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!
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.
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..
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
