Signal with poor wiring

PLEASE RATE AND COMMENT. Hey guys. I was behind the controls of the Pacific Surfliner #8 with EMD F59PHI #455 leading and EMD F59PHI #450 on the rear taking the place of Cab Car #8162 which is in the shop for maintenence. I got a notfication from Dispatcher #31 who informed me of a malfunctioning crossing signal that also had lights that were flashin illegally. I was asked to proceed at 30mph due to the danger posed. My train arrived only 2 minutes late. Enjoy.

@nsrailfann4life91 Though some crossings may work by weight sensors, most work by electric circuitry, not by the weight. When a train comes in contact with sensors, the solid steel axle completes the circuit. Most of your small hy-rail trucks don't have a solid axle between the rail wheels, same with some MOW equipment, thus they don't make a circuit to activate the lights. Bigger and heaver equipment, and some large trucks have a solid steel axle, so they are able to activate the crossing.

That's the only problem with Ricks signals. I wish they were fool proof where that wouldn't happen.
