Odd Light Setups At Railroad Crossings

[@TheRailfan360]

Quite some weird light setups indeed! It just goes to show ya that signal maintainers will do what it takes to make people stop.

[@lydiao599]

Agreed

[@Crosley-1520]

And people still don't.

[@gamersforever36yt22]

For safety reasons because people like to dumb ass runners and not think for the safety of getting killed or hurt by a train

[@mbcommandnerd]

That gate on the right at 4:00 is ENORMOUS, good lord! You can visibly see how much the gate motor struggles to lift it back up again.

[@captntc]

It's litterally 3x the size of the rest of the crossing lmao

[@K-o-R]

Surprised they didn't just put a bigger counterweight on the back.

[@ap70621]

Might need more counterweights.

[@SteelCitySirensandTrains]

Seems odd but very unique and cool at the same time

@@smiles29099 It just does, probably because of how far up the lights are.

[@phillipwalling7470]

They may be odd and weird, but as long as they work, I ain't complaining.

[@salvadormedinafeliciano6454]

Nice rail fanning

[@VoxelBro]

Thanks for this video. I love wierd signals like this. First time seeing your channel!

[@CatFusionOFFICIAL]

The first one isn’t that weird it’s just doesn’t have its back plate

[@JackMustang]

That one Volvo stopped in the middle of the tracks as the signals started to go at 5:31. Plus, that semi truck almost hit the crossing gate as soon as it was going down at 4:20.

[@melodytheyeen]

the first one looks like something put together with parts from home depot. joking aside, that crossing is fairly normal in the Nederlands, there is no foot bridge at the end of the transit station, they just build a crossing like that, sometimes they build them without the lights, just gates and bells. but the usual is a total of 2 lights by themselves and 2 gates for the whole crossing. and i am sure your wondering where is the rubber sun guard around the lights, im wondering why they missed that. other than that, the cantilever crossings shown have lights pointed at incoming traffic, and some of them like in the second clip have offside lights like in the center island, again, pointing at all incoming traffic. that includes traffic in both the left and right turn lanes

[@jayo1212]

@1:13 Looks like the top pair is pointed more towards the left...

[@MobileRailSpotterRxR]

Pointed slightly to the left for both main traffic on Bradshaw rd and the left turn lane on Folsom Blvd to be able to see the lights. The back side top ones are also pointed slightly to the left for the opposite lanes.

[@FunbotboyGamingCool]

Nice bro! You should find more realistic crossing like this! Also i love ur videos!

[@Ploryandyoopfan]

What why in the begging of the video why is there a trangle thing in the corner of the screen

[@LegoWormNoah101]

6:49 that tram is using a WCH e-bell

[@TheSegacampGamerandWerecamp]

13:31 I do like the Railroad/Traffic Light Hybrid! Barely see any of those anywhere!

[@Gevoface]

11:54 UP 9901s horn is MUSICAL!!! Perfectly in tune

[@ap70621]

At 4:20, not only are lights mounted on a bridge, but the crossbuck is different, it's not at right angles, it is similar to ones used in Australia and the early 20th century US.

[@K-o-R]

US crossings don't muck around do they? Those barriers are dropping *immediately.* 13:45 Look at that adorable little pedestrian barrier with ALL the lights.

[@KurtisCharlton]

That is an odd configuration! Nice video👍🏻🚂

[@lydiao599]

Yeah

[@TheJakeman789]

I think it needs a few more lights. That overkill and ridiculous.

[@Crosley-1520]

It's amazing how many people don't respect the red lights.

[@OtterMan310]

I know! They don’t get that railroad crossing lights are like traffic lights but more dramatic

[@KaciCooperations]

That was unusual crossing! Nice video btw!

[@tsg931]

8:03 where was this one located? Im just curious. Edit: How come almost every crossing in this compilation has unsynchronized lights?

[@MobileRailSpotterRxR]

That one's located near the intersection of Folsom Blvd & S Watt Avenue in Sacramento, California.

[@jasminehyman2671]

0:18 fun fact: yellow line is the shortest Line in the Cta. From demster Skokie to Howard

[@Norfolksouthernproduction-ns]

0:23 why is that blurry?

[@SportyTrainGuy]

Is it just me, or does the LED lights act like incandescent lights when the video is zoomed out

[@milopadilla3251]

How is Oakton - Skokie Station unusual?

[@MobileRailSpotterRxR]

The look of the crossing should answer itself comparing to others.

[@ThatOneBayAreaRailfanDude]

That first clip shows the lights look pretty small compared to real life ones

[@freebrickproductions]

They're 8 inch lights without the 20 inch backgrounds they typically have.

[@ThatOneBayAreaRailfanDude]

what's with the Blurred Spot in the Beginning? 🤔🤔🤔 After the Train Passes the Blurred Spot is gone and it doesn't show anything there like Personal Information.....

[@munkhaiasefluinu5853]

I thought train railroad crossings would just be normal but I didn't know they were weird looking ones too

[@itsmehome1505]

Have you seen New Jersey? They go crazy with the lights (Search up Belmar station 10th ave railroad crossing and you'll see what I mean)

[@OtterMan310]

9:48 I filmed a crossing with lights like that. It’s 205th Avenue in Hillsboro, OR

[@PattyCruz-du9by]

One thing to Note about the train is that it's using One of the crossings bells WCH type 4 ebell

[@troyBORG]

I was going to say most of these trains are going so slow, and are very short. Except for the 2nd to last one. I've seen 5+min trains go though my town, at like full speed. Where they have engines in the middle, and also one at the end of it.

[@crollwtide9452]

The first one looks exactly how I'd expect a railroad crossing to look coming from out of my workplace with the tracks running down the sidewalk.

[@crlaw75]

Neat setups.

[@Trackside_magpie_7535]

Why are the lrt’s using a wch bell?

[@ezrobot7]

4:22 i find it interesting how the one to the right has no gates at all

[@verschub]

4:25: The barriers close very quickly after the traffic lights light up :-D Clearance times!? Here in Europe/Germany it is the case that the traffic lights switch on, then only after about 10 seconds do the barriers begin to lower (at many level crossings there is even radar monitoring, where the barriers only close when the crossing is clear). This takes evacuation times into account. As with the truck, it was already very tight, something that will never happen in such a critical way here in Europe/Germany. You should give pedestrians and vehicles a little time to clear the crossings to prevent them from getting stuck between the closed barriers ;-)

[@DOTD-Ko7382]

USA: Let's put RR Crossing Lights on the side of bridges and put more gates than necessary Japan:

[@ImEpic854]

*puts sideways lights*

[@Planeandtrains]

I love rr crossings and the odd ones

[@adamghimenti6988]

Nice video compilation

[@marciasherman2376]

I Noticed That There Was No Front Railroad Crossing Lights. How Odd Is That?

[@sgtdebones]

3:20 Glen Dr is no longer special. LA Metro's K Line has the same basic setup at Oak Street, and High Street but with quad gates

[@sgtdebones]

Centinela Ave also

[@MobileRailSpotterRxR]

There's other crossings with the same setup as Glenn Dr already before it's an unusual setup though. I never said it was special its just unusual.Just because the K Line has new ones doesn't change that it's still an unusual setup all of them made simular are. This isn't a compilation saying these are the only crossings with these setups I never said or thought that. The K Line doesn't change anything. If SACRT built another crossing with this setup or any other system and railroad it still doesn't change anything because it's a unusual setup you won't find toe easily anywhere but they exist that's the point of this video.

[@sgtdebones]

@@MobileRailSpotterRxR Well it is actually more usual than you think either way, especially when it comes to compact corridors where the ROW is basically hugging the paralleling road.

[@MobileRailSpotterRxR]

@@sgtdebones But still not usually enough to come across every other crossing therefore still unusual.

[@sgtdebones]

@@MobileRailSpotterRxR Maybe in your area. A more unusual crossing is one like Walnut Ave on Metrolink in San Dimas, CA where the cantilever signal is positioned for the paralleling road (which make sense when you view that crossing), or the Estrelita Dr crossing on the Sprinter near Vista-San Marcos, CA

[@marciasherman2376]

its safe to say that the tram line with the blue yellow white livery sucks at making railroad crossings lol

[@MobileRailSpotterRxR]

Well actually I just showed the ones with odd setups since that is the compilation. SACRT Light Rail system owns a lot of nice setup crossings. Glenn Dr, Bidwell St, and Mine Shaft Ln has signals with no front lights because there is no roadway coming into them directly only turn lanes so they only need the side and back side lights. Watt Ave & Sunrise Blvd also are owned by SACRT and so far I haven't seen any other railroad or light rail system own crossings with extra sets of lights attached to the bottom of bridges.

[@dancantore76]

People that just SIT there several seconds AFTER the gates lift really piss me off. Just like the ones that sit there after the regular intersection light turns green. Fucking MOVE.
