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.

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

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

@@chamberlainman1012 nice train horn is this a miniature

The fact they have wishbone gates is amazibf

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

The newer bells don’t fit well with tourist railroads and park railroads. At least this railroad still has a lot of ding ding bells which require more maintenance which is why a lot of crossing bells are being replaced with ebells on major railroads.

UPDATE TO THE FIRST CROSSING: The WCH mechanical bell on the signal with Griswold lights is now dead.

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

Don’t be fooled by Cedar Fair. They did the same thing here in Ohio, and claimed the same thing. I found out they bought our Six Flags, shut them down, and never merged with them. Hell, Cedar Fair didn’t even repurpose the land Six Flags was on. Cedar Fair is just like Walmart, and Disney, they want to buy out all of the competition, and own everything so nothing can compete with them. I’ve hated Cedar Fair since I was 12 for what they did to Six Flags (I have a lot of memories there ). It’s been almost 20 years since I told Cedar Fair to f**k off.

wig wag's are the best

Me encanta tu video,es hermoso❤

I would honestly love to go to a park and just railfan and when I'm done, I just go on the swings and wait for another train. Why can't Minnesota have these? :(

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

Sad to see them modernizing😢

The first set on the left painted lights appear to be griswold

heyy what are you doing here

Nice ride

This is awesome

When I first came to six flags and the exact crossing it had a GS Type 2 bell I think and it got replaced by a WCH type 3 or 2 when I came there for the 3rd time

The one at Cedar point is pretty dope too

it’s the home of the classic railroad crossings and at 0:08 the first (not the second) it looks different like the bracket and why is it orange💀and so many black n’ white gates

Because it’s a gated area

Those offset signals and gates look like the ones off the old PRR pan handle in Indiana.
