The level crossing has three parts parts, the crossing itself (alarms and warning lights), barriers and the Level Crossing Indicator. The Level Crossing Indicators have two different indications, flashing red and flashing white.

Flashing White - The level crossing is working normally and providing that the level crossing is clear, it is safe to proceed over it.

The level crossing will automatically operated upon detection of an approaching train.

History

When the crossing was first introduced it was an Automatic Open Crossing that was locally monitored (AOCL). In Update 2.0.0 the crossing was upgraded to a Automatic Barrier Crossing Locally Monitored (ABCL). The plunger to activate the crossing from the Perthtyne direction was also removed as well as the whistle boards.
