@chinchinzero Thanks! :D I took this with my old (~2001) Sony Handycam, which has a stereo mic. I recently got a Canon SX-230HS digital camera which takes much better videos, though haven't compared the audio to this thing yet.
@robertgift Well probably because this is the end of the line, so without manual operation, there's no way for the sensors to have a good warning that the train is coming. The end of the line is directly after the crossing.
The last crossing does take a little long to deactivate, yes.
And no, this train has nowhere to turn around. It acts as a shuttle along the single line. It goes right from the end of the line, to a station just on the other side of a train bridge.
I've never seen any railroad crossings in Massachusetts that stop the bells when the crossing gates begin to rise. Usually when I see a railroad crossing around my area they just ring the bells the whole time (they used to stop the bells once the gates lowered, but not anymore)
@wileyk209zback Unfortunately I have only been to a few different crossings, so I don't know about the rest of Massachusetts. I know Ashland's two crossings do stop the bells once the gates have lowered.
That horn is almost orgasmic. Your video has GREAT audio. Nice clips!

Why manually operated crossing signals?
Because train is stopped there and departs from that location?
Last crossing takes too long to deactivate.
Unfortunate hauling that second engine. Train cannot turn around?

That Route 28 RR Crossing always have to do it manually due to the heavy traffic flow.

@speedjpo Due to heavy traffic flow? That's interesting to know that, that would be the reason.

There is a Traffic Light there also.
