My Crossing Signals "Test Run"

[6891man]

Your neighbors aren't bothered by your use of railroad crossing signals in your yard, are they?

[Namloc100]

does the bell on the new gate work?

[Elodea]

We are looking for volunteers with your skills at the Gold Coast Railroad Museum.

You're all set for when they lay track on your property! Honestly your setup is amazing! Great job on it.

[ryanbusman49]

Nice! I want a set of lights like that!

[carbon2983]

on th' 1 rr xing signal, y isnt th' gate on it?

[carbon2983]

how did u get a rr xing signal?

[paullubliner]

WHY did you put crossing signals in your back yard? Why didn't you put in a Wig Wag and a semaphore like normal people do?

[R1Wagon]

Why?

[dturnas]

no offense but who would have RR crossing gates in there backyard?? thumbs up if you agree??!!

[paullubliner]

@dturnas: Obviously a guy who likes them.... WHY ARE YOU EVEN LOOKING?

[PlausableApple4]

Where did you get the money to get all of this?? :O Wow!

[Chito3509]

Is It Even Legal To Own These in your Back Yard?

[trainwatcher17]

@owensri2 Where did you get this and how much does it cost?

[LoganisTrainBoy1]

Nice to see a fellow Michigan Railfan. How do you get this stuff? And how much do you pay. I see similar items on ebay in excess of $1100

[carbon2983]

Are there any more videos of your railroad crossing signals?

[Digtoyman]

That is cool, always like signals aswell as the trains. Love to own a signal garden. Good job.

[gtakrystian]

Ty to produkujesz czy kupiłeś?

[trainguy2020]

@owensri2 great great crossing! I'd like to hear a safetraan mechanical bell and the GS type 2 going off at the same time.

[mrboholt]

How cool!!!

[mreil23]

it looks as if your new gate has the lights spaced out un-even.

[owensri2]

@mreil23: You're right...did that on purpose...because i'm adding a second section to it. The tip light will be moved farther away soon. Good observation! :D

[mreil23]

Haha I am hella good at geometry!

[trainz675]

one thing, it looks like china because the gates would be on the left side of the road if there was a road. LOL

[zachford111]

lol i need those signals lol im getting memory card soon enjoy my videos look at our sucky crossings

[Johnboy19751]

Im a signalman for the Union Pacific and I hate doing the things u love. lol If you havnt already keep trying to get on with one of the railroads I think u would make one heck of a signalman. Congrats on your setup.

[owensri2]

Nice! Do you work on the gang, or are you a maintainer? I want to do the maintaining part. Nothing better than getting paid to do something you love...lol. Why do you hate it so much? The pay is pretty good... :D

[MaxInterjects]

I'd give anything to have a backyard like that! How close is the nearest railroad to your house?

[owensri2]

I'm a block from the CN and Conrail main line.

[Trainfan71]

Do you still have the sensor in the back alley or did you remove it? I like to wait for the trains in my area and so does my 2 year old daughter. Keep the videos coming.

[owensri2]

Yep, it's still out there. :D

[Master784]

I passed ur house going to drivers ed a few months back, i saw the signals in ur yard

[owensri2]

Cool.

[jakubowski2008]

You lucky son of a gun!! You get to play with your railroad crossings without any snow on the ground. I'm Jelous!!!! Very good video by the way!!

[kurvjuh]

Electronical bell shuts down when gate is lowered, probably not to disturb neighbors, right?

[owensri2]

Right on...

[Trainking922]

Mechanicle bell still not working.

[owensri2]

Nope, it's not wired yet. I won't have it running anyways. It'll be too loud for the neighbors. :D

[wrailfan]

Totally bad-ass!

[zachford111]

looks like the signal still isnt heavy enough

[owensri2]

You're right. I'm still missing the fiberglass tip section of the gate. I'll have it soon though. :D

[popiBROS1]

Awesome!
