Shelby St. and Hanna Ave. Railroad Crossings in Indianapolis

Actually three crossings, Shelby and Windermire Streets (day/train 1) and Hanna Avenue (day/train 2). A great mix of new and old crossing signals. Some old traffic light pedestrian signals, and a very cool rail company. Shot November 13th and 14th, I captured two trains, and combined the two videos for one great show. There's something for everyone, so please, enjoy! Still pictures can be found at: http://s49.photobucket.com/albums/f277/Wisecrac99/Grade%20Crossing%20Signals/...

Hello, another "Dave" here!

The LIRC stops in several places to get permission from the CSX. Between Thompson Rd and Hanna Avenue with the train stretched across the I465 Bridge, like you show. Between Stop 11 Rd and Stop 13 Rd, between County Line Rd and Stop 11 Rd, and between Main St. in Greenwood and Stop 18 Rd.

The CI north often sits next to the lot for the BMV or the VFW lot or the City Park just to the south of the Main St. grade crossing.

Great Video, I really enjoy your work!!

I don't understand american people in these kind of situations..

On almost every railroad crossing video I've seen from America, it's always at least 1 driver who ignores the red light.

In Sweden, it's kinda rare you see someone ignoring the gates/lights and we don't blow our horns other than in emergency situations.

Why is this? Is there a good answer..?

[wisecrac99]

We are an impatient, reckless, careless, disrespectful country when behind the wheel. When driving, we don't care about other drivers. We don't think about dangers. We don't care about rules. And when something finally does happen, we look for blame elsewhere. Because of this, we must blow our horns.

@MrJacksito1: Also, I appreciate your being respectful in your comments. I'm amazed at how some folks get so mad on YouTube.....about a railroad crossing video. All the best.

JM: My father was a railroad employee all his life. And as far as heated comments on Youtube....I've been guilty of that myself. I guess we should all try harder to treat others as we want to be treated. And all the best to you as well.
