yeah, i figured that would be the case because of the nearby creek and the rail-bridge would extend to aspendale station(probably)

@@TheiLikeTrainsGuyIsMe Here is a ink to the project area plans. engage.vic.gov.au/lxrp-mordialloc-and-aspendale Station street will cross under the railway opposite Pine Crescent and reach ground level at James Avenue. The end at Mordialloc Collage will become a cul de sac.✌

yeah same, im planning to go. the bridge looks fantastic

in my opinion, the crossing at station st in carrum which has since been removed had a strange array of lights pointing in almost every direction. it was also the first crossing i ever went to so i decided it was my #1 favourite crossing. my #2 favourite crossing would be seaford rd in seaford which has also been removed. what's your favourite crossing?

@@TheiLikeTrainsGuyIsMe Huh, I just looked at Google Streetview for Station St, Carrum; and as you said there was a whole bunch of lights there. I wouldn't be surprised if they were the original lights from when the crossing was gateless, as the gate mechanisms were on a seperate pole that I suspect was added later. My top 3 favourite crossings are: #1: Webster St, Dandenong - This is my local crossing, and I just like the array of equipment there, along with the 1st and 2nd gen Westinghouse Hybrids. #2: Eramosa Road West, Somerville - Basically all of the equipment there is Westinghouse, and I really like the Hybrids and the EB gate mechanisms. #3: Anderson St, Yarraville - I really like the Barker Technics there, as well as the double lights on the eastern side of the crossing, which looks a little goofy.

i know i hate it😤😤😤😤

this is in australia melbourne

@LucusTheTrainGuy Ahh, thanks for that. I did wonder because cars were driving on the left.

@@mikeuk1954no problemoo

yeah, i also have a concern for the sandringham line, for some crossings at bay st and church st(middle brighton and north brighton stations)those crossings are on a packed street so if the sandringham line does get put up for removal, i really wouldnt be surprised, judging by how most of the crossings are on busy streets

@@TheiLikeTrainsGuyIsMe I think the only problems with removing crossings at Middle/North Brighton is the space, as there would have to be narrow platforms, and also I don’t think locals would really like it and they would probably protest about it

@@pengo34789thats the same thing i thought when my dad asked "how will the government remove the boom gate at Highett?"

Hmm I thought only the cross arms were WRRS ones, and the lights were regular Westinghouse Incandescents. Either way, nice video :)

it was, if you go on google maps and set the date to the oldest you can(i think 2007)you'll see the road had been closed off i think it was closed for about 12 or 10 years

im plannng to go to new/dendy st soon. i always use google maps to find crossing to go to and i always use street view to find good positions to film😂 idk why tho

The funny thing is that that’s basically what I do too when looking for interesting crossings 😅

thats what i thought when i filmed😂

yeah, i dunno how they'll remove this one with all the shops surrounding the crossing, if they want this one gone(which i personally find this crossing very congested)lxra would have to close down a number of shops for space for the new station

I think it just depends how they execute it, according to Wikipedia the preferred solution is having sky rail, so I’m thinking that they’ll probably keep it an island platform over where the current station is, but they will have to make it a fair bit smaller, sorta like Bell Station

yeah, when i was crossing to(i think the western side?) i saw the lxra sign on the floor and the armstrong rd level crossing in seaford(i think it was the eastern side) it was missing a crossbuck😂 boom gates these day mostly get better equipment during grade separations

I actually reckon the reason for some crossings missing their crossbucks is that people steal them, as there's no way it's gonna fall off naturally (e.g. a bell on top preventing it from slipping off); I guess people really like them but they shouldn't be stealing :/ Some crossings get newer equipment when being removed as they have to be moved (e.g. Parkdale LXRP), so they remove all the old stuff and chuck in new equipment I guess for reliability? Then again, some of that equipment has been working flawlessly for many years, so I don't really see the point of new stuff...

@@pengo34789yeah, i dont see a point for new equipment and moving the crossings if they'll be removed.

Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks for the visit
