Fantastic job Tazzie. This video is comprehensive and constructed so well. The research and information in the description is incredible. You should be proud of this video.
It’s amazing just how many kinds of bells there are. Pretty much every crossing here in Adelaide is an electronic one but there’s a old train line in mount barker that uses the magnetic flag man.
Yep! There's quite a variety! Following down that line there are also a few WCH 333 Mechanical Bells! Adelaide is quite bare with only 3 types of E-Bells, The GS Bells, WCH Bells and the Safetran Bells
You couldnt get more descriptive on railway bells than this! This is the best video for crossing bells i have seen and great editing too! Lots of pause points- maybe the writing could have been up for a little bit longer than it was but other than that A++! Keep up the amazing work!
Fantastic job, did you know there’s also another GS E bells located in the Barossa Valley in South Australia at Barossa Valley Way/Stepptistfield Road Roundabout.
I believe Westinghouse Break & Signal were the primary provider of singling equipment overall on the network in the 1970s, 1980s and maybe into the 1990s! They were apparently also responsible for the signalling, platform screen doors and automatic train control systems on the first two lines opened in the Singapore metro system! :)
20:43 I also believe these bells used to also be used on the Blackburn road and Middleborough road level crossings before the crossings were removed! However they replaced the mechanical bells on the Blackburn road crossing with electronic alarms in 2011-2013 by what I can remember! :)
@@TazzieTransport That’s really good to know since I don’t exactly remember what types of bells they were! I was also not even 10 years old yet at the time the Middleborough road crossing was removed in 2006-2008! The Blackburn road one was removed roughly a decade later! :)
To my knowlege all mechanical bells have been removed from the Northern Territory on National Railways (North Australian line ect.) Last crossing to have a WCH gen one where all the crossings within the Alice Springs area while the WCH gen 2 was removed alongside the grade seperation of the Stuart Highway from the Central Australia line in 2014 or something. Tho I am hoping that the old locomotive at the Road and Transport hall of fame can move and they also can get the reqired funds to make a loop kinda like the Pichi Richi. So a new level crossing would be cool Ngl
You'd be correct with that statement, They have all been removed and replaced with either a - General Signals Type 2 - Safetran Type 3 or a - Western Cullen Hayes E-Bell
@@TazzieTransport WCH hayes bells havent been installed but with Aurizon taking over the North Australia and Central Australian lines maybe they could have them installed if say a level crossing gets an upgrade or obliterated. Also when the North Australian line was constucted Safetran bells have been the most common. Tho some crossings up north have GS bells they are rare.

The bells at Mont Albert road have seemingly been replaced with the latest type of E-bells quite recently as the crossing was fully refurbished/rebuilt a few months ago but will soon be removed with the line being moved under the road! :)
@@TazzieTransport Yup while a lot of that newer equipment will probably be moved around the network when the rail trench is built so it would probably be moved down into the new alignment where needed or to other places on the network! :)
I can't stand awful modern bell on train crossing in Adelaide, it sounds awful like loud beep noise. Compare to old fashion bell it sounds much nicer and perfect synchronised sound of ding ding ding. Shame on government for removing old fashion bell and put in awful fake modern bell on to drive everyone crazy.
Yep! E-Bells are annoying sometimes, the reasoning behind shifting to them is to cut down on maintenance to a crossing, but the E-bells are 10x more prone to dying compared to M bells so 🤷

Thanks! I am very proud of this video, especially because it took 2 days to export and upload because it kept failing...
@@TazzieTransport woah that’s a long time
@@hazptmedia Yep sure is. + the 30 hours it took to actually edit the video!
@@TazzieTransport it's an amazing piece of editing and research.
As a hybrid bell, I sincerely approve and endorse this professionally produced video of my fellow family members.
Your lost cousin Safetran hybrid bell is in usa
Come take a trip here
(This is a joke)
I'ma pass a railroad crossing soon
2:30
a single lemon skittle next to the Westinghouse hybrid bell
Lol, I didn't even notice!
you cant blame him, probably hungry.
Americans would think the last crossing is theirs, the US&S e-bell sounds like a GS type 2, and the K5HL on the SD70ACe/ES44ACi sounds like a BNSF
Lol

Adelaide is quite bare with only 3 types of E-Bells, The GS Bells, WCH Bells and the Safetran Bells
Since the railway crossing removal projects these are disappearing and I don't miss it because road traffic moves a lot smoother and quicker.
Ah, my favourite bell 21:11, great stuff Tazzie
Thanks!
Great video mate I like the wig wag and e bell 1 and Westinghouse hybrid bell have good night
Thanks Kaden!

saw you
Nice work. I like all of the info put into it and I love the clear sounds of the bells.👌👍
Thanks
Sorry for late but comment but that was a great video!
Thanks!
These railroad crossing bells in Australia are like the ones in my country, the United States of America.
Yep, they are pretty similar but there are a few which are Aussie exclusive!!
Amazing video and great information Tazzie!
Thanks TRR!
Great video, very informative. There isn't anything as good as this!
Thanks, I aimed it to be Informative!
Fantastic job, did you know there’s also another GS E bells located in the Barossa Valley in South Australia at Barossa Valley Way/Stepptistfield Road Roundabout.
Yes, that crossing is awesome! But sadly I'm pretty sure that line is abandoned

46:51 sounds very nice
I agree WCH E-Bells sound nice’

Good job Tazzie. This video is great!
Thanks
48:50 it sounds pretty acuratte with a US&S Ebell and a K5HL
You mean GS2
@@deepudeepthi8709 Those are US&S E Bells. They are basically GS Type 2 Copycats
@Tazzle Transport in The Netherlands we previously had also sort of Teardrops 1930s Bells
At 11:06 the wrrs bell sounds like a type 3 e-bell
Yeah it sorta does, just has the clunk of a M bell alongside it
42:56 Those are the same bells we have in Canada and the US, guess Australia has them too
Yep!!
theres a lot of countries that use U.S equipment
46:07 a High Pitch and a Low Pitch! Best Friends!
Great video tazzie
Thanks AH137!
Some of the tear drop bells sound like Westinghouse hybrid bells
Yep, Westinghouse brake and signal teardrops have the same model/size gong as Westinghouse Hybrids
As an SD70ACe fan BHP has been definitely doing the right work.
excellent video friend ❣️
thumbs up

Greetings, glad you enjoyed it!
Nice
Minton Street/Beveridge Road Level crossing, Beveridge
Great video, very nice effort :)
Thanks McK&H :) and thanks for The Clips to :)
Great video
Thanks Jack :)
The safetran type 3 high pitched I know some crossings that have it
Plus:wch e bells I don't see commonly besides a railroad park (Illinois)
Nice!
What's inside the E-Bell?
A Speaker
for your information, the qld bells are toa speaker
You forgot to include the Hausalarm (Yodalarm Ya50/E2S) E-Bell
A few typos but good work

or a
- Western Cullen Hayes E-Bell

Here is a NT crossing with a WCH E-Bell
@@TazzieTransport I have been on a road trip up north and I didnt know that.
@@Dudedoesstuffright Yea, hard to know stuff sometimes if you don't stalk Google Maps lol
Goodness I want a Barker bell now
How do you know that is a Griswold bell not a Safetran bell they look the exact same
The base is different
The bells at Mont Albert road have seemingly been replaced with the latest type of E-bells quite recently as the crossing was fully refurbished/rebuilt a few months ago but will soon be removed with the line being moved under the road! :)
Yep, got upgraded with GS3’s in July
@@TazzieTransport
That was also around the time they were running train replacement buses between Box Hill and Camberwell for a a couple of weeks! :)
@@Techno-Universal that’s when they ripped up the signals and put new ones in
@@TazzieTransport
Yup while a lot of that newer equipment will probably be moved around the network when the rail trench is built so it would probably be moved down into the new alignment where needed or to other places on the network! :)
44:32 Wait a minute...
I just heard the South Korean bell.
Interesting, These bells are made by Siemens, while the ones in South Korea are just plain speakers, different manufacturers
where near me are the westinghouse hybrid bells still in use?
Macaulay Road, Macaulay would probably be the closest
Cool! 😎
The teardrop bell kind of sounds like it’s flat
Which was your favorite level crossing tazie transport
Hybrid bells were never used in WA. They are filled with WCH bells, even a safetran near Geraldton
Wrong, there's footage of hybrids in WA somewhere. Cool Safetran!
@@TazzieTransport also, as a qld'er there is no wch e-bells here
@@aydoyt there is one suprisingly you can hear the WCH e-bell in this vid th-cam.com/video/huVd_V7UiXI/w-d-xo.html
There are actually hybrid bells in the Pilbara region of WA.
@@TazzieTransport OK, its a gateless crossing, private, and managed by ARTC
At Altmanns Road with a Safetran Type 1. I noticed a concrete base of a gate, is this for the future? I said
I’m just kidding, it’s not a concrete base of a crossing gate.
@@p4ttyo I doubt it will be getting gates, but sadly last year it was replaced with a Siemens/Safetran type 3 :(
awww😭
that’s sad
@@p4ttyo Indeed
What is the warning bell at Seymour used for?
Warning Bell for SRHC Volunteers IIRC
Im making a 2-minute railway crossing bell in Australia video that needs to be edited
10:46 sounds exactly like a USA crossing!
Australia has more teardrop bells than USA and I haven’t see a single one in USA
USA is giant compared to Aus, theres like 15 that aren't heritage owned crossings here so I wouldn't say we have more
wait wheres glenferrie road?

48:45 looks like an american crossing
48:48 What street is that crossing on?
I can't recal, but it has been grade seperated.
This train
35:40
Sadly, That GS1 has recently been replaced with a GS3
Wait, there is only one GS Type 1 Left? At Kensington?
17:13 lamp out ?
It was glitching for some reason
