HOLD CAMERA STEADILY!

Camera view cannot get any wider?

Slowly pan around and show us the crossing.

Thank you for showing us this.

@robertgift Did you already see how old this video is?

[robertgift]

@ricohallo22  April 22, 2010 ?

What does age matter?

Glad that you captured a train.

Wanted to see it approaching.

Nice signals.

American Crossing gates in Holland?

[ricohallo22]

@paullubliner I know they are produced in Holland, so they are dutch gates, but maybe they make gates with the same colors in America too.

[weeardguy]

@paullubliner yes: these are based on the american model, but completely adapted to Dutch standards and needs. When rail-roadcrossings had to be modernised in the 1930's, we took a quick look what America already had in service: the design is quite identical, but they are completely adapted to Dutch situations from the very first AHOB in the Netherlands, on: AHOB is the abbreviation of: Automatische Halve OverwegBomen, which in English is 'Automatic Crossing with Half Barriers'
