Signals change as trains occupy blocks nearer them. That's so opposing trains know well in advance that something is occupying a block further up the line. If they did not change colors, there would be a VERY HIGH chance of a head on collision.
Yes, that is because people in the South actually know how to wait for a train. People in the north are crazy, even the back roads which are barely used have gates and lights.
Nicely done! Good picture quality and effects. I like the defect detector on the scanner. Sounds just like the CSX detectors in my area. Keep up the good work.

was red?

Cool, a crossing without bells, lights, or gates. You might find only one of those up here if you know where to look. Great early morning video!

That's why the "private crossing" sign was invented- becauses northerners couldn't take a hint (j/k)!

Really good video man!
I like the compilation of signal, scanner & train. It's almost like you're there. Great railfanning experience vid.

Nice!! Catfish and a Top Hat won't go wrong, especially since the catfish appears more on an NS line.
