In today's video we pay a visit to two gatekeeper-operated railroad crossings operated from „Ra” signal box of Rawicz station.
Railroad crossing on Sportowa street was a gatekeeper-operated (Category A) railroad crossing equipped with two JEGD-50 gates and three EHZ-32 signals with small 8 inch / 200 mm lenses.
Railroad crossing on Świętojańska street was a gatekeeper-operated (Category A) railroad crossing equipped with two ADtranz EEG-1 gates and two modified EHZ-31 signals with shortened light supports and 300 mm / 12 inch lenses similar to EHZ-33 signals. The crossing also featured KLD-4013 mechanical bell and CCTV cameras enabling better visibility for the railway employee operating the signals.
Both railroad crossings presented in the video were removed due to modernization of E59 railway from Poznań Główny to Wrocław Główny. Railroad crossing on Sportowa Street was removed in autumn of 2020 and railroad crossing on Świętojańska Street was removed in January 2020 only to be replaced by an underpass a few months later.
Recorded in July 2016 (first train on Sportowa Street) and July 2019 (the rest of the video).
