictures or make videos
I love your videos and why are different sound sounds in south California great I love railroad crossing gates

@@ethanthevictorianrailfan7030 maybe
in the uk almost every level crossings have skirts that hit the ground and they seem to be okay

Franklin Blvd in Sacramento, CA has long gates and next to traffic signals.
I have been the the railroad crossing on whipple before i used to live there
fun fact: these kind of odd crossings are called doubleweight crossings
a bit of a sick e-Bell 1:20

Those were just shorter gates I was talking about
4:22 - 4:38 That gate on the Right needs a New Counterweight..... it moves up so Slow!
Amazing
There's NS 9737 as a dpu on the zlcbr if you're interested.
Change the crossings black x and white writing
those are so long
Omg I saw you that day
SO COOL BUT WHY ARE THEY LONG?
Instead of a crossing malfunction, *how about a video malfunction😂*
That one Bell doesn't sound right 1:35
It sounds like a loud GS Type 1 that's low pitched.
Good lord, why was 1:20 so loud?
And 14th Ave.
very cool uhhuuuh
GS E bell
FAN WE JUST HIT 300 SUBSCRIBERS
😯😯😯
🥰👍
