Spotting trains in Lat Krabang near Suvarnabhumi airport, Bangkok, Thailand

Spotting trains Near Huatake station as they pass over the manually controlled level crossing by the signal man who waves a green flag to tell the driver it is ok to proceed over the Thannon [Road] Chalong Krung crossing. The reason why the signal man had to use carts to keep the traffic from going over the crossing because the gates were broken that day. In the last clip you can also see there is a Disc which is the switch points for the tracks. These points are controlled manually by the signal man operates the lever frames. This station is in the area of Bangkok called Lat Krabang which is on the Eastern line. Notice as the trains pass through Pra Chom Klao Station [background] there are no need to exchange tokens [Train order hoops] because this station uses centralized traffic control. Trains heading out east stop at Hua Takhe, Ban Plu Ta Luang and etc before Aranprathet. For inbound trains the final stop is Hua Lamphong station. This line goese all the way to Aryanprathet and also to Pattaya.
