South 7th Street Railroad Crossing Tour

Описание: This is the 7th Street railroad crossing in Garibaldi, Oregon. This railroad crossing was requested by @UnionPacific7999, and I give him a shout-out for suggesting this crossing. This railroad crossing is a bit interesting as it has one of the most uncommon bell combos and a rare railroad crossing combo in that it has a cantilever and a gated mass signal instead of two of each. With that said, this railroad crossing has the following equipment.

Signal #1:

Cantilever: 3 pairs of Harmon 12x20 incandescent lights inside Harmon light frames and on Harmon light brackets, a Harmon cantilever, and a weak Raco Mechanical bell. Gated mass signal: 1 pair of Harmon 12x20 incandescent lights inside Harmon light frames and on a Safetran light bracket, a Safetran gated signal, a Safetran gate mechanism with Miller Ingenuity LED Gate Lights and no bell.

Signal #2:

1 pair each of Safetran and Harmon 12x20 lights with Safetran Dialight Ball LEDs and Harmon Dotted LEDs inside Safetran and Harmon light frames and on a Safetran light bracket, a Safetran gated signal, a Safetran gate mechanism with Miller Ingenuity LED Gate Lights, and a WCH Mechanical bell.

This railroad crossing is owned by the Port of Tillamook Bay Railroad and is operated on the PTBRR Garibaldi district line.

Interesting note: the Raco Mechanical bell was described as flat, which means that the bell is out of tone and may need to be adjusted.
