This is the pedestrian crossing at Exeter Station, located south of Moss Vale, on the Sydney - Melbourne Line.
These signals were installed on August 28, 1991. Both signals have GRS semaphore gate mechanisms, Aldridge Don't Walk lights and Roshni sounders.
An interesting modification has been made to the western signal in recent years. The pedestrian pathway was lowered to provide a more gentle slope, and rather than move the signal, a special bracket was fabricated to bring the gate further towards the ground.
Train information:
1st train: 9227 empty limestone from Port Kembla to Medway Quarry, with locomotives NR8 and NR53.
2nd train: SN44 passenger service from Goulburn to Moss Vale.
3rd train: SP32 Xplorer service from Canberra to Sydney.
4th train: 6PS7 freight from Perth to Sydney, with locomotives NR80 and NR23.

Great video! Love the thumbnail👍👍
Thanks!
Great video! I noticed that strange modification yesterday whilst on the C Class tour yesterday, certainly looks odd! Amazing the signals haven’t been replaced!
Thanks! The only pedestrian crossing in the area to be upgraded is Marulan, which received swing gates a year or two ago, but it's nice that the other crossings are mostly untouched :)
Awesome video, gosh places such as Exeter are so nice they seem like the perfect spot to take a train video
Thanks!
Great video!
Thanks!
Nice video!
Thanks!
Nice!
Thanks!
Interesting how they decided to keep the existing GRS semaphore signals when they did that modification to the nearby slope.
Yes I guess they didn't think the crossing was busy enough to justify new swing gates, but it certainly makes for an odd setup!
I find it odd that the crossing surface here are just thin sheets of wood (or metal) and not thick pieces of concerete that go in between the rails!
10:36 nice to see some boxcars!
Thanks! The crossing surface has wooden boards with metal sheeting over the top which is primitive compared to newer pedestrian crossings. It will probably be upgraded eventually, and hopefully the new surface will be wider.
Good old Rochester ny
Nice video! Is it just me or are those signals quite rusty for something only 25 years old? Ah i dunno, it looks like it came from the 1970's to me. That modification is REALLY weird
Thanks! The gate mechanisms were recycled from semaphore signals, and would be at least 60 years old.
Nice Crossing! What gate mechanism does this crossing have?
Thanks! The crossing uses GRS mechanisms which were recycled from old semaphore signals, not sure of the exact model number if that is what you mean.

That is in the description
