why does this railroad crossing dont have a bar that comes down

[stagmie]

@mommabeardee Most grade crossing DON'T have a "bar that comes down".

[DRfermasMs]

how often do they come throuh there?

[stagmie]

Lately, one empty Eastbound every other day and the return loaded the other days.

Great, steady video! Thanks.

That last crossing signal activated much too early - a minute before train arrival.

The left turn into the non-signalled crossing poses a problem. An idiot driver with stereo blasting might turn in front of a train approaching from behind. (Or do they not allow a left turn there?)

[stagmie]

Left turns are allowed. In fact, you might not can tell, but further up at the traffic light, there is a left turn lane also. This road parallells the tracks very closely for about 3 miles, so, if someone turns in front of the train, it's their own problem.
