NEW Library Ave. (Day)

Here we go! I know a bunch of people wanted to see this video redone, so they can hear the mini bell better. Well Everyone's wish was granted! This is the last time we see Guilford MEC 504 and 345 before they head north to Lewiston. The whole train was recorded here. Now take a look at the bicylist at the end of the video. There was 3 stupid things he was doing. He was for one going around the gates at the end, 2. He was going down THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD! and 3. HE WASN'T WEARING A HELMET! Enjoy! That leaves one crossing left for all of you, and it's Spring St. To see where the mini bell is, here's the page for Library Ave http://www.rxrsignals.net/Maine/Auburn/Library/

Weird how the mini-bell rings the whole time while the other bell rings only when the gates lower and rise...

[Crossingman18]

yeah I know. The only problem was that the mini bell wouldn't ring during the winter because the hammer would freeze in place. Same thing happened with Depot Rd's Mini bell.

Very nice! This line gets about 8 trains per day, right? What kind of camera do you use? I have a JVC GR-D750U.

[Crossingman18]

You are right. Around 8 trains a day, though I believe more come in the night. I always heard about 4-6 trains during the night and early mornings. it could be more than 8.

She's a movin' there! From this video I'm sure the locomotive is a GP40-2LW, don't know though if it's ex-CN or if Guilford purchased it new or from somewhere else.

Those look like some completely intact old style WRRS Model 10 signals! :-D

[Crossingman18]

the unit is a Ex CN GP40-2 (safety cab). The number of the CN unit BEFORE it became Guilford MEC 504 was CN 9466.

Hate it when vboth bells ring. It's REALLY annoying. Quality needs a bit of work. 4*

Dumb kid on a bicycle at the end, I guess he wants to be a truck driver. That was a nice clean filming from start to finish. Everytime I watch a movie clip shot at a grade crossing I expect to see a 18 wheeler gum it all up.

[Crossingman18]

To tell the truth, they are quite common in Maine. All you ever see was shrinking style gates. You hardly ever saw one size gates.

[Bellwestern80]

How old are those gates? Its hard to find one that shrinks as you go down the gate.

[Crossingman18]

you can't see it. The crossbuck and extra side lights are on extra supports while the mini bell is on the main pole, so the crossbuck blocks the view of the mini bell.

BTW, where was the mini? I didn't see it!
