Fixing A Railroad Crossing Malfunction

What kind of gate motor is that? It's not a Western Cullen is it?

[@RailroadSignsandSignals]

No. It is a Safetran.

What type of bell is that? (the signal with the malfunction)

[@RailroadSignsandSignals]

A General Signals electronic bell.

[@The_Californian_Railfanner]

Why that sounded like one of those Czech railroad crossing

[@Pikachu-h8d]

At the start that general signals type 2 sounded like a czech bell But when they repeard it souded like a gs type 2

[@L22V31_2]

I hear the General Signals type 2 and Safetran type 2

[@FloridaRailfanKid803]

Did You Replace That Mini WRRS Mechanical Bell With An NEG E Bell?

[@RailroadSignsandSignals]

It is a General Signals bell.

[@FloridaRailfanKid803]

Was It A GS Type 1 E Bell

[@RailroadSignsandSignals]

I am not quite sure.

[@theeyum]

@@RailroadSignsandSignals it's a GS type 2 (I recognize the sound of most Type 2's now a days so I know)

[@theeyum]

Most GS type 2s will sound like this if circumstances are right. So this GS Type 2 is basically a Type 3s smaller brother where as the Type 3 is the Type 2s bigger brother. (Please note: Type 3s are now manufactured by a company called Siemens, I do not condone getting one for small railways, more rather for bigger and actual crossings that get used.)

[@MichaelMcFerrin]

Did he reposition that right flashing red light? It's misaligned incorrectly.

[@RailroadSignsandSignals]

Yes, it was realigned.

Did the coil went bad on the gate?

[@RailroadSignsandSignals]

Yes.

[@BenjaminHickman-b2z]

What type of bell is that one?

[@RailroadSignsandSignals]

Not sure.

[@GreenTie76]

NEG-E Bell for the one close to the camera, and either a WCH or WRRS Mechanical bell for the other signal.

[@imsolame2085]

Kinda Similarity to the crossing at hampton Road in West Palm Beach, Florida

[@EleanoreChoy]

yea

[@trainchaserelliot]

0:02 (Crossings) there is totally nothing going on here.

[@johnb9394]

Hmmm someone not doing a complete monthly inspection.... adjust the points

[@RailroadSignsandSignals]

I do weekly inspections to ensure the safety of the warning devices I cover. I cannot prevent certain failures as that is just part of signals aging. The reported malfunctions have always been cleared within a few hours of original notice. I can’t do any better.

[@glitchy4688]

Clear Device, do not stay gate does want to stay up so it then Replace the clear device with a new clear device 5:04

[@itz_coaltonnn]

i come across that before while i was drivin on the expressway & them damn things the fuckin gate would lower & raise & lower & raise & them lights flashin like hell & every damn thing else. i didnt know wtf to do. i said "motherfucker is there a fuckin train comin or not!?"

[@DJ_FOOD_STAMP]

i like this type of railroad crossing malfunctions.

[@Indianarailproductions]

Q #1) is there a timer thing inside of the relay case that decides how long it takes for a gate to drop? Q #2) how many volts would an average crossing take if it had, 4 incandescant lights, a gate mech and 3 incandescant gate lights? (Its ok if you can't answer)

[@RailroadSignsandSignals]

Yes, I can easily answer these questions. Q #1) what accomplishes the slow delay for the gates is either a slow drop relay or a solid state board in the crossing controller. The slow drop relays range from 2.75 to 4 seconds slow drop time and you can use two slow drop relays to double the delay time. Q #2) The crossing components use 12 volts. The voltage does not change for how many lights you have or gate mechanisms but the amperage matters. You will need at least 20 amps to run a whole crossing signal (including incandescent lights). (Just a suggestion) I would not attempt to wire up a crossing signal if you don’t know how electricity works as it can easily damage the components you are trying to power up, if it is used incorrectly.

[@Indianarailproductions]

@@RailroadSignsandSignals Thank you. I currently don't own a crossing or any components, but there is a railroad crossing replacement going on in my area. When it comes to that I'm gonna try to get at least the gate mech. Edit: if you want to see the crossing it is on my video called CSX 3125 manifest or something like that.

[@railfannercristian]

What about the lights

[@RailroadSignsandSignals]

I did not bother filming them as it took 10 seconds to shift them back to their original position. I had to do other jobs before it got dark as well and so I did not spend time setting up a tripod for a 10 second clip.

Isn't it easy to fix a railroad crossing malfunction, or is it difficult?

[@RailroadSignsandSignals]

It widely depends on what the issue is. A malfunction could be replacing a blown out gate light to having to replace a whole railroad crossing signal. It is usually easy to fix but time consuming to fix issues as finding the issue often takes longer than fixing the issue.

[@Uk_country]

Can we fix it?

[@RailroadSignsandSignals]

You (the regular public) have no way of fixing a problem like this one as it requires to replace a specific part that has gone bad on the inside of the signal. It is always best to report a problem or emergency directly to the railroad associated with that crossing as seen on the blue info sign on the signal even if you think that you are able to fix it as chances are, the problem will reoccur after the next activation anyways.
