BTW go look at my new post!!! I finally fully restored my Western Cullen Hayes railroad crossing Bell polishing the aluminum!! and it shines like a mirror!
Most GS type 2s will sound like this if circumstances are right. So this GS Type 2 is basically a Type 3s smaller brother where as the Type 3 is the Type 2s bigger brother. (Please note: Type 3s are now manufactured by a company called Siemens, I do not condone getting one for small railways, more rather for bigger and actual crossings that get used.)
I do weekly inspections to ensure the safety of the warning devices I cover. I cannot prevent certain failures as that is just part of signals aging. The reported malfunctions have always been cleared within a few hours of original notice. I can’t do any better.
I did not bother filming them as it took 10 seconds to shift them back to their original position. I had to do other jobs before it got dark as well and so I did not spend time setting up a tripod for a 10 second clip.
Q #1) is there a timer thing inside of the relay case that decides how long it takes for a gate to drop? Q #2) how many volts would an average crossing take if it had, 4 incandescant lights, a gate mech and 3 incandescant gate lights? (Its ok if you can't answer)
Yes, I can easily answer these questions. Q #1) what accomplishes the slow delay for the gates is either a slow drop relay or a solid state board in the crossing controller. The slow drop relays range from 2.75 to 4 seconds slow drop time and you can use two slow drop relays to double the delay time. Q #2) The crossing components use 12 volts. The voltage does not change for how many lights you have or gate mechanisms but the amperage matters. You will need at least 20 amps to run a whole crossing signal (including incandescent lights). (Just a suggestion) I would not attempt to wire up a crossing signal if you don’t know how electricity works as it can easily damage the components you are trying to power up, if it is used incorrectly.
@@RailroadSignsandSignals Thank you. I currently don't own a crossing or any components, but there is a railroad crossing replacement going on in my area. When it comes to that I'm gonna try to get at least the gate mech. Edit: if you want to see the crossing it is on my video called CSX 3125 manifest or something like that.
i come across that before while i was drivin on the expressway & them damn things the fuckin gate would lower & raise & lower & raise & them lights flashin like hell & every damn thing else. i didnt know wtf to do. i said "motherfucker is there a fuckin train comin or not!?"
It widely depends on what the issue is. A malfunction could be replacing a blown out gate light to having to replace a whole railroad crossing signal. It is usually easy to fix but time consuming to fix issues as finding the issue often takes longer than fixing the issue.
You (the regular public) have no way of fixing a problem like this one as it requires to replace a specific part that has gone bad on the inside of the signal. It is always best to report a problem or emergency directly to the railroad associated with that crossing as seen on the blue info sign on the signal even if you think that you are able to fix it as chances are, the problem will reoccur after the next activation anyways.

The actual cause is still unknown until I check out the hold clear device coils. The electromagnet coils were not engaging with the steel plate so it was replaced with a new one.
What kind of gate motor is that? It's not a Western Cullen is it?
No. It is a Safetran.
@@RailroadSignsandSignals I kinda figured by the looks of it! Good work 👍
WCH is on the opposite side
What type of bell is that? (the signal with the malfunction)
A General Signals electronic bell.
the gates were just saying hi by waving back and forth lmao
BTW go look at my new post!!! I finally fully restored my Western Cullen Hayes railroad crossing Bell polishing the aluminum!! and it shines like a mirror!
They are kinda friendly though. Lol
@@warningsystemsofohio1880No, the arms weren't being friendly-it was an earthquake that caused the problem. 😆😆😆😆😆😆
@@warningsystemsofohio1880😂😢😢c cmdndm k I’ll nxafelbrfqlc
Q mi fa@@warningsystemsofohio1880
I hear the General Signals type 2 and Safetran type 2
At the start that general signals type 2 sounded like a czech bell But when they repeard it souded like a gs type 2
I love that bell
Why that sounded like one of those Czech railroad crossing
i love the type 2 bell 😊
Did You Replace That Mini WRRS Mechanical Bell With An NEG E Bell?
It is a General Signals bell.
Was It A GS Type 1 E Bell
I am not quite sure.
@@RailroadSignsandSignals it's a GS type 2 (I recognize the sound of most Type 2's now a days so I know)

AT FIRST BELL SOUND BROKEN SCARY FIXED COOL
Looks like the crossing is having a seizure 😂😂
Did he reposition that right flashing red light? It's misaligned incorrectly.
Yes, it was realigned.
@@RailroadSignsandSignals Good to know......THANX!
Nice fix
i like this type of railroad crossing malfunctions.
Bro the bells sounded like those ones from Czech republic lol
Did the coil went bad on the gate?
Yes.
Go back to school on how to adjust them properly
Have you seen a malfunction at the junction causing the crossing gates to freak out??
Yes I have.
@@RailroadSignsandSignals gthghghD🔧🔧🔧
Kinda Similarity to the crossing at hampton Road in West Palm Beach, Florida
Great video glad you got it fixed
How you getting railroad crossing part and stuff
I found people who have parts I am looking for.
@@RailroadSignsandSignals can you get newer railroad crossing gate mechanism or newer light?
I will use what equipment I can come across.
What type of bell is that one?
Not sure.
NEG-E Bell for the one close to the camera, and either a WCH or WRRS Mechanical bell for the other signal.
It sounds like the crossing is saying hello
yea
Railroad Gates always know when there's a train coming this railroad game is there a train there's not a trained wait there is a train
I miss electromechanical bells.😢
Won’t be seeing them for much longer on my signals. Eventually they will be phased out when I get enough replacement bells.
At least the crossing gates are working good weird malfunctioning crossing
Excellent video !
It sounds like Czech Railways Bell
Good fix there.
Hmmm someone not doing a complete monthly inspection.... adjust the points
I do weekly inspections to ensure the safety of the warning devices I cover. I cannot prevent certain failures as that is just part of signals aging. The reported malfunctions have always been cleared within a few hours of original notice. I can’t do any better.
Why is there an e-bell and leds?
That was what I had at the time when the signals were installed.
@@RailroadSignsandSignals didn’t you have a whole bunch of other bells or something?
I have a few that need to be restored. I have shown every bell I have in my videos already. The others are going to different signals.
At first the signal sounded kinda scary to me but then when it got fixed it was not that scary.

Clear Device, do not stay gate does want to stay up so it then Replace the clear device with a new clear device 5:04
FRIENDLY CROSSINGS 😊
What about the lights
I did not bother filming them as it took 10 seconds to shift them back to their original position. I had to do other jobs before it got dark as well and so I did not spend time setting up a tripod for a 10 second clip.
@@RailroadSignsandSignals ahh ok
Infinite ding-dings!! Lol
Nice video
I'm a dictionary and you better believe it
What’s with the ebell?
It is connected to the same relay as the lights. If the lights come on, so does the bell.
@@RailroadSignsandSignals what happened to the mechanical bell, just asking
On the other signal or the previous bell of the electronic bell?
@@RailroadSignsandSignals previous bell of the electronic bell
I removed it so it could be placed on another signal in the future.

@@RailroadSignsandSignals what railroad company is that worker from
He is not part of any company. I am teaching him how to maintain the crossing signals.
@@RailroadSignsandSignals OK. you are totally awesome
Nice video bro
0:02 (Crossings) there is totally nothing going on here.
Put an alligator clip on the bell contact when you’re working on the gate it’s so loud
Just imagine hearing that all night on a school night when you have a ACT test in the morning 😵💫😒. Me: STFU 🤬 I have a ACT test tomorrow morning 🌄.
What did it cause the malfunction
Failed hold clear device.
@@RailroadSignsandSignalsthanks
I’m not a professional correct me if I’m wrong I probably am wrong but I think it may be the whole cleared device but I’m not a professional
It’s working out man but on a serious note that’s actually kind of bad
The hold clear keeps sliding then releases it and the motor pushes it up again and again
If it was slipping it would be making a ratcheting sound. This time it was not engaging at all.
@@RailroadSignsandSignals there was anothe railway malfunction
It’s got the same motor is The one you’re working on
Bell was scary until repair
The mechanical one
He wanted to be a dutch crossing gate.
The NEG bell is great ❤
imagine getting your finger caught in there
Crossing gates during a Derecho be like:
i come across that before while i was drivin on the expressway & them damn things the fuckin gate would lower & raise & lower & raise & them lights flashin like hell & every damn thing else. i didnt know wtf to do. i said "motherfucker is there a fuckin train comin or not!?"
The train crossing is have a malfunction so old clear Device malfunction is not working and the gate is not does stay up
looks like that day you pointed a light like a side light
I’m about to go to Edwardsville to pick up a railroad crossing keep in touch with me this railroad crossing I’m Buying it works
When the video starts you can see the real thing like the gate is going left and back
Isn't it easy to fix a railroad crossing malfunction, or is it difficult?
It widely depends on what the issue is. A malfunction could be replacing a blown out gate light to having to replace a whole railroad crossing signal. It is usually easy to fix but time consuming to fix issues as finding the issue often takes longer than fixing the issue.
@@RailroadSignsandSignals Interesting, I never knew all of that.

More will definitely be happening soon.
It Seems Like The Railroad Crossing Gate Was Trying To Go Down
It was actually trying to stay up.
Nice
I don't know how it happened but good fixing the malfunction heart this comment
Im gald you fix it the railroad crossing mafunion
Note: is not available and broken
The opportunity to see inside a railway gate
Great Video
At first bell sound like it belongs to ohio until repair
Whole Clear Was Mess Up
(Hold)
Can we fix it?

What caused it I couldn't hear
The actual cause is still unknown until I check out the hold clear device coils. The electromagnet coils were not engaging with the steel plate so it was replaced with a new one.
Coils could have over heated
I know without a doubt that was the problem but I still have to make sure it wasn’t caused by another problem.
