This crossing should probably have RECO 4 LED gate lights by now.

Nope, still has the 7" gate lights for now. And yes the gates are still upside down as well. No tellin' when BNSF will finally fix it.

And for all crossing signal setups, standard or special setups, the RR must go through the state and the FRA. A RR cannot just on its own install gates or signals at a crossing. It has to go through the FRA, because the signals are funded by the government (i.e. the taxpayers). The RR maintains the signals after they are installed and pays the maintenance costs. Your tax dollars go to pay for crossing signals, which is why the RR cannot just install them without approval.

But these must be approved by the FRA. In general, standard gated crossings can only block the lanes of approaching traffic, because a.) if a car is on the crossing as the gates are lowering, it needs an escape path and b.) emergency vehicles may need to go around the gates under extreme circumstances where it is safe to do so. Special approval has to be obtained from the state and the FRA for 4-quadrant gate and "long gate" setups.

I just wondered something...why can't they make gates longer so that they cover both sides of the street so that no one can go around?
Tigersfan829 2 years ago
For a standard gated crossing setup, I think it would be violation of FRA regulations for the gates to extend across the entire street like that, if the RR does not obtain approval first. There are some crossings on special high speed rail corridors, for instance, that do have the "long gates" that go across the entire road, in place of 4-quadrant crossing gates. Some crossings like this can be found in North Carolina on the NCDOT high speed rail corridor.
