I'm here today at Plimmerton Level Crossing in bad weather. This crossing hasn't really changed that much apart from the LED Lights and the bell.
Features:
Western Cullen Hayes E-Bells (previously Griswold M-Bells)
Griswold Barriers
Griswold Signal Co Lights (Retrofitted to LEDS)
Montrose of Penrose LED Lights
Original Lamp style Western Cullen Hayes Lights
Original Candy Striped Poles

I looked at this crossing on Google Maps. The white paint on the backs of the Griswold signals is now black.

LeaveTheMark Yes I’m fully aware of that.

Woah, a Griswold base! That's rare!

@liftrailphotographyinnz3992 7 лет назад

They are quite common here in New Zealand

Lift & Rail Photography In NZ well hope to get a trip there sometime then!

These Griswold barriers are now starting to get less and less common as KiwiRail are slowly phasing them out.

As of January 2022 this Level Crossing has now been replaced and has got all Western Cullen Hayes equipment.

Wow! It seems to be constantly raining in NZ! Interesting old lights. Good video.

@liftrailphotographyinnz3992 7 лет назад

Thanks. I shot this video in the school Holidays and the weather was absolutely terrible.

Really nice crossing, I love the old Griswold barriers and lights. Interesting how they left one pair of old Western Cullen Hayes lights. Well done for filming in the nasty weather, most people (including me) probably would have chickened out!

@liftrailphotographyinnz3992 7 лет назад

Yes thanks for your comment. I like the Griswold Barriers and Lights too as well as the Old Western Cullen Hayes Lights.

Yeah they are really nice But bad news is that this crossing is currently being replaced :(

@liftrailphotographyinnz3992 2 года назад

@@mkasrailwaysliftsmore8005 I already knew that

My dad told me the white flashing lights inside the bells are there for the train driver to see. Because the driver cannot always see the red flashing lights to make sure they're working, so that must be what the white lights are for.

Yep, The weather was so bad those two weeks of that school holidays that i ended up going and filming up in Palmy instead. Now that setting where the bells stop before the barriers lift, I think it was just a trial in the finnish, Because i have noticed level crossings that have been upgraded recently don't have that setting on them, Roberts Line, Tangiwai e.t.c, And i think it's the same story with the e-bell upgrades in Levin also, It's no longer being done.
