Quad Gates on LA Gold Line

[SantaFebuff]

I personally think there should be a federal law stating all new crossing must be quad gates. I think it's a grand idea, really I do. Ped gates are nice additions too. I like how the gates retract quickly. That's good if someone wants to jump the gate and might knock into it.

Why are the horns different than the ones on the green line?

@DCFilmsStudio and the funny thing is that it's still there at the end of the video lol

they do it all the time here in cali

[eettee11]

the gold line should of been at grade seperation

[WrongRoadRailways]

But that is expensive. Besides, it's safe as long as the drivers don't stop on the tracks.

[metroareatransit]

is that lady small or is the gate tall

[metroareatransit]

looks like there something wrong with this gate might be some repairs

[fgossage]

The delayed gates on the crossing exit lanes are so that cars on the track or just starting across when the crossing activates... aren't stuck on the crossing. They still have an escape route before the train reaches the highway.

fuckin idiot in the red car

[artcancro]

bad and good

[59795159]

wow! i love the bell!

[TrainScott]

Quad gates would be good on all railroads.

[Baltimora1957]

I agree with you. That's the way RR crossings should've been in the first place. Then you wouldn't have people driving around the gates trying to beat & outrun the train across the tracks. I don't know why people are just so damn impatient. I live in Mountain Top PA USA & not a single one of the RR crossings has any crossing gate what so ever. Which I think is really rediculous to start with. To me that's like an invitation for people to try to outrun a train.

[TrainScott]

I do agree on crossings should be protected and people should stop being impatient they don't relize trains are really big and can kill you.

[computersmasher]

my opinion is that a railroad crossing should just need a train to blow its horn Maybe lights at busier crossings People should know enough not to drive around a crossing when a trains comming but they dont so thats why we have these warning systems and barriers

[WrongRoadRailways]

There's quite a lot of quad gate crossings in the UK.

[Myrtone]

Note that those "gates" (barriers) don't quite seal it off, they are nor skirted.

[Targetsignal2]

Someone went through the crossing as the lights came on. You should show this to the police because that is a no no.

[Baltimora1957]

A no no is right!! I think that RR crossings should have police officers sitting there to catch people who try to gun it across the tracks & not stop. Maybe it would save more lives. I mean they catch people for speeding so why not catch people who won't wait for a train to go by? I think it makes sense.

[treytrey2946]

I agree with you completely, but position is everything. If a police officer is sitting in front of the crossing and the car guns out, chances are, the police officer will get caught at the crossing. Now if there was a police officer after the crossing, then they'll be able to catch em.

[whatislife67]

he's an idiot

[jasonsli2]

Did you see that red car try to get past the gates while the bells were ringing? That person's stupid.

[MrMemories]

That person is also asking for a fat ticket, as well.

[jasonsli2]

hahaha...yeah

[siemenstraffic]

Giving the driver a fat ticket is not the answer. Suspend his license for 6 months for running the gates will prevent this.

[MrMemories]

That is a better solution. I once got a citation because for crossing the tracks as the warning lights went off. The only problem is that I was basically crossing the track when the warning lights and bells went off. If I had tried to stop, I would have done on the tracks. A cop saw me on the other side and cited me. I fought the ticket and won.

[Trainmaster1212]

Congrats on winning...I hate when others think that they know the whole story, but they don't.

[cousindrama997]

yep!

[maxitrain989]

Quad gates 4 ever! Is that a safetran bell?

[UP1340]

No, that is a WCH type two electronic bell.

[wigwags4ever]

Actually it's a type 3 wch.

[rolls283]

nice electronic bells.

[LiberalNoob]

I prefer the real thing.

[doglover1000]

What person is suppose to hear a stupid buzz from their car. They should put real horns on them, just like the blue line.

[Nba12982]

Every state needs these!!
