Railroad crossing on Piłsudskiego street in Rawicz, Poland was a gatekeeper-operated (category A) railroad crossing, equipped with four JEGD-50 gates and four ZWUS EHZ-32 signals. Three of four EHZ-32 signals on the crossing were equipped with small 200 mm / 8 inch lenses incompatible with modern safety requirements. Additionally, signals S1 and S2 lacked contrast panels which at the time of the video being recorded made them the last signals in Poland with such configuration. Signal S4 was the only one on the crossing equipped with 300 mm / 12 inch lenses and similarly to S1 and S2 it also lacked contrast panels.
Crossing was removed on February of 2018 (due to modernization of the E59 railway from Poznań Główny to Wrocław Główny) and replaced by an underpass.
Trains in the video: TLK 6504 "Artus" from Wrocław to Gdynia and TLK 5602 "Artus" from Gdynia to Wrocław. Both trains were hauled by EP09 express electric locomotives.
Recorded on 28th July 2016.
