why does railroad crossing as bells still on

[storm24awesome]

nice video



[rpmangin]

Notice at 4:39 the traffic signal flashes red in all four directions, because of the stopped traffic on the side street. This form of preemption is designed to discourage impatient drivers from blocking the intersection, as well as allowing traffic moves that don't conflict with the train (such as proceeding along the parallel road, or turning left off the approach across from the tracks onto the parallel road). It is also acceptable to have the light flash yellow on the parallel road.

four vehicles ignoring the signal at 4:00 YIKES

Awesome to see this taking place, something that should be done more widely. The ONLY time you are authorized to go through a signal like that is if you are unable to safely come to a stop when they activate and you are also required to remained stopped until the gates are up and the bells/lights shut off. Nice looking UP power there as well. :)

[BostonUrbEx]

This was all well and good to promote crossing safety... but... was it necessary for the officer to go AROUND the gates to ticket someone for crossing before they went down? Doesn't set much of an example...

[Trainking922]

note at 4:39 , The stoplights began to malfunction.

[blockemall]

Actually, the signals are programmed to do that when a train goes through a signaled intersection.

[zr1rob]

cops and trains go together like teddy bears and donuts. Except when there's hefty fines to be garnered from the yokels to pay for the blown out city budget. "We have to make sure the illegals get their health care you know"

I remember vaguely in the Sacramento, CA area old Southern Pacific & Western Pacific signals may have done the same. This must be a former Southern Pacific line operating on older signal operations. I was recently in Sacramento & all of the newer & some of the older signals, the lights continue flashing until the gates are completely up & the signals are completely deactivated.

[38yofrmut]

I can understand the bells stop ringing while the signals deactivate, but I didnt know the lights stop flashing while the gates are going up.

[PeavineRailfanner]

Cool, the second unit was unpatched!

[bloo96]

TPD motors at there best!

[trainboi21]

why do the lights go off when the gates go up? ive never seen that before. that seems strange.

[pdfsmail1]

excellent filming! Wish I could see more railroad crackdowns like this.

[GothicRunes]

You're supposed to stop when the red lights come on! That was a good Operation Lifesaver sting!

[crapper1]

when is he coming back i miss seeing his videos on youtube

[lumix14]

That crossing needs a new relay.

That guy should have known better. It was nice of you to put up William's video Cory. ;)Tell him he gets a 5/5.

[larry84988]

Ah, lovely Tucson Arizona. Those are some cool looking gate lights, I've never seen those before.

[UP1340]

[csxrailfan2]

SP POWER!!!

[DRfermasMs]

right on brother!!!

[lionbill]

Wow! That's some intersection. Good action and a great video.

Thanx

[MBTA000]

That ought to show losers that try to beat a train or crossing that is dumb and unsafe excellent video

[blockemall]

Agreed, not only the stupid people, at 4:00, the motor cop actually went around the gate to catch up to the guy that ran under the gate. That was not only stupid, but deadly.

[tigermark64]

I would have sent this film to the police and see what the superior officers would have done about seeing a motorcycle cop going around gates. This looks like the railroad and the police worked together on this sting operation.

[leologan]

The second guy that got pulled over was in the wrong for sure, the gates were started down, but that motor cop was worse, the gates were all the way down.
