Pont Croesor Level Crossing

Welsh Highland Railway NGG16 Garratt Steam Loco No.138 in Crimson Lake passes across the main crossing at Pont Croesor heading to Nantmor before Welsh Highland Railway NGG16 Garratt Steam Loco No.87 in Colonial Blue passes across both crossings here heading into Pont Croesor Station, before it heads out to Porthmadog Harbour. There are two crossings which are operated as one crossing with eight lights. See my other video for the other crossing. One of the lights on this crossing has an extra long pole and because of the bend in the road, the lights on one side of the track are positioned on the same side of the road, which is the only layout like this in the UK. I'm surprised that this was allowed under the regulations when this was first built. The railway crosses the River Glaslyn next to the road on quite a long bridge. The 'STOP' markings on the ground are also not necessary as every driver would have to stop at them by law before crossing the crossing. By those terms, every driver who doesn't stop is breaking the law. That would be every car that crosses then. The car that pulled up and reversed had seen me and reversed out of the way of the camera, scuffing his wheel on the kerb. I thank him and you should too for giving you a clear view of the train. Bloody idiot for scraping his wheel. Type: AOCL Route: Welsh Highland Railway Location: Gwynedd, Wales, UK Train 1: 1:20 Closure 2: 2:15 Train 2: 2:43
