Great video! Interesting that they kept the alarms in the gate mechs when upgrading the crossing, I'm guessing they didn't want to have to rerun the wiring too much or something? Definitely ain't something that could be done with the gate mechs used here in the US, lol. Also seen a good few crossings here in the US located next to or inside of passing sidings. The latter can be especially annoying if one train has to stop on the crossing you're trying to film, and its either due to meet multiple other trains or the train(s) it's due to meet there are some distance out still.
Thank you! It would've been too much of a job to rewire it all so that the alarms could be fitted externally. It would've had to be fully renewed all-together. That does sound annoying if you had a crossing in a passing loop and one of those situations arose. Here in Rye, it tends to vary which crossing of the two remains lowered and which raises when the trains meet here every hour, and that can be annoying if you're expecting the one you're at to raise and it stays lowered for both.
Great video and nice Crossing 👍
Thank you very much!
