  • This video may be having problems with playback due to CZcams processing and I blurr some stuff out and CZcams added a blurr at the beginning that I can't remove. Here is a railroad crossing compilation video of railroad crossings with unusual setup lights either having no front side lights on some signals. extra lights, weirdly arranged lights, and or even lights having off the bottom of bridges. Here's some I've filmed that I put together in this week's compilation video.

    Quite some weird light setups indeed! It just goes to show ya that signal maintainers will do what it takes to make people stop.

    That gate on the right at 4:00 is ENORMOUS, good lord! You can visibly see how much the gate motor struggles to lift it back up again.

  • @melodytheyeen
    @melodytheyeen Před rokem +1

    the first one looks like something put together with parts from home depot. joking aside, that crossing is fairly normal in the Nederlands, there is no foot bridge at the end of the transit station, they just build a crossing like that, sometimes they build them without the lights, just gates and bells. but the usual is a total of 2 lights by themselves and 2 gates for the whole crossing. and i am sure your wondering where is the rubber sun guard around the lights, im wondering why they missed that.
    other than that, the cantilever crossings shown have lights pointed at incoming traffic, and some of them like in the second clip have offside lights like in the center island, again, pointing at all incoming traffic. that includes traffic in both the left and right turn lanes

    • @MobileRailSpotterRxR
      @MobileRailSpotterRxR  Před 2 lety

      Well actually I just showed the ones with odd setups since that is the compilation. SACRT Light Rail system owns a lot of nice setup crossings. Glenn Dr, Bidwell St, and Mine Shaft Ln has signals with no front lights because there is no roadway coming into them directly only turn lanes so they only need the side and back side lights. Watt Ave & Sunrise Blvd also are owned by SACRT and so far I haven't seen any other railroad or light rail system own crossings with extra sets of lights attached to the bottom of bridges.

      Pointed slightly to the left for both main traffic on Bradshaw rd and the left turn lane on Folsom Blvd to be able to see the lights. The back side top ones are also pointed slightly to the left for the opposite lanes.

      There's other crossings with the same setup as Glenn Dr already before it's an unusual setup though. I never said it was special its just unusual.Just because the K Line has new ones doesn't change that it's still an unusual setup all of them made simular are. This isn't a compilation saying these are the only crossings with these setups I never said or thought that. The K Line doesn't change anything. If SACRT built another crossing with this setup or any other system and railroad it still doesn't change anything because it's a unusual setup you won't find toe easily anywhere but they exist that's the point of this video.
