As far as I know that's a system-thing in Holland. The motors in our barrier-systems can only be reversed when another train activates the crossing again (in the past, barriers had to open fully until they could be lowered again) I don't know about signals over there, but it could be that crossings also control signals over there (as long as crossing isn't fully closed and locked, the signal won't clear) That's something we almost don't have in Holland. @ author: Love the accent in the video ;)

Good video. I've actually saw this happen on 2 or 3 occasions on the line between Athlone & Roscommon @ Hudson Bay & Ballymurray crossings. I'd to ring the Gardai to deal with the Hudson Bay 1 as I lived beside it and the alarm was doing me head in and also coz cars were refusing to cross the line so the Garda was on 'point duty' @ the crossing until Irish Rail could figure out what was wrong. At Ballymurray I was caught in the traffic and everyone was just crawling through the crossing.

In Orange County, Calif., where I live, when the gates are stuck down, the police will show up and help direct traffic to help drivers turn around and go back the way they came. Once the problem has been reported to the railway company, the dispatcher issues orders by 2-way radio to all approaching trains and advises all trains to observe the rules pertaining to out-of-order level crossings. This is known as Rule 6.32.2 in the U.S. General Code of Operating rules. The train must approach the crossing at restricted speed, and upon arrival at the crossing a member of the crew must get off the train and flag it across the crossing by hand. The engineer also sounds the horn with the "approaching crossing code" of two long blasts, a short blast, and a long blast, even if it is a Quiet Zone crossing. This kind of malfunction can be caused by faulty sensors in the track or a fault in the sensors that detect the gates are fully raised up. The gates will drop then raise up again to try to make contact with the detector sensors and shut off the alarms and lights.

Rather than wait for Irish rail - why not call the police, traffic management is part of their job and they should have been here to direct traffic, same as they do when traffic lights break.

Your welcome. Crossings in the U.S are controlled by the relay case and wires attached to the track. When a train locomotive runs over the wire it sends a electric current to the relay case. When the relay case picks up th current, it judges the speed of the train and the distance the train is from the crossing. After this, the current goes to the crossing signals and activates them. When a train clears the crossing, the process is repeated and shuts off the signals. The relay case is a compter.

@irishrailtrains11 жыл бұрын
Thanks. I thought the crossings in the U.S were controled by something in the station. But here in Ireland I think most of the crossings are controled by the main stations on the main lines. For the Northern Line, Howth Branch and Rosslare main line I presume Connolly Station controls all the the crossings on those lines I just said. And Id say for the rest of the lines in Ireland the crossings are possibly controled by Heuston Station and Cork (Kent) station.

Level crossings are triggered by electric current. So if a conductive object is left laying on the tracks, the nearest 2 or 3 crossings will be affected.
