This is the loco's air horn. All Chinese steam locos have an air horn and a five tone chime whistle similar to those in the USA. Drivers appear to be able to use either but seem to use the air horn for normal warnings and the chime whistle where they think an extra loud warning is needed.
Apparently this is only common in China. Steam locomotives with steam whistle and compressed air horn! At least I don't know where else that would be used!
@@robertwa1975 I haven't come across the combination anywhere else either. I've wondered if it was also the practice in Russia in steam days ...... Andy
I want some more collections about Chinese crossings
I might put a compilation together of what I have ..... Andy
Hi Andy another good video. The quality of your filming is of a very high standard.
Thank you John - I'm never happy with it !
Andy and Dandan Fisher All perfectionist have that problem, just have to live with it won't go away. I like the stones in the ballast box, if that was British Rail it would have to be drawn up, passed by health and safety meanwhile the crossing taken out of use.
.... and the weeds growing out of the stones, too !
Andy and Dandan Fisher why this steam train use an air horn?
All Chinese steam locos are fitted with an air horn and a steam whistle. It's entirely up to the driver which he uses. Please take a look at the following for a rather nice example of the steam whistle at a level crossing .... ruclips.net/video/xPJx24HDOW0/видео.html
Do all Chinese crossings have an attendant to operate the gate?
No automatic gates?
There are automatic gates in China, Michael, although most still have attendants. However, most of my steam videos are recorded on small branch lines where there are no automatic gates installed. Andy
Question: are you allowed to just film the train and railroad in China? Or do you have to ask permission? I know that you have to aks permission sometimes when filming certain objects in China.
Generally the railway staff are thrilled to be filmed. Just occasionally the local police might ask a few questions but it's never caused any problems.
Andy and Dandan Fisher I see. Also, why is the track signal in this video facing from the track away? Is it out of use?
You have me there ! I can't remember now (after 5 years). The signals may have been not used - often the authorities fit equipment but the local staff never bother learning how to use it !
Andy and Dandan Fisher I see, a signal that was placed for use but never saw any use... have had a similar case here near my hometown in the Netherlands.
I heard two longs followed by one short and one long just like we do in America!
I think a lot of their practice is based on US practice. I'm not sure I heard 2 longs, 1 short and 1 long though !!
Last long should a last until crossing.
I pranked my dad by thinking my pops 87 crown victoria had the key in the switch by using this video and my dad thought the car was on!
As I've said before to others, probably made in the same Chinese factory as the car alarms! Andy
Andy and Dandan Fisher I just pulled a prank on him
the crossing bell kinda sounds like when you leave the car door open
Maybe the same "Made in China" mechanism .... Andy
I a, from the Guangdong province.
Hi. My wife Dandan is from Nei Meng gu .... Andy
why is it china's trains have air horns?
I'm not sure of the reason but all steam locos (at least in the last 25 years or so) have been fitted with both steam whistle and air horns. There don't seem to have been any rules which was used when. If you look through my Chinese videos you'll see it's more or less random. Andy
They use it to make it louder to warn the people who walk on the tracks for safety so that they can hear
William Ou ok
Welcome to City 17
Vaguely reminiscent I suppose! ..... Andy
The sound of the crossing is like in Jakarta or Japan
They're pretty standard in many countries. Probably made in China! .... Andy
@World Lortzhfiog It's China of course, definitely not Japan! .... Andy
where is it?
As the title says, it's Fuxin in China. That's north east China near the city of Shenyang ...... Andy
@@AndyDandanFisherSteam ok ,so , im in poland , i was trying to find it on google maps! and not found
can you search it on google maps?
@@Koleje93 Yes. It's easy to find. "Fuxin, Liaoning, China". There's no steam there any more though ..... Andy
Suena casi a un camión de basura
Bueno, creo que es un poco injusto
Well, I think that's a little unfair ..... Andy
Sounds a bit like railroad crossings in Thailand.
The ones in Thailand probably use Chinese equipment ..... Andy
@@AndyDandanFisherSteam Yeah I think so.
That crossing sounds like a Japanese one
I'll take your word for that. I've visited Japan but not heard a crossing quite like that! ..... Andy
suaranya mirip di PJL Roxy, Jakarta
The equipment in Jakarta is probably supplied by China.
You've been to Jakarta?
Yes. I've been to Jakarta ... and Surabaya and the island of Bali. I have many videos from the little narrow gauge lines there waiting to be edited.
A steam engine with a diesel train horn
It was standard in China that all steam locomotives were fitted with both a whistle and an air horn. Take a look at this video of mine which shows both being used alternatively .... ruclips.net/video/xPJx24HDOW0/видео.html
...... Andy
The bell sounds like a ford door chime
Same comment as your last one ---- although this one is different ! Andy
Andy and Dandan Fisher just saying it really does
thats amarecan not china
Oh no it isn't!! I recorded this myself at Fuxin in northern China in 2012. The locomotive was built at Tangshan in China in 1983. Sorry! ..... Andy
MBA MELI
?? Sorry, I don't understand that !!
