The first and only activation is shown at 2:15

This is the Fitzroy Street pedestrian crossing at Tamworth, located in northern New South Wales, Australia. This section of track no longer sees any freight, with 2 passenger trains per day being the only regular traffic.

These signals were installed on June 27 - 30, 1997. Along with the other pedestrian crossing at Tamworth (Hill Street) this would have been one of the last new installations to use GRS (General Railway Signal Company) semaphore gate mechanisms. It wasn't long after this that the newer swing gates were specified for use on future pedestrian crossings. These GRS mechanisms were not new, but recovered from old semaphore signals and refurbished for use on pedestrian crossings.

Both signals have Klaxon sounders and Aldridge Electrical "Don't Walk" lights which appear to be incandescent. The GRS gate mechanism on the southern side has a WRRS plate attached to the front. I'm not sure why, but my guess would be either that WRRS sold some of them with their branding attached, or the mechanism cover was damaged and the WRRS plate was used to patch over the hole.

An interesting thing about this crossing is the use of the "2 Tracks" signs which are normally used on road crossings. Although there are 2 tracks here, the second track is a disused siding which serviced the nearby flour mill. It hasn't seen a train for about 15 years and the connection with the main line has since been removed.

The train shown in the video is NP24 Xplorer service from Armidale to Sydney.
