Amazing how different Pickering Station looks today.

[johnwood57]

@majormagna It is even different now,the station has a roof over it,have not been this year yet been too busy working............John

[majormagna]

@johnwood57 That's actually what I was referring to; in retrospect I realise I didn't word it as well as I could have.

[johnwood57]

@majormagna That is ok i must have read it wrong as well,no problem worse things happen at sea as they say,i hope we are not gonna fall out over it LOL.......John

the sirens are there to act as an audible warning to pedestrians. the reason there aren't any barriers is because the crossing is automatic, and the supervising signalbox is not able to check the crossing is clear.

[johnwood57]

Thanks for the info,it was just dam annoying that siren,just was not expecting it ,at the time it did not sound that loud,till i played it back home,Grrrr!

Thanks for the comment............John

If you ever film at Levisham, the Level Crossing there has a siren. Not sure about New Bridge Crossing, and Grosmont Crossing has one but it's rarely used (only if there's alot of people about).

[johnwood57]

@KitsuneProductions Thanks alot i will keep that in mind,i will be over that way again very shortly gonna ride the train from Whitby get off at every stop,and see what goodies i can get..............John

[KitsuneProductions]

@johnwood57 Goathland stations a good place to be as they come up the 1 in 49 from Grosmont...but then everywhere on the NYMR is good! (You can't tell I work there at all can you?) anyways I'll shut up now lol

[johnwood57]

@KitsuneProductions No do not dare shut up,love to meet you,i will be there shortly

.......John

[KitsuneProductions]

@johnwood57 am in grosmont box saturday 17th if you fancy popping up? just bare in mind i may tell you to go away, depends how the days going. can tell you some other good public places to film if you'd like? (tho i'm more knowledgable of the grosmont/goathland end)

[johnwood57]

@KitsuneProductions I may take you up on that,i will have to see what i am doing..........John

[KitsuneProductions]

Congratulations John for producing an excellent first attempt at Railway filming. It's not an easy subject to attempt, but you did a superb job...5* Bob

[johnwood57]

Thanks Bob,that is my first go at a steam train now i know where to find em,i am after some more,hopefuly without a crossing siren LOL.........John

[pwalpar]

Terrific video John 5* wouldnt mind having a word or two with their crossing alarm designers though LOL

[johnwood57]

Thanks Walter,i know those crossing alarms are annoying,that road only leads into a parking lot and there is no barriers,nobody cares about the alarm they still drive across so why bother with the alarm?.........thanks for the comment......John

[togreektown]

John Mate one hell of a excellent video,

Your new software is just great. Your camcorder is much steadier not so jerky but then that was probably in the processing and so clear.

ps I don't like the sound of your crossing warnings they suck bigtime LOL

Wayne a 5*+++++

[johnwood57]

Thanks Wayne,those croossing alarms are a load of crap,why bother with an alarm when there is no barrier,that road only leads into a small parking lot,the track is only single and it is a dead end at the station which is only a couple of mins down the line,the traffic ignore them all the time,waste of space if you ask me.........John
