Hello All,

The safety automatic opening / closing gates are now in operational use at Palmwoods Station
for the pedestrian cross-over at the tracks.
They are very well lit and have the green / red walk signals to match.

The swing-type gates close automatically upon a train approaching.
I'll try to get some photos to share here.

Hello All,

Here is a link to pictures of the Safety Automatic Opening / Closing Gates in use just 200m north of Palmwoods Railway Station.
I finally have a phone with a small camera !

These are the Palmwoods Rail Station Pedestrian Gates. They are automatic and are swinging closers to prevent access when a train approaches, also includes a green safety-man (safe to cross now) lit image.

Are they similar to the ped/rail crossing near Woombye station?

I don't know sunbus, you mean Palmwoods wasn't the first one to get them ?    :-r
I shall check it out and get back to you.
They were done at around the same time, weren't they.
