Average Siemens moment

[@natestrains1166]

The control board may have falsely detected resistance when trying to rise, and caused it to stop in the down position. The gate light was still on because of the way BNSF wires pedestrian gates. I believe the gate light is directly connected to a cam contact which is closed when the gate is not in the raised position.

Nice Catch

Did Siemens merge with or bought out Safetran since their signals looks very similar.

I don’t know this is a actual malfunction because the main crossing is not activated?

[@Dylan-rl7nr]
