    Here we have the Sisely Ave level crossing at Wangaratta. It is located in northeast Victoria on the line from Melbourne to Sydney and is 233.087km from Melbourne.
    Flashing lights were first provided at this crossing on October 30, 1958, although gates were not installed until November 28, 1984 (thanks to TrickyMario7654 for finding the information).
    Nearly all of the equipment at this crossing was made by Westinghouse, including the lights, type EB gate mechanisms and hybrid bells. Both bells rung from start up until the gates rose. The pedestrian crossing on the northern side also had Westinghouse pedestrian boom gates which are becoming increasingly rare these days.
    As of mid 2019 the hybrid bell on the eastern gated signal was replaced with a Safetran Type 3 electronic bell, then in late 2019 the Westinghouse EB gate mechanism on the eastern signal was replaced with a Western Cullen Hayes mechanism. The pedestrian crossing on the northern side was also upgraded with swing gates, with the old pedestrian boom gates being ripped out and replaced.
