The signal did warn of the approaching train in ample time, and the train was way into the crossing before the signal went dark. So if someone were to hit the train at that point they're either blind, retarted or stupid and deserve to die. Granted the signal shouldn't do that but common sense is common sense.
On a one-track line it may not be a big deal. However on a two-track line if the signal goes off as another train is coming, that could spell major problems!!
There used to be a signal in Flowery Branch, GA that would randomly go down, wait a few seconds, and go up. I've even seen it go up in the middle of a train, go back down, and come back up for the rest of the train. Luckily, after someone hit the gate, the crossing mechanism was replaced, and it all works fine now.
I think ur a fag, i think watching train films is a hell of a lot more interesting that making Halo films, Halo is for frigggin 10 yr olds! so back off xxHaloVidsxx u fuck leave him alone
As far as I can tell, this crossing is a DC only crossing, without any motion sensors or predictors. If that's the case, here's what happened: The train shunted the approach, so the interlocking relay dropped that approach, activating the crossing. The train went through the crossing, but the remaining cars were still in the first approach, keeping the crossing active. The other approach is locked out from dropping. The island circuit didn't work at all, or there was a LOS (Loss of Shunt).
(Continued from above) Once the last train car exited the approach, the crossing shut off because the interlocking relay picked up, and the island circuit didn't work at all to keep the crossing active until the train exited the island. That's the best info I can give without looking at the crossing circuitry. I could be wrong on the type of dectection, but I'm certian that there isn't any motion sensor or predictor because the crossing shuts off immediatly after the train clears the island.
Makes Sence. But Somtimes When The Trains Are Either Going Faster, Or There Is A Light Power Move Over The Crossing, The Signals Time Out When The Train Is Past The Crossing About 300 Feet Away. You Can See It In My Other Malfunction Video.
haha, lol, chill out man. I know its a lot for Mass Central. You gotta lighten up. What I don't get ho is why they sometimes have two engines for like a two car train?
i live in wisconsin and yestrday i got a shot of the amtrak but... it would not let me put it on you tube. there was 2 engins like u have and a empier bilder it was my first time that i saw a enpier!
We don't have any wig wag signals in Massachusetts any more. The last one was on the old Edaville Rail Road in Carver and they took it out when they shorten the line.
That's not a big deal. As long as the train occupies the crossings before the gates go up. But some people are dumb and would hit the train simply because the gates were not down or the lights flashing...
Well, I wouldn't go as far as calling this a malfunction. The lights did provide 20 seconds of warning before the train crossed the grade. It looks like the track circuit for the crossing just needs to be slightly extended so the lights remain illuminated until the train has clear the crossing entirely.
Yes you are are all right, The reason i freaked out was because if there was a family watching this video with pure minded kids that don't know any swears and heard the bad use of my words, i wouldnt want to be the one to set a bad example. Also,if a parent wanted to keep there child's mind free of bad words and a kid watched a harmless train video and herd a very bad word then that kid would be corrupt for life! Thats my point of view.
one question: when what this video filmed? looks like about 02'

Signals activate at :34
Train arrives at 1:05 = 31 seconds warning time.

Why the STOP signs when you have signals?
