What a slow crossing is caused sometimes can’t be from a u curve turn on a railroad track especially having to do 2 crossings before another closer

[@RandomRailfan828]

Nice catch! I wonder how the light got like that, is it purposeful or an accident?

[@MobileRailSpotterRxR]

Thanks! The signal shakes and every once in a while, that light opens.
