Compilation of Mazovian Railways regional trains (various modifications of EN57 DMUs) recorded at two vintage railroad crossings in Poland.
First railroad crossing is located in Stara Wieś near Otwock. When I was recording this video, it was equipped with two vintage, single-light (8 inch/200 mm) ZWUS HZ-10 signals from 1950's based on pre-WW2, 1930's Ericsson project. It also had ZWUS KLD-4013 mechanical bell (also based on Ericsson project) and Bombardier KLD-4103 E-bell (that replaced another KLD-4013 a few years ago). Signals were controlled by Ericsson - DUN automatic crossing system installed in 1959.
Second crossing is located in Żabieniec. On the video it has three ZWUS EHZ-32 signals with vintage 8inch (200mm) lights and one new, Kombud SD-K2 (300 mm/12 inch) signal. It is also equipped with two Bombardier KLD-4103 E-bells. Signals are controlled by SPA-2A automatic crossing system.
Both of the crossings had the signals replacements since I took this video. Stara Wieś crossing got the two, completely new Bombardier EHZ-75 (300 mm/12 inch) signals with built-in EDE-1 E-bells in the fall of 2016. In 2019 line was closed for complex modernization which resulted in replacement of Ericsson - DUN system as well.
Żabieniec crossing got EHZ-75 signals (three of them) and was upgraded to a gated crossing with two Bombardier EEG-3 gates in the middle of 2017. It also got new automatic crossing system type SPA-5.
