What Happens When Railroad Crossing Signals Malfunction? Highway Railroad Crossing Failure

[@train1962]

Sitting here alongside the CSX CC Sub.watching a Jaw Tooth train video. What more could anyone ask for. Thumbs up and thanks Brian.

[@JawTooth]

Enjoy! I hope you see a train!

The I&O! I’ve seen so many of JT’s videos on it that I feel as if I know it personally. This was a great video as it addresses things we always take for granted, such as the gates don’t work. This is why I love to watch. JT sticks his camera in where the unimaginative don’t think to go and gets us shots that only make us want more. The short line action is where it’s at; the everyday hauling and drilling that is the lifeblood of the line. And no one - repeat, no one - covers it quite like JT. He’ll remember to cover things that fly past others and provide explanations to keep us posted. The best part of all is that he never rests on his laurels. He’s always looking for something new to show us, as with the recent series on the shoo-fly he found in Kentucky. Keep going JT. We’ll be watching.

[@404BOOMER]

I agree with you. Love that color scheme. Wish the model makers would make more of them Especially indiana & ohio. My fav.

[@neil442]

More amazing 4k video -the clarity of detail is spot on for modellers -you can read the stencils on the centre beams ok . Crisp day with a lovely blue sky -but looked well chilly for filming ! Nice thermal hat is a must out there plus the new winter coat ! Take care out there we don't want any accidents with you involved Jawtooth ! Regards

Now Jason wont yell at you for not wearing the "Choooook"!! Once again, great video son!!

Great video Jawtooth! Great catch on the malfunctioning crossing gate! Love the orange paint scheme on that engine! Thanks for sharing! Love the leslie horn!

[@JawTooth]

Thank you very much!

[@johnsmart964]

Fantastic video, Jaw Tooth, thank you for this. You got the right place to hear the wheels go over the railroad track joints, sounded great. The locomotives that belong to the companies owned by Genesee and Wyoming are always well turned out in their black and orange colour scheme.

[@constanttraveler]

That was the most protected crossing I've ever seen. By the time the train crossed both gates were down, both wig wags were loud and proud, and there were three flagmen

[@JawTooth]

They made sure it was safe because that is a busy highway

[@porkchop2218]

What is a wig wag ?

[@constanttraveler]

@@porkchop2218 that's the type of alternating dual red light used at railroad crossings. It's simulating a lantern being moved side to side as a warning

[@kevinmiller6324]

@@JawTooth I don't see how this qualifies as a malfunction? Sure the arm is stuck in the upright position, and a railroad repairman is on the scene fixing it, but my opinion of a malfunction is when NOTHING works. This crossing had its lights and bell activated, even though only one arm was down.

Great Job Jaw Tooth! I have been looking into moving to the Cincinnati Metro - Northern Kentucky area. I didn't realize y'all get this much snow, nor did I realize it got that cold in the Southern part of Ohio.

The last few years have been very mild. We usually get a lot more snow than this.

[@justinsanders2705]

My wife and I were at a rail crossing not far from my home last night my wife said she has never seen a train crossing there. I got out and looked at the rail and told her its been a long time because of the rust on the rail. She asked "how did you know that?" The school of Jaw Tooth.

Good catch and video of a sunny winter day in Ohio. We haven't had enough of those up here in the Cleveland area.

[@JawTooth]

Me neither, sun is rare down here in winter. I try to get out when its sunny

[@billmorris2613]

If you find crossing signals / gates that are not working properly look for the electrical cabinet and there should be a toll free phone number that you could call the RR on to report the problem. There may be an ID number unique to that crossing to use when reporting the problem. Some times there may be a sign on or very near to the pole the lights and / or gates are attached too with the phone number and crossing ID number.

[@JawTooth]

Thanks for the information Bill!

[@jonglass]

I bet that if you hadn't been there, recording with your camera at that one crossing, that truck would have gone, but he didn't want to take chances with you there watching. :-)

[@JawTooth]

Yeah, I was hoping they didn’t notice me

[@petebachelder1131]

Now there's some live action son, broken gate, the railroad boys are there to fix it, and a rusty rail to a shiny rail !! Great video !! Wow look at you back in the day with long hair. Wooooooo !!

Very interesting video. I much prefer it when there's more happening than a long line of trains and most of the cars are the same. No offense. Love the color and sounds of the indiana & ohio. So all in all I really liked this one. Thanks Jaw Tooth. I watch all your videos.

At the last crossing, that Tahoe ONLY stopped because you were standing there, filming. If you wouldn't have been there, s/he would've kept on going. 🤣🤣

I think part of the reason the SUV stopped at all was because you were standing there with a camera. Not saying he thought you were a cop, but ... Stay safe JT.

See the little blue sign below the flashers. Every grade crossing has one. It has a telephone number on it to call if you see a (unattended) signal malfunction or dangerous crossing situation.

[@AndreiTupolev]

Nice to see a professionally run shortline. Certainly a high degree of concern for safety there.

If you ever go back to La Grange KY, look on the buildings by Main Street for the Virtual Railfan cameras, there’s one facing north and one south. I know one (if not both) is on this building: 111 W Main St La Grange, KY . Wave to the camera and you will likely be on their (typically) two day grab bag videos. (You could also hold a sign to promote your channel if you wanted and they’d likely include you.) VRF also has cameras at other places you’ve been, such as Deshler, OH and Plant City, FL. On your last La Grange train Video I saw that you positioned yourself right by the cameras and had actually watched the train live on VRF. I didn’t even realize that you were there recording the same train I watched. Having grown up near La Grange, I loved to watch the trains, but didn’t know of the VRF camera (installed there mid 2017) until a couple years ago. I figured I’d let you know in case you were unaware and let you decide what to do from their. Either way, I’m looking forward to the next neat video you share with us!

[@victortinmouth1283]

Indiana & Ohio, with the Genessee & Wyoming paint scheme. Up here in my part of Quebec, Canada, we have the St. Lawrence & Atlantic (also G&W) which runs from the rail yard in Richmond (where it picks up cars brought down from Montreal by CN), down to below the US border. When making up the trains to head south, they often block the level crossing at the south end of town, which is just a few feet from one of the 2 bridges heading across the river (resulting in traffic sometimes backing up half way across the bridge.) The yard starts several hundred feet north of the crossing. A side note: The old passenger station (which had rooms for railway workers upstairs) has been restored and turned into a restaurant, reception hall, and a motel. From the upper floor, there is a good view of the 10-track wide rail yard.

[@porkchop2218]

I live near some kind of silos that has tracks that lead into the plant that are covered in rust, also there are weeds growing on the track. The main track is however heavily used. We have bidirectional trains 🚂 zooming past our apartment all the time. There is a narrow spot that concerns me because if the gates fail and it’s a no horn area, this spot of freeway access road is too narrow to look both ways going 60mph to see if a train is going to cross the road. If you ask me, it’s a matter of when their will be an accident. .

On that other crossing, if it's a long straight road that people go down at speed, I'm a little surprised they only have have lights and no gates, and not even clang-clang-clangs. Not to mention that the lights seemed to be flashing for about five minutes before the train appeared, is it any wonder that people sometimes disregard them

[@bobsacamano3212]

Didn't show the after effects of the rails after the train past...was curious to see how shiny they got

I've saw other vids of trains approaching crossings where either the cross arms don't come down and/or the lights dont come and there isn't any maintainece people around, but, the train comes into view traveling, maybe 5 m/h. When crossing signals run amuck, do they send a warning signal to the train to warn them the lights or the arm, aren't working?

I don't know how they knew this one was malfunctioning but maybe it has been an issue.
