West Dayton Street Railroad Crossing Tour

This is the West Dayton Street Railroad Crossing in Edmonds, WA. This railroad crossing isn’t any different from normal railroad crossings, but this crossing was requested by a YouTuber that I’m subscribed to known as @CECUSA2026 and I give a shout-out to him suggesting this crossing. He does have a channel and if you are into railroad crossing tours in the Pacific Northwest, you can subscribe to him, I think he will be greatly appreciated with that. Now with that said, this railroad crossing has the following equipment.

Signal #1:
2 pairs of Safetran 12x24 lights with Safetran Dialight Ball LED lights inside Safetran light frames and on Safetran brackets, a Safetran gated signal with a Harmon base, a Safetran gate mechanism with RECO LED gate lights, and a GS Type 2 E-bell.

Signal #2:
2.5 pairs of Safetran 12x24 lights with Safetran Dialight Ball LED lights and 1 Safetran 12x24 light with a GE Uniform LED light inside Safetran light frames and on Safetran brackets, a Safetran gated signal with a Harmon base, a Safetran gate mechanism with RECO LED gate lights, no bell.

This railroad crossing is owned by the BNSF Railway, and it is operated on the BNSF’s Scenic Sub with Amtrak’s Cascades and Sounder operating passenger service.

Fun fact: Prior to 2012, this crossing had old Griswold EM gate mechanisms with 12x20 Safetran incandescent lights.
