A very industrial level crossing with rather dirty equipment located in the middle of an industrial estate near Melton and North Ferriby a few miles to the west of Kingston-Upon-Hull. The equipment is as dirty as it is because of the weight of usage from heavy goods vehicles. It's a three-track level crossing which was fully-renewed in late 2018. The disused signal box still stands, and is now used as facilities for trackside workers. Despite this renewal, and like seen up the line at Brough East Level Crossing, the wigwags / road traffic lights were kept from the previous install here and have been re-used. This was quite an awkward place to film, and a rather busy, smelly, and industrial location, so I didn't stay here for very long and only filmed a few units.
