dasalotta hoppers, lol. Must not have been full if only 2 Diesel-electrics were pulling that many. Love your work owensri2, bringing back memories of the old Grand Trunk Western (now CN) line that ran through Ferndale and that area. God I miss it.
How far are the trains from the steet level crossing before the warning lights and gates are activated.

Probably about a quater of a mile, but depends on how fast the train is going. There's a box in the relay case that tells how fast the train is going, and it decides when the time is right to activate the crossing. There's always about at 25 to 35 second warning. FRA (Federal Railroad Administration) requirements are for there to be a minimum 20 second warning.

Notice on the Gated Signal that the lights are out of sync.

Yep, I hate when they get like that. If you look at my video entitled "Goddard Rd. Crossing, West Side, Wyandotte, Mi 3/9/08, you'll see that crossing does it as well, and it's alot worse than this one.
