Theme parks can keep old railroad crossings alive. Six Flags is a huge example. They use vintage railroad crossing signals and bells on their railroads.

The fact they have wishbone gates is amazibf

Wishbone gates... teardrop bells... WIG WAGS... this place has it all

4:56 that Teardrop bell sounds very flat

I heard from a local crossing signal collector that a majority of these oldschool signals and bells came from Katy TX and are MKT era, it's awesome these relics are preserved here at the park! Especially all those Teardrop bells and that Wig Wag! Nice video!

i see some of the crossing have new barrier gates, its been years since ive been there

Don't know what it is, but Wig Wags is my favorite old school crossing signal. This size of the engine is adorable, especially with the big sounding whistle and bell, then this little thing comes chuging along. Big enough to be functional, small enough to make you think if that could fit in your back yard.

The one at Cedar point is pretty dope too

I never saw RR signals that had green targets, or gates that came down on the wrong side!

wig  wag's are  the  best:yt::yt::yt::yt:

And meanwhile Six Flags over Georgia has two teenagers and some plastic chains. And once the chains are up one of them walks over to the control "gazebo" and turns on the signals manually with a specialized rotary switch designed to not break their 4-inch long press-on nails.

I absolutely love running that Porter locomotive.  It's a little tight in the cab..... but it's a joy to pull that throttle.  Of the two we have,  Patton's stack talk is the best.

Sad to see them modernizing😢

You scared me with the title at first, wch e bell...

I thought you meant they replaced the teardrop bell (the crossing with the wigwag) with the wch e bell, don't do that😭😭😆

Aside from my mini heart attack, nice video!

that crossing looks so fun !

Meanwhile Cedar Point has crossings that have to be activated by workers for whatever reason

This year Six Flags and Cedar Fair are merging. I live near a small park owned by Cedar Fair since July 1992.

5:21 6:40 the wigwag is broken I think 6 flags they need to fix it.

I’ve been to that theme park before and I was surprised Six Flags had a WCH E-Bell on one of their crossings.

Good Train Parts. 🚂🚂
