I remember that some crossings had manual gates and they were black/white striped instead of the red/white ones we see nowadays. Old signal pedestals are still seen along the right of way, but there are newer masts and posts in service.
Great video! love to see these older crossings in action. There was a crossing near me that was being upgraded to the newer style crossing gates a couple of months ago. They literally ripped out the old signals with a front end loader. Fortunately I was able to save one of the bells off of one of the old signals before it was sent to the scrap yard.
Nicely done! I noticed the crossing at 7th Ave in Belmar looks as though they have LED's in the 8 inch lights. Will be interesting to see if this is the way they go (as far as any upgrades).
These ones do, it appears: 5:53 7:14 8:33 9:53 12:10 14:45 17:24 21:52 23:43 25:00 26:12 30:35 32:00 Also, it appears the CNJ was a lot like the L&N and prefered to have the gate mechs on seperate masts.
Passenger trains only on this part of the Coast Line, as well as an overnight equipment move MM08 (can't remember what nights they go down to Bay Head) . Conrail OI-16 uses the Coast line for a couple miles between Perth Amboy and South Amboy on their way to Browns Yard in Sayreville.
Classified second that if a right to live in the state of New jersery as the safest state I've researched it what's new jersery right of Delaware under granite as the power under Delaware
Yeah, some of them are modern than others in the video, or were upgraded overtime. I figured it was worth recording them anyway since they usually go full out when they upgrade most crossings on this line (e-bells, led's, etc.), even though it's more safer.
In New Jersey, it depends. NJT mostly has mechanical bells like WC Hayes, and Safetran, like in this video. Some of their crossings have also been upgraded with Safetran type 3 e-bells, most of which can also be found on this line. Freight railroads like CSX and NS have different e-bells at a lot of their crossings too. Hope this answers your question.
love all the old crossings over some of the newer ones
Same! Just wish I thought of this video sooner, would've been able to grab a few more crossings, but I'm still glad I was able to film this many.

Some of them aren’t that old but it’s still cool to see that equipment is still being use there
Sweet. Especially like the bell combo at the Elberon Station crossing. Great work!
Thanks! Yeah, I really like that crossing!

Thanks! I'm really happy I was able to do this!
4:07 I LIVE BY HERE
Thats awesome. Wish the commuter RRs around here like the CSS still had old crossings like this...
The 5th Avenue Railroad Crossing Is My Favorite Also Sunset Avenue
Great video!
Thanks!
Great job!!! All familiar crossings. My area for over 40 years..
Thanks! I'm so glad I was able to get all these crossings filmed!
Awesome right in the center of my hometown belmar love that place keep it up
Brighton crossing - Shabbos
Nice railroad crossings
Thanks!
I'm loving the pedestrian crossing gates. We have them all over Northern California. Particularly in Sacramento.
Nicely done! I noticed the crossing at 7th Ave in Belmar looks as though they have LED's in the 8 inch lights. Will be interesting to see if this is the way they go (as far as any upgrades).
Thanks! Yeah, those LED'S has been in place for a few years. And yeah, it would be cool if they didn't fully upgrade it.
23:50 thats one unique crossing
These Crossing are so old on North Coast line with NJ Transit
epok vid 👌🥶
The railroad coaches in NJ look to be unwashed, and those whistles sound like sick goats.
Fantastic video, thumbs up and subscribed
Hey jersey transit has many of the old crossings
They don’t have much more than a handful though, if you’re talking about the older signals.
Happy new year and welcome to 2021
I may be wrong but on the newest video of my channel the crossing I railfanned may have been an old one
Nice!!!
Thanks!
But Not Too WEIRD
Sherman/Brighton Avenues - it's the first time I have ever seen cyclists actually obeying a traffic law !
They gone for good
Do you know if any of these crossings and the signals could be from the CNJ days?
I'm not totally sure but if I had to guess, I'd say the crossings with the 8" lights if anything.
These ones do, it appears:
5:53
7:14
8:33
9:53
12:10
14:45
17:24
21:52
23:43
25:00
26:12
30:35
32:00

freebrickproductions Makes sense about the separate masts. Thanks FreeBrick and Main Line! 👍🏻
is that strictly passenger line only? or shared with freights

The 2 esentially split after the Raritan Draw Bridge
Pedestrian Crossing Combo Bell Sounds Weird

what type of bell does NJ use is the WCH mechanical bell or is it safetran?
Which crossings?
