Nice old crossing with Svetofor signals, but gates are removed. CFR couldn't maintained this one with original gates due to high costs (💶) and they removed the barriers from their original arms and disabled the gate drive on this one. But the M-bells are still there, which is cool.

[@eisenbahnerharthausen]

No numbers this time pls.

[@antineuter]

why disabled mechs

[@ArxCyberwolfPC]

They're old (Soviet era) and replacement parts are scarce if nonexistent. Most of these lines aren't high speed so the gates aren't considered necessary. The gate mechs are abandoned in place since they can't be feasibly maintained if they break down.

Romania was not part of the USSR. Moldova was.

@@GiacomoCagnin1995 the original manufacturer of these devices was Svetofor though, from the USSR. afterwards i imagine they were licence made locally.

[@adriancruceru9555]

Speaking of Svetofor gate mechs, does anybody know what they look like? Like, inside the gate box.
