[vettelover2009]

[videomaker557]

[Philios2Glory1]

wow that is a nice K5LA

[jmream1]

Will have some of those bells on the crossing lead to sharon yard in sharonville ohio

[jmream1]

Will still have some left in cincinnati

[usnavymuscle]

American and Canadian train whistles are the best sounding in the world.

[buswizard]

I like how the train in your watermark flashes the ditch lights!

[spongebobpaul]

Why were there 3 Amtraks? That was not a Union Pacific.

[NsTrainMan07]

what is so, "rare" about this signal??!

[kearthfan101]

@NsTrainMan07 There aren't many of them left.

[npadul30]

Pretty epic seeing that first one was loco #2

[CarterUP1998]

The other crossing gate on the other side I think has a Western Culles Hayes Electric Bell

[AlexFromCooks]

Thats cool I love the horn!! :)

[KMCR175]

the safetran bell sounds really ......weird i like the old school bell better

[gregrocks66]

Gate on the left side is slow

[Trainking922]

I see another crossing in the distance. Whats that one for?

[megatwingo]

Nice train and crossing. Thumbs up!

[NebulaTrain99]

Great catching the sound of that Safetran Type-1 electronic bell. Sadly, it succumbed when both these cantilevers were replaced entirely. I noticed this while riding the PRS special.

[90Blakey]

love that amtrak bell. nice sound.

[qwandiddy]

I like those Old school crossing signals.

[steven92336]

@qwandiddy They are gone now.

[qwandiddy]

@steven92336 WOW, there's still plenty of them here in chicago suburbs.

[TommyBNSF]

@steven92336 damn i love those Griswold gates.

[AmtrakSurfliner768]

@steven92336 Pee!

[hydrixhaulin]

@steven92336 there's a couple in philadelphia

[RRboyLEGOboy]

Great Video !

[jakubowski2008]

How did they make it where the light don't flash when the gate go's up?

[TheSouthernPacific]

@jakubowski2008 They used separate flasher relays.

[SantaFebuff]

Coolio. I should ask to railfan next weekend near a crossing in Peotone, IL that has a Type 1.

[coastergreg]

wow the lowest p42 number ive seen is 13 on 3751! GREAT SHOT!

[whammy3323]

I find it odd that the gate lights and the signal lights don't sync as they flash... Plus it's odd that the signal lights and e-bells turn off, yet as the gates rise, the gate lights are still flashing.... Who owns this line??

[steven92336]

@whammy3323 Union Pacific.

[crossinggate84]

@steven92336 That's weird, Union Pacific dosn't do that with their gates. It's CSX that likes to do that.

[Theworldking100]

@crossinggate84 Or CONRAIL.

[uberstupidmove]

@whammy3323 From an electrical engineering standpoint it makes sense as to why the lights on the gate would continue blinking after the signal lights had stopped; One would imagine that the closest thing to failsafe that you would get on something like this would be to have a sensor noting the gate's position; If the gate was lower than X the lights would turn on; If the gate was Higher than X they would turn off. So if you notice they do turn off before they are all the way up.

[UltraJoosh]

Great video.

[kylecascadden]

they have a whole lot of type ones in san diego

[AmtrakSurfliner768]

@kylecascadden Where in SD?!

[kylecascadden]

@AmtrakSurfliner768 Like everywhere. Here in LA there's lots too!

[trainguy799]

Ive got a few vids @ this crossing, but there not uploaded yet

[AmtrakSurfliner768]

Geez, that crossing doesn't give you a whole lot of warning...

[steven92336]

@AmtrakSurfliner768 Nope!

[justcause2221]

@steven92336 Yup!

[TheSouthernPacific]

Thanks steven! AWESOME SHOT!!

[steven92336]

@TheSouthernPacific No problem! Thanks!
