WICKED CTA TRAIN CROSSING

Not that wicked, but if you like the chicago Transit Authority elevated trains making a crossing at the grade level on the northside of Chicagoland, you may like this video. This train was a subway but goes elevated after this grade crossing gate.

@Megahammerheadshark Is that why there are openings on both ends of the tubes?

[theshugchannel]

@Megahammerheadshark yes they do on a ton of railways

[Staszu13]

@Amtrak1194 Yes the secret is to make the train long enough so that one pad stays in contact with the third rail or all times - that or they coast across

What about the third rail!?

[Andrewsaxamophone]

The old CTA signals were really something, combined every rare signal manufacturer into one mast and you have every crossing on the yellow and blue line.

@Amtrak1194 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOO the 3rd rail is in the middle of the crossing... cars have to drive over it

[Amtrak1194]

@Flamingchickenvideos the third rail begins and ends before and after the crossing
