Housatonic NX11 drills Hawleyville

We are in Hawleyville, Connecticut, where we see Housatonic Train NX11, the local out of Canaan, as it drills the lumber yard. In the first video, we see GP35 3604 as it pulls out 3 empties. Regarding what the conductor said about me being on private property, I had permission from the owner of the lumber yard to be there. I always try to get permission from a specific place when I am there, and I always stay safe. Anyway, once 3604 picked the empties, 9 loads were spotted. This was as far as the NX11 came this day. Once they were done, they headed back to Canaan. NX11 consists of GP35's 3601 and 3604 sandwiching 19 cars. One other thing to point out is that both 3601 and 3604 have been repowered with turbocharged 645 engines. Enjoy the sound of the rev of the prime mover, as well as the interesting sounding horn on the 3604. Also, note the idiot who runs the grade crossing at the 4:55 mark. I really wish the train had been moving a bit faster so he could have been hit. If you have any questions about the video, feel free to message me. Comments are welcome. The videos were taken on January 18th, 2012.

Crossing protection not working???

@rickvt

Bells and flashers were working as intended. People just don't care, since there aren't any gates there to stop them.

anyone know what the horn's model/name is?
