I believe Westinghouse Break & Signal were the primary provider of singling equipment overall on the network in the 1970s, 1980s and maybe into the 1990s! They were apparently also responsible for the signalling, platform screen doors and automatic train control systems on the first two lines opened in the Singapore metro system! :)

To my knowlege all mechanical bells have been removed from the Northern Territory on National Railways (North Australian line ect.) Last crossing to have a WCH gen one where all the crossings within the Alice Springs area while the WCH gen 2 was removed alongside the grade seperation of the Stuart Highway from the Central Australia line in 2014 or something. Tho I am hoping that the old locomotive at the Road and Transport hall of fame can move and they also can get the reqired funds to make a loop kinda like the Pichi Richi. So a new level crossing would be cool Ngl

@TazzieTransport Жыл бұрын

You'd be correct with that statement, They have all been removed and replaced with either a - General Signals Type 2 - Safetran Type 3 or a - Western Cullen Hayes E-Bell

@Dudedoesstuffright Жыл бұрын

@@TazzieTransport WCH hayes bells havent been installed but with Aurizon taking over the North Australia and Central Australian lines maybe they could have them installed if say a level crossing gets an upgrade or obliterated. Also when the North Australian line was constucted Safetran bells have been the most common. Tho some crossings up north have GS bells they are rare.

I can't stand awful modern bell on train crossing in Adelaide, it sounds awful like loud beep noise. Compare to old fashion bell it sounds much nicer and perfect synchronised sound of ding ding ding. Shame on government for removing old fashion bell and put in awful fake modern bell on to drive everyone crazy.

@TazzieTransport Жыл бұрын

Yep! E-Bells are annoying sometimes, the reasoning behind shifting to them is to cut down on maintenance to a crossing, but the E-bells are 10x more prone to dying compared to M bells so 🤷
