Mountain Gap Road Railroad Crossing, Huntsville, AL Crossing Tour

[@EthantheRailfanner]

I'm not sure about the red and green signals, I haven't been able to get directly at the signals when I was down there before, I'll see if I can get up there soon.

[@Kasey1776]

I remember this! You got a recording of the signals.

[@freebrickproductions]

Yep.

[@JMANWiSS]

I like this crossing. If possible, in the future, if you get another video of this crossing activated, could you make a video from a perspective of the approaching train, showing the aspects on the traffic signals lit? This would be really cool.

[@AbandonedRailroader]

I have to agree. I would love to see how the traffic light lights up.

freebrickproductions :-) I just watched this video Sunday after commenting :-p

[@nashvilledivisionrailfanne6949]

Did you ever see the OLS on Friday? He met a BNSF coal drag at the space and rocket centre. I can't remember what the name of the siding was lol

[@freebrickproductions]

No and the siding's name is Elko. If it was last Friday, I was up in Tennessee.

To prevent a 2nd train from proceeding behind the 1st train too closely when traveling.

[@mgr_video_productions]

Great tour! Interesting crossing signals too!

[@freebrickproductions]

Thank you! These are some of the strangest signals along the line.

[@ghostface3302]

Does the traffic signals still work? And the crossing signals?

[@freebrickproductions]

Yes and yes. The traffic signals are used to let the train crews know the crossing signals are active.

[@coltconnorproductions1016]

Any video of the traffic lights lighting up?

[@freebrickproductions]

You can see them light-up in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWrcdGCJhad-npIm47s

[@coltconnorproductions1016]

the train is not a car why would it need a traffic light xD

[@freebrickproductions]

The signals are there to show the crew that the crossing is active.

[@coltconnorproductions1016]

freebrickproductions incase you are wondering I was joking about the trains not being cars :P XD

[@threepea1151]

Did the crossing ever have a m-bell?

[@freebrickproductions]

Don't believe so.

[@RaisedLetter]

One time can you film the traffic lights instead?

[@freebrickproductions]

Sure. I'm thinking of trying to chase the HMCR down the line and back up, just focusing on getting cool shots rather than crossings. If so, then I'll see about setting-up where you can see the signals.

[@markquiswest6607]

It's a weaird crossing signal!

[@mrtecthegoatgamer2217]
