Spoorwegovergang Salou (E) // Railroad crossing // Paso a nivel

[@MrRogerlorente]

Tomorrow will be the last day of this railroad crossing in Salou. By the last Friday, trains not crossing this railroad crossing anymore. People who go through red traffic lights will no longer have to worry about trains going there. RENFE (the Spanish railway service) and ADIF created the Mediterranean corridor from Vandellòs to Tarragona to eliminate some of the most dangerous crossings in Catalonia and Spain in order to avoid accidents and injuries. This railroad crossing will be always in our minds.

niet normaal dat so veel mensen gaan oversteken bij ROOD LICHT!

[@dutchrailroadcrossings]

deze lijkt wel een beetje op een franse. alleen dan met een langere wachttijd

[@LiniaKolejowa207iinne]

Nice! Spanish level crossing. 7 minutes for waiting? ;o

[@WestTrain]

Linia Kolejowa 207™ Yes, I was at a crossing on Mallorca, there it also took ~5min. until there comes a train. Seems to be typically for spanish crossings.

In this case it's because the train stopped at the station and while it's stopped the level crossing remains closed. It's programmed this way because everyday there're other trains (Euromed) that runs around 140 km/h at this point. Usually railroad crossings in Spain close between 30 sec. and 1 min. before the train passes.

Ik vindt die bel irritant. Of ligt het aan mij?

[@112Ishaan]

[@PostenHerbede]

[@abid6688]

Where the trains

[@irishrailvideos9303]

The crossing should be down shorter with everyone jumping the red light because Renfe high speed train's top speed is 400kmh
