VERY RARE - Baldoyle Road level crossing is broken.

[@the_alex_ellis_channel6923]

Best video I've seen in weeks. The problem seemed to be far more complicated than I originally thought.

[@irelandbloke]

That's crazy !

[@acevictor20]

Ya Very Crazy

[@LCL2024]

Indeed!

[@MikoyanGurevichMiG-21]

Bit of a seizure eh?

[@irishrailtrains]

Thanks im glad you enjoyed it. But it was quite funny to see the crossing act up like that.

[@the_alex_ellis_channel6923]

I haven't the faintest Idea. I'm usually a lift and bus lover, I just like level crossings because they're interesting and mechanical. They're just fun to watch.

[@irishrailtrains]

Yes they were, Originally there used to be older lights with a white line around the lights.

[@weeardguy]

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 ;)

[@TheEggler]

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.

[@DaveWVideo]

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.

[@jaynethomash6578]

how many miles of traffic had the crossing made? how long had the crossing been working it's ticket?

[@tiajayne3935]

Why is the level crossing broken

[@jackharris4841]

It better be fix it

[@jackharris4841]

It better be fix it

[@routemasterfan-sb9so]

THE LIGHTS STAY FLASHING RED AT ALL TIMES TILL GATES RAISE !>:(

[@thomasthompson2431]

good on you. better info than you get from Irish rail at times. and it looks like such a cold wet day.

[@irishrailtrains]

Thanks, Aw it was so cold that day my hands froze, Anyways im glad you enjoyed it.

[@jackconran]

Thats Crazy Broken Barrier At Baldoyle Road Level Crossing

[@the_alex_ellis_channel6923]

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.

[@FreedomtowerStudios]

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.

[@user-xk8rb7nn8p]

[@irishrailtrains]

Actually Bayside and Sutton are about a mile away from eachother so this crossing is on the halfway point between them.

[@irishrailtrains]

Thanks im glad you enjoyed, And thanks for the info aswell ;)

[@RonnDon]

There is a level crossing that I often go to and it had a lot of incidents and it was claimed one of the most abused in the UK.

[@irishrailtrains]

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.

[@JoshBollard]

what’s your name

[@chrishines6048]

I have to say that's nuts to see the crossing go rip and cause chaos

[@Aviation_lad_123]

So I was in Ireland I was at a railroad crossing and one of the gates were down while the other 3 Gates were up and the lights were flashing but IRISH Rail came and fixed it

[@irishrailtrains]

Thanks, were you originally from Ireland?

[@katiepearce6110]

What lines do tree trunks use branch lines

[@katiepearce6110]

Hahahahahahaha

[@SGR_Blackout]

This vid reminds me of that one time in a car journey, and the barriers took 3 hours to fix, waste of time... Nice job.

[@madeyuliani1732]

Why the railway track in Ireland does not have of third-rail electrification system in Ireland, if the UK, they are railway track systems was electrified from 3rd rail at 750V DC.

[@jacksonmaurer112]

I cant believe that the barriers are going bloody bonkers. The railway crossing where i live had a malfunction because one of the barriers was down and the other barrier was up and the signals were red in both directions

[@FreedomtowerStudios]

Great Video! That happens alot here in America. I don't know about your country but the crossings in the U.S are controlled by a realy case, and when something happens inside the case, the crossing signals malfunction.

[@irishrailtrains]

No Sutton was alright. As far as I know two crossings on the branch line were acting up. This one and the one on Lauder;s Lane / Burrow Road.

[@JoshBollard]

this crossing is crazy

[@carlallison3762]

I looove the Irish accent

[@LCL2024]

It’s a Dublin accent

[@kdmq]

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.

[@AdamR1985]

kdmq in the U.K. And Ireland the crossings are controlled by a signaller and he watches the crossing through a set of CCTV cameras

[@SGR_Blackout]

I assume the trains triggered the alarms, but the button or the trigger was held on, maybe?

[@Johndeereman2k11]

Very strange!

[@RailVideosNI]

Even i have not seen a crossing acting up before

[@irishrailtrains]

Thanks Man im glad you enjoyed it, what do you think was the problem was with the crossing?

[@rebeccaweston7989]

Hey Steven will you put th video up you were talk about your really good at making video about train you should do one inside the train

[@JMANWiSS]

Every time those gates came up, someone should have gone out into the middle of the road to motion cars across until a train came, get the traffic flowing.

[@transportfan08]

I remember watching this years ago XD

[@E655Caimano]

Excellent video!

[@irishrailtrains]

Thank You !

[@ameliaviolet3023]

the train is proceeding with portion btw

[@ChloekabanOfficial]

*caution

[@JellyBean17]

I've been to Sutton level crossing and Claremont Road and baldoyle Road

[@irishrailtrains]

I know is soo rare to see a crossing act up. Usually this crossing does be fine.

[@yabbaguy]

"well let's see what happens..." *barriers spaz out* "OH MY, IT'S NOT RIGHT. IT'S GONE BONKERS. SOMETHING, YUP, IT'S GONE VERY WRONG."

[@lazoof]

On easter 2018, the same thing happened with sutton crossing

[@user-vh5fe5ys4i]

Really?

[@michaelhawthorne8696]

Strange occurrence, train gate failure, never seen that before. The reporting was interesting to listen to, started to get more dramatic as time went on. Towards the end it sounded like there could have been aliens invading or the end of the world was nearly upon us. lol

[@irishrailtrains]

We will never know for sure what happened.

[@ADJLfanatic52]

I love your guys accent, sounds like mine, but mine is mixed with german. Irish and German heritage.

[@RonnDon]

Langley Green, Oldbury in West Midlands in UK.

[@irishrailtrains]

No there was no storm, it just failed.

[@jimbean7523]

It might have been a good idea to pick up the emergency phone at the crossing and tell them about the fault instead of filming this for 34 minutes

[@JDCullum]

Hi, I enjoyed this very much. The commentary was amusing. Are you from North Dublin? I'm an American actor about to do a play and I've got to attempt a North Dublin accent.

[@irishrailtrains]

Yea it is. But its fixed now.

[@juliemorson2317]

The crossing failed 😢

[@lyndakevinwatton4895]

I have seen it happened in coleraine once

[@irishrailtrains]

Alright, It seems that all the crossings on the network seem to be breaking down, Its quite odd, It usually happens on the older crossings.

[@Unknown32287]

that level crossing is broken a lot that's not normal

[@irishrailtrains]

Maybe.

[@busmaster56]

this is so cool

[@JMANWiSS]

Oh, well at least you were telling them, it, sorry commenting before watching the entire video :)

[@irishrailtrains]

Yea I know they don't allow them to fast.

[@tobyhallam3430]

wewho wewho!

[@SGR_Blackout]

Was there a storm there and it messed up the electric systems, or did it just fail?

[@irishrailtrains]

Maybe that might have happened.

[@katiedouglas4424]

how old is this crossing. if its old it would be so simple.

[@irishrailtrains]

Did you get it on video? I will go and have a look at it.

[@celovity_747]

The only level crossings to brake are Sutton Bray Sandymount and Landsdown Road.

[@LCL2024]

Well apparently this one can break too!

[@irishrailtrains]

Indeed!

[@irishrailtrains]

Indeed.

[@ADJLfanatic52]

No, I was born in the US, but I'm the only person in my family to have an accent

[@irishrailtrains]

Well that's what most people did in their cars as they went over the crossing.

[@irishrailtrains]

Ah I see, But for some odd reason the barriers go up and down and the alarm and lights keep oging of.

[@ADJLfanatic52]

50 MPH: Highway speed in U.S.

[@JPLCUK]

Is that in Scotland

[@Newtownabbeyist208]

Howth Ireland

[@JPLCUK]

Ok

[@noobboy9007]

This might have been a malfunction... (Also, my actual KZbin name is boynoob7.)

[@HesitantSignal]

I wonder if the crossing just kept timing out.

[@SGR_Blackout]

No, but they won't say.

[@harrymb04]

Have u got the class 8100 or 8300 limeted edition model dart?

[@irishrailtrains]

No I haven't actually, its just too expensive !

[@levelcrossingspotter-lcsra3368]

Sometimes the good old whack helps out.

[@lyndakevinwatton4895]

what is it like when Gates are not working

[@user-xk8rb7nn8p]

This

[@rosheenmaher4912]

Is it rare for any level crossing to go bonkers

[@irishrailtrains]

Yeah it was quite funny actually.

[@irishrailtrains]

I know its quite rare to see actually.

[@Johndeereman2k11]

What day was this?

[@irishrailtrains]

No really, because it has causing traffic jams and disruption with train services.

[@tannawannavannabittannawan7138]

BONKERS!!! Just plain BONKERS! (Indeed!)!

[@irishrailtrains]

Oh rite I better look it up.

[@NELincsTransport]

Great video

[@irishrailtrains]

Cheers!

[@user-vh5fe5ys4i]

Nothing like that has never happened to the railroad Crossings of America!

[@irishrailtrains]

Thanks ;)

[@jackharris1stchannel153]

I know there is so many misuse because the level crossing is broken

[@katiedouglas4424]

some times it looked a little like it was inverted.

[@irishrailtrains]

Saturday the 16th of Febuary 2013.

[@irishrailtrains]

Ah its ok, it over a half an hour long so at some sage you would get sick listening to me talking.

[@irishrailtrains]

Did you get a video of it?

[@BollardsSpotterUK]

17:27 hangman

[@albievowles6417]

THIS IS CRAZY!!!!!!!!

[@LCL2024]

OH NO ITS ALL GONE HORRIBLY WRONG

[@ItzOgRCF77LHere]

18:03 ThIs ThInG iS gOiNg NiNeTy!

[@ItzOgRCF77LHere]

15:02 you serious?

[@irishrailtrains]

No not really, but I would suggest you have a good camera and you get a good video of the train in a good location and don't shake the camera much, that's how I think you get more views.

[@EARTrains95]

I think it is controlled from bray i think I do not know

[@railsceneireland8770]

ER Trains Nope, CTC in Connolly

[@georgemoorcroft5687]

id say we are sorry trains on this branch are cancled due to crossing broken we are sorry for this

[@rpgllcphones7356]

Great video but you kept on repeating the same thing over and over again but I guess because of what was going on it was that crazy so it's okay good video by the way

[@irishrailtrains]

Yea I seen that.
