LONG Train Knocks Down Signal

[@robertgift]

e-bells are better for hearing impaired. Also little maintenance. Real bells requiregular lubrication, contact cleaning and clapper adjustment.

[@merricksparkman7352]

There is nothing wrong with the Electronic E Bell we have them here in Alaska

[@TheEDFLegacy]

Yeah... but I'm NOT a fan of American-type bell operations. The fact that it only rings when the gates are going down scares me. For the visually impaired, if they didn't hear the initial bells, they may not realize it until it's too late (unless they hear the train's horn and the engineer doesn't forget or isn't a no-horn zone). In my country of Canada, we use almost exactly the same signal system as you do, except for one key difference - the bells ring continuously until the gates are back up again.

[@MaestroAlvis]

[@GamesCooky]

[@HolidayDecorator]

I have NEVER heard that and I come from a family of railroad workers. When I read that I thought the train was going to literally KNOCK the signal down as in breaking it and in need of repair. I watched a video a while back that stated something like train knocks down crossing signal, and when the train came by, because some idiot ran the gate and left it broken on the track, the train took out the signal. To me the wording should have been "long train waits for green signal during slow approach," then signal goes red {as it is supposed to} after the train has entered the block in the descriptor area of the video or at least more details or your definition of "knocking down a signal". Otherwise the title could be construed as click bait when the signal never got knocked down. Nice video and train, but I live in Florida, born and raised and I have never, not once heard that term until this video. And I've called CSX and other RR's when I've found broken or faulty signals along the rails or crossings. And I've never heard any conductor or engineer I know call it out like that either.

[@Alex1212Alex1212]

you were baited, dude. As all of as.

[@metatechnologist]

By the way, people need to be careful and not do what the truck did at the end. It's not unusual for a train to be headed in the other direction of the other trucks, which case it would have been a very bad day for that truck! People, wait for the arms to lift up before you go!!

[@captainkeyboard1007]

That is the right thing to do--wait for the crossing gates to rise before crossing the tracks.

[@SarahWilliams-es2yl]

Same for pedestrians

[@DallasSniper]

I would have laughed had another train came thru going the opposite direction as the white truck drove around the crossing arm at 14:49.

When I was a kid back in the 50's, my dad used to take me to the Columbus OH union station, track level, to watch the old steam locomotives roll by. The steam, the smoke blowing into my face are memories I will never forget. And the noise of those beautiful engines still rings in my mind. Good video, thanks for posting.

I grew up in Columbus, and one of first jobs out of high school was a printing company next to Columbus’s Union Station. Of course it is long gone with a huge convention center in its place. Must have been the late 1970’s.

[@LTBROYT6A]

The colors of the signal lights give information to the Engineer operating the train. The safetran signals seen in this video can have 1, 2, or 3 signal heads, with all 3 heads usually containing 3 lights, and on rare occasions 4 Lights. The top light is Green, the middle is Yellow, and the bottom is Red. Only one light is lit on each head at any given time, and the pattern of colors that the different heads display is called an Aspect. The Aspect of the signal can tell the Engineer to continue, or resume at Track Speed, the maximum speed allowed for the track beyond that Signal post which is the Highest Aspect, until he reaches the next Signal, this Aspect is called CLEAR and displays a Green light on the top Head and Red lights on all heads below. The Lowest Aspect is STOP and the Engineer must Stop the train just before reaching the the Signal post that is displaying the STOP Aspect, this Aspect displays Red lights on all Heads on the Signal Post. If the Engineer encounters a Stop Signal and fails to stop the train before any part of the train passes any part of the Signal Post, by Evan an inch, they will be taken out of service and most likely Terminated, There are many different Signal Aspects used on the different Railroads in the US, but the two mentioned above are common to all US Railroads that use Safetran Signals. Basically all us Railroads also use other Aspects to tell the Engineer information about speed restrictions, stop Signals, etc ahead, at the next or second Signal. While watching the video, it started out showing Red on all 3 heads or STOP, and the train continued to sit there for a while. After both Commuter trains crossed the Diamond ( where 2 sets of tracks cross each other) the Signal where the train was sitting which would have been a Stop Signal switched to a Proceed at Restricted Speed Aspect which depending on the Railroad and where the train was, the speed would be restricted to somewhere between 5 and 15 MPH And Be Ready to Stop, or a speed that you can Stop within half the distance to anything that is on your track The train then proceeded towards the Signal at the diamond and started to stop when the Aspect changed to Clear and the train started to accelerate. and when it passed the signal the Aspect “Dropped to a Stop Aspect known in US Railroad jargon as “Knocking the Signal Down” As they Knocked the Signal Aspect Down from the Highest Aspect (CLEAR) to the Lowest Aspect (STOP)

I was also surprised to see the IRVING logos on those cars carrying lumber. IRVING is a conglomerate company headquartered in Saint John, New Brunswick.

You don't usually see mixed passenger and freight trains anymore, though. At least not in the US.

That train could supply a whole city with domestic product for a long while.

[@krystalskye949]

As long as that city needed tons of rock, sure.

[@godngunclinger]

COOL video, thanks for the commentary and map link! i wish all video makers showed the location like this.

[@johnhumberstone9674]

So after a train passes a green signal, it then turns red and that's what video is all excited about?

[@johnhumberstone9674]

What? A signal changing when a train goes by. Why would a driver be pissed? It's his job to drive the train.

[@HansDelbruck53]

Well, that was worth watching. Now, I've got some paint drying on the wall.

Ah the wannabe KZbin crtitc who has no content on his channel. You guys are a dime a dozen.

Awesome video Roly! Geat to see some live action going on! Loved the sound of the try rail going over the diamond! Very nice catch!

[@midwestmodelrailroadworkshop]

RailROL82 It had a good clean, sharp sound to it! I'm sure it's in pretty good shape! I'd imagine try rail owns the diamonds since they are the ones going over the FEC main so with them being a passanger line the maintenance would have to be kept up fairly well for public safety!

Dang,how many Horsepower do those engines have?

[@ricedoutcivic355]

Nice! Too bad i dont see trains that are this long in Spain xD

@@railrol82 combined or each??

[@rayrandy41]

they are 6000hp diesel or LPN power that run a generstor that powers the electric traction motors. So basically they electric trains but rely on diesel to ru. The generator for the traction motors.

[@rayrandy41]

Most of the generators produce 4000 kw or higher depends of the model of locomative.

[@trevorbrooks1651]

4500 horse power per rail loco

Awesome video my friend!! really long train. Full view and liked

[@midwesternguy2260]

I love how the white truck at the end couldn't even wait for the crossing arms to go up, He was like: "F these crossing arms, I got places to be." LMAO

[@johnrush6293]

Had to count how many 169

[@railrol82]

Something like that. Someone else counted 173. I lost "track" at 100 something when l filmed it in person. Thanks as always for the views and comments!

[@nancymorrison1273]

Wow! You could have had a baby, then went it to pre-school while that train was passing by. But, what a train! A small town could be built up with the materials on that train. It would be interesting to know where it was going and for what purpose. Even without being in the line, I would have sat and watched it. I love big trains, little trains, all trains. Thanks to all of the men that devote their lives to making choo-choos, choo. Just my opinion.

[@railrol82]

This is one of the best comments I've ever read, Nancy. I wish everyone thought like you. Thanks as always for the views and comments!
