Oh ok. Let me just say that it is alot to make a video like this. I had two tripods up with having the phone and one having the DSLR camera. Both were started and I clapped to sync the audio. I will most likely do this for special leads.

The old wch signals on somonauk road in Cortland used to do this all the time. They would Malfunction all the time. Sometimes staying down for hours at a time. I remember all three crossings in town Malfunctioned.

I wonder if that's an old mast from Meredith Rd. in Elburn that finally got reused. The lights were carried over and the gate mechanism is new, but the mast appears used.
@SignalMan92925 күн бұрын
Yea. For some reason they installed a wind guard on this signal but not the right lane. Also the arms are reused from the previous signal. Now do you know why they did this?
