@CapPicard I'm in Denver and I know of one intersection in the whole city, which is possibly the only one in the whole state, where they're horizontal. It's at the entrance of an upscale office park so I'm convinced they mounted them horizontally just to make the entrance there more extravagant or something.
But I'm used to verticals as well so it's strange anytime we go visit Dallas. There are just a few other states where the norm is to mount signals horizontally.
This intersection is located in Grapevine, TX. I looked this up on Google maps, and it appears the signal for oncoming traffic (across from the tracks) has a "smart traffic movement" neon sign (which you may see the rear of in this video), which directs traffic in the left lane to turn left, while directing traffic in the right lane to go in either direction (straight ahead, left, or right) when no train is present.
@rpmangin To continue, however, when the signal is operating in limited sequence mode, the "smart sign" changes for the right lane to direct traffic to turn either left or right, in order to keep traffic in that lane moving.
I don't get what the point of this video was. I don't like to see traffic and traffic signals intermixing with RR crossings, though. Was that what this was all about? I think a little clarification would be good.
Pre-Emption: When a train is approaching, the traffic lights will switch red for the street parallel to the tracks and give the cross street a green light so as to clear the tracks before the gates go down and the train arrives.
Limited Seq: The traffic light continues to 'cycle' for traffic that can continue to go (but won't allow, for example, a left-turn arrow over the tracks)
It simply shows the sequence which allows drivers, perhaps like you, stupid enough to stop on tracks, to get off and not be trapped behind stopped vehicles.
it,s about the lights. It's green for long time just so everybody gets to move from tracks and then just the paralel light are greeen until the crossing is clear
A.P means the light is making its sequen to change T.C.G means the light turns green so the cars can get off the track before a train comes L.S. means the light will go through a different sequen reacting to the train got it now ^_^
Nice setup you have there, light turns green to clear the track, in my town the lights just go blinking but that means the samething to always the people on the tracks go first.
I am a railfan, and appreciate this video, except that it is owned by a railroad signaling technology company, and is therefore not your video to be posting on Youtube. You have the free will to make your own decision regarding the matter, but I wish you would remove this video. Post videos that are your own content please. Thank you.
Just do a google search for "Railroad Controls Limited"; you'll find videos on their website, and this is one of their videos (it's the "Mustang Court Crossing" video). The person who posted the video should not be posting it without the permission of Railroad Controls Limited. Read the YouTube Terms of Use about posting content that's not yours.
Apart from the railway interest, note how the second truck waited until it was safe to cross the crossing instead of proceeding because the light had turned green. This is a good example of defensive driving and a lesson we should all remember.
The second truck is supposed to stop at all RR crossings when he or she is hauling Hazmat. they are supposed to stop 15 to 50 feet away from the line.
lol nothing happens...I saw lots happen, barriers go down, truck pulls up, train goes past, etc etc...what were you idiots looking at? I guess when you've been watching C grade horror movies (Scream etc) all your life, your senses are all srewed up.
A) i have plenty of videos, there just not on my profile, look up lewisfhg to find em
B)i never said i wanted anyone to die, dont put words in my mouth, and if your gunna call me an ass hole grow some balls and type it out.
C)this is deffinatly not a educational site,its a plaace for ppl to post really stupid videos, thats all. and for some who doesnt care about what i want u sure r making a big deal out of it.
This is great because it shows what is SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN. I take it you would have preferred the semi loaded with petroleum products to move in front of the moving passenger train. Note those were open-air cars which offer almost no protection to the occupants. To me, you're the &^%hole for wanting someone to die for your entertainment.
Well said. There are just too many morans on here surfing youtube looking for shock pleasure without a understanding that this site is also a educational channel
I wish SOMETHING exciting would happen for god sakes, even if it had nothing to do with the train hitting something. Maybe a couple of hobos could of been fighting in the middle of the street....
