My own observations

NB!
Please be critical towards the information about the section with the advantages of simple lights. I couldn't find any distinct information about this but at least, it's pretty obvious why they were installed

A special thanks to UK Level Crossings & Trains Channel for inspiration to this project

3:14 It would be so cool if the installers could alter the pitch of these to a degree so every crossing has its own unique sound. Still the best KLD imitation E-Bell out there.

[Mr.Salazar]

7:32 I love the Dutch E bells, the sound is so clean

Mmm startin to learn about the swedish crossing and i often came to sweden at ystad. And i LOVE to see the trains passing by.

Very interesting video, swedish crossings are beautiful! In my country every crossing is equipped with both lights and sounds, but the bell type depends on the barrier boxes type. Modern crossings are always equipped with TM2000 or TD 96/2 boxes, with e-bells and always in full-barriers crossings. Old FS64/FS88-equipped level crossings (the italian RR crossings community favorites) with mechanical bells still exist, but they are rarer than the others, especially because they're being replaced with newer boxes as also half-barriers and unguarded crossings are, due to "their lack of security", but the fact is that people are impatient and cross the tracks because the gates remain closed for too long (from 2, even up to 20/30 minutes in rarer cases!). Here level crossings are considered a big problem for traffic and security and the general trend is therefore towards the elimination of level crossings and replacing them with overpasses or underpasses and this make me sad :(
but luckily there are still many and enough time to film most of them!

Thanks for the video.
Greetings from italy! 🇮🇹

3:41 fun fact

One x2000 set came to United States for the northeast corridor on Amtrak and it tilt on any track compared to the German ice 1 that didn't tilted, and made tour all over the united States and Canada

7:32 dutch railway crossing bells? (i am from netherlands aka dutch) but i have never seen a other country having such bells besides belgium then.

0:07: Sound reminds me at the Trainz's default electric locomotrive engine sound.
7:38: Netherlands e-bell

[jonathanlindell]

Väldigt bra video, har du något tips på var man kan läsa mer om svensk infrastruktur och dylikt (Jag blivit rätt intresserad av det på sistående) :)

[sandrad]

7:01 They actually changed the sound in Halmstad. Wonder why.

[VOZRA_STUDIOS]

Very nice video...but why there are so many crossings with only lights, when they install lights why they do not install a bell? In our country it do not even exist (except for only cross and and manual barrier).

7:40 why the railroad crossing have netherland sound

[justacurb]

7:40 it sounds like a Dutch level crossing

[pineappleroad]

Interesting to see the different types of crossings that another country has
(In the country where I live, there are 4 main types of crossing: Full Barrier Level Crossings, Automatic Half Barrier Level Crossings, Automatic Open Level Crossings, and User Worked Level Crossings

brief explanations:
Full barrier crossings are interlocked with the signalling system, which means you often have to wait 4 mins for the train
Automatic half barrier crossings have a minimum warning of 27 seconds
Automatic open crossings have a white light to tell the train driver when the crossing has activated (and some have a red light to tell them when it has NOT activated)
User worked crossings often, but not always, have a set of red and green warning lights, the green light MUST be lit before you cross, and if no lights are lit you have to call the crossing operator, at crossings without a warning system you have to check for trains yourself before crossing

sorry for saying: i readied in the title swedisch level crossing. whitch flag do i see Correct the UK. and not sweden :)

[CFRTrainSpotter]

It feels so weird to hear the level crossing at 7:32 have the sounds of those from the Netherlands.
But IMO the best level crossings in Sweden are the ones with the classic bells. i think Trainz 2006 had them.

[RealRustyi]

7:41 Level crossing sound stold from dutch

[saimonsevcik]

Did you poster a swedich version of this?

[ebtv]

Why does the thumbnail have a British flag, when it’s not even UK?
