New train barrier arms, shorter and made in America, were being installed at Mt Eden’s George St crossing today and apparently will appear in other places.
The arms were not operating for a while while Ontrack installed them.
The new barrier arms get a test run- first train through for one of the arms
Now barrier arms may be..well barrier arms to most motorists but to Ontrack staff involved, the new ones looked quite different under the bonnet.
And talk about boys with their new toys….
Inside there were lots of “surprises”
“Hey sweetheart, exciting news, I’m putting in new barrier arms? No, seriously it is exciting!”
Train passengers seemed to wonder what was going on!
