Railroad Crossings of StL's Metrolink Light Rail

This is a video I made of all the crossings I've recorded so far on the St Louis Metrolink (Bi-State Development Agency) light rail system. This system features two lines (red and blue), which are merged for most of the way, but split off on west side of the system. Sunnen Drive in Maplewood, MO is the only crossing on the section of Blue Line that isn't merged. The only crossing I've recorded on the section of Red Line that isn't merged is Etzel Avenue in Wellston, MO, but the Red Line does have 2 other crossings on it. The rest in this video are on the merged section, and I now have all crossings on the Missouri side of the merged section recorded. However, the Illinois side of it has LOTS more, and only one is shown (at the end).

The St Louis Metrolink has some nice equipment. 7 inch gate lights are abundant, and Safetran Fading LEDs make many appearances. A single high tone Siemens electronic bell is here, as well as a single WCH mechanical bell that has a high tone/aluminum gong. The line also has "normal" WCH bells, as well as some Siemens low tone, GS type-3, NEG, and GS type-2 electronic bells. The Illinois side also had lots of Safetran hybrids, but the last one left was replaced in 2018. Bell sequences on the line are very mixed. Also, every crossing on this line has side-mounted Modern Industries 12×24 inch lights with white lenses at each crossing, to tell train operators the signals are active. Overall, this light rail is probably one of the better ones out there in terms of equipment, and has my favorite light rail trains.
