Weird and Unusual Railroad Crossings ft. A Federal Signal Mechanical Bell!

Some of the unsual looking crossings Ive shot. Not all are completely odd but just odd for the area. Dont remember all the dates so just gonna say everything shot between August 2020 and February 2021. Anyway here it is:

Oakley st, Hammond, IN
NS 9609 & 1845.
Crossing is odd cuz of the light set up on the gate and the 2 signals on both sides of the crossing with lights but no crossbuck....

Main st, Morton, IL
NS D49
NS 3317 & 3521
Crossing is all Safetran and odd cuz of the extra sets of lights on each signal... only one like this around here that i know of..

Market st, Tiffin, OH (both sides)
EB intermodal & WB junk train
CSXT 3311 & 3230
CSXT 574 & 29
Crossing is at least Safetran lights and a GS Type 1 e bell. Its odd cuz of the ramdom cantilever with only 4 lights on top and nothing else and the weird light placement on the the signal next to it. This crossing was also in the middle of being replaced so glad i shot it!

OH 701, Blanchard, OH
SB Autorack.. also have another video this train on here.
Not sure on the crossing NEG E bell and odd cuz the signals are on the wrong sides of the road.

Main st, Convoy, OH
LIFW
Also have another video of the same train on here.
Forgot all crossing details but this one had a rare Federal Signal Mechanical bell! Just look at the signal close to me... that right there says it all why its odd.

Union st, Walbridge, OH
No train just shot both sides real quick of this super strange crossing.. Definitely the strangest one in the video.

Pearl st, Findlay, OH
SB junk train
KCS 4827 & UP 4698
Crossing was all Safetran w/ a Saftetran hybrid bell. Crossing was odd cuz of the high masts and ive never seen one with the crossbucks that high as well.

3rd st, Kentland, IN
TPW 3442 & 3440
Crossing was a bell only with a Safetran mechanical bell... wanted to include a bell only in this video.

7:11 gotta let those planes know a train is coming

15:36 Those are some massive signal masses, holy cats. But I sure like the Safetran hybrid mechanical bell used there! =)

The crossing at 19:32 had me. I couldnt see the track in the road and was wondering where the train was coming from then the train comes plowing through the snow. Lol

7:47 is my favorite part because of the horn

0:35 that made me thought that guy has a shining bald head

The crossing at 9:31, in southwestern Ontario, we have a crossing something like that because of where the entranceway is to the feed mill.

These really are some weird crossings, especially the one with no lights but a bell.

The last crossing at the end, I have not ever seen a crossing with no lights but a bell????

I always love seeing rusty, weird or broken signals working like this. Nice.

15:23 oh I'd "kill" for the round RXR sign with lights in it hehe
I saw one but it had RED lights in it
I'd do that to one of those hehe

The crossbuck lettering at 9:09 indicates that Conrail used to own that line before CSX took over. Conrail was fond of that "Harmon" font for their crossings. There are some former Conrail crossings in Taunton MA that still have crossbucks like that (CSX and Mass Coastal now operate through them.)

I like how the crossing at 9:43 has older cross bucks

Great video and crossings! Definitely a RIP to that third one though, must be quiet-zoning it? Love the FS bell on the CFE crossing! Love the set-up of the 2nd to last one and nice to see you got to record the TPW Bell-only Safetran!

I find the one @7:11 with the stargazing warning lights particularly curious. Are they trying to warn birds and planes?

[MrTenor-chgs]

7:24 gotta let all aircrafts know there’s a train coming

[aydanpatrick]

2:32 The Railroad Crossing have lights on top of the sign but with no bell on it

[captainminecraft]

19:44 I’ve seen crossings on street view like this, but i never thought that the bells would function!

[brendawilson]

Isn't federal signal the same company that makes tornado sirens 😮

[spikefojas]

9:07 why are the lights facing towards the sky?

[aeroofalken]

7:47 woah that train horn sounded pretty cool as the train it self was moving away
