BNSF 4494 West Rochelle. Stupid New Crossing in Place Now!!

[lordbemylight]

Lousy e-bells. Oh well, they're less maintenance, though the real ones sound better.  People collect them for a living.

[bear434]

i agree with beastyjizzle and kyron1994. those crossing gates don't souns bad. in fact, i like them!

[rsppap]

That sucks they had to get rid of the old WCH m-bell! I think it was working perfectly well!! But at least a rare Safetran e-bell is better than a usaul GS Type 2.

[johnyboy087]

They're putting those bells up in Jersey now, I hate em'!

[BNSFSD40]

ugh! hate the bells!

[beastyjizzle]

the crossing arm has lights this time.

[beastyjizzle]

the lights are brighter

[Sniper12890]

and fuck the annoying bells

[beastyjizzle]

These new ones are sweet!

[kyron1994]

those sound so cool

[UP1340]

Speed this up 1 time

[UP1340]

The original lights, bell, and gate lights is what I will replace and they will go into a toolkit and will be used for a brand new signal I get

[UP1340]

UP should be the next one to put a crossing like this but Aurora LED gate lights

[UP1340]

Is that another train in the distance?

[UP1340]

I want UP to use safetran also.

[UP1340]

Maybe UPRR needs to do this thing to their 9th st crossing.

[theup3985]

As much as I do love these new signals, I'm still not sure why BNSF had to replace the old ones. The old ones seemed to work perfectly fine. But nobody asked me now, did they?...

[UP1340]

the old ones were too short for sidelights and that's why they had to be replaced. BNSF could of replaced them after an accident of someone not knowing there's a train.

[gregtrain1]

I see nothing stupid about the crossing.

[EJE665]

I still don't see the point of BNSF replacing every crossing in Rochelle. The old ones worked just as well.

[Caltrain927]

Looks like 12x24 or 12x20 Harmon Fading or Safetran Ball LED's with Safetran Type 3 Electronic Bells.

[TommyBNSF]

It is 12x24 lights and I believe they are Harmon.

[Railhaterssuckdick08]

They kind of look like Safetran/Dialight Ball LED's.

[TommyBNSF]

Well it was nighttime so I couldn't exactly make out the names on the lights.

[owensri2]

They are Safetran Ball LEDs.

[UP1340]

UP should use more of these in WCH frames

[Sniper12890]

They are Ball LEDs.

[skyman2002]

I Wish They Used A WCH E Bell. There Are a Few Crossings Down The Way With Safetran And WCH Mechanical Bells!

[theup3985]

I think it's enough that UP uses the WCH e-bells, IMHO. I'm glad to see BNSF using Safetran e-bells now.

[UP1340]

UP should also use Safetran E bells

[TPWRAILFAN]

at least the ped gates are still there

[TommyBNSF]

There are new ped gates in place. The older ones were VERY rare.

[TPWRAILFAN]

ped gates period are rare
