UP ES44AC 7648 leads the eastbound Bird, ZCSLT through Rochelle. The crossing gates came down WAY too late for this train!

  • Yeah it could, however, a lot of traffic goes into the railroad park and the small power plant so it would be a inconvienence to people to have to wait for the BNSF signals to go up when they are heading into the railroad park. Still not a bad idea though.

  • Thanks! I stayed by the BNSF because there was a BNSF coming right after the UP cleared, which was led by a SD75M.

  • Yeah, it could've been bad, but at least not as bad as the new BNSF crossing in the foreground, lol. I heard UP changed the timing of their crossing when they put the new ties in.

  • Yeah, thankfully it was the only time, lol!

  • Yeah, it sure could've!

  • Yeah, but that was the only time that happened. If it happened again I was ready to call UP about it!

  • 0:01 It's Christine!!!

  • Great video.

  • Actually, I think the gates came down a bit too late.

  • Cool! THe crossing did come down late!

  • nice. and it looks like you caught a nice late 50s chevy at the beginning too.

  • Hahaha there was a longer delay in the gates going up after the train passed than there was warning with the gates going down when the train was approaching. For the speed the train was travelling, this is on the dangerous side.

  • The bnsf crossing should act like a double crossing and so the uprr

  • That train horn could of activated the bnsf signals if if the sensor heard it.
