- A Very rare sight to see. Baldoyle Road level crossing breaks down. The crossing causes lots of trouble with traffic gams and stuff like that. The problem with the crossing was they had no control of the crossing so basicaly there was a fault with the crossing. Eventually Irish Rail were called up to the crossing to try and repair it. Eventually the crossing was fixed and now the crossing is back to normal. But this is not a common sight its ver rare in fact its so rare that I never ever seen it act up like this.

Best video I've seen in weeks. The problem seemed to be far more complicated than I originally thought.
That's crazy !
Ya Very Crazy
Indeed!
Bit of a seizure eh?
I haven't the faintest Idea. I'm usually a lift and bus lover, I just like level crossings because they're interesting and mechanical. They're just fun to watch.
Thanks im glad you enjoyed it. But it was quite funny to see the crossing act up like that.
Yes they were, Originally there used to be older lights with a white line around the lights.
Rather than wait for Irish rail - why not call the police, traffic management is part of their job and they should have been here to direct traffic, same as they do when traffic lights break.
As far as I know that's a system-thing in Holland. The motors in our barrier-systems can only be reversed when another train activates the crossing again (in the past, barriers had to open fully until they could be lowered again)
I don't know about signals over there, but it could be that crossings also control signals over there (as long as crossing isn't fully closed and locked, the signal won't clear)
That's something we almost don't have in Holland.
@ author: Love the accent in the video ;)
Good video. I've actually saw this happen on 2 or 3 occasions on the line between Athlone & Roscommon @ Hudson Bay & Ballymurray crossings. I'd to ring the Gardai to deal with the Hudson Bay 1 as I lived beside it and the alarm was doing me head in and also coz cars were refusing to cross the line so the Garda was on 'point duty' @ the crossing until Irish Rail could figure out what was wrong. At Ballymurray I was caught in the traffic and everyone was just crawling through the crossing.
In Orange County, Calif., where I live, when the gates are stuck down, the police will show up and help direct traffic to help drivers turn around and go back the way they came.
Once the problem has been reported to the railway company, the dispatcher issues orders by 2-way radio to all approaching trains and advises all trains to observe the rules pertaining to out-of-order level crossings. This is known as Rule 6.32.2 in the U.S. General Code of Operating rules. The train must approach the crossing at restricted speed, and upon arrival at the crossing a member of the crew must get off the train and flag it across the crossing by hand. The engineer also sounds the horn with the "approaching crossing code" of two long blasts, a short blast, and a long blast, even if it is a Quiet Zone crossing.
This kind of malfunction can be caused by faulty sensors in the track or a fault in the sensors that detect the gates are fully raised up. The gates will drop then raise up again to try to make contact with the detector sensors and shut off the alarms and lights.
how many miles of traffic had the crossing made? how long had the crossing been working it's ticket?
Why is the level crossing broken
It better be fix it
It better be fix it
THE LIGHTS STAY FLASHING RED AT ALL TIMES TILL GATES RAISE !>:(
Thats Crazy Broken Barrier At Baldoyle Road Level Crossing
good on you. better info than you get from Irish rail at times. and it looks like such a cold wet day.
I have to say that's nuts to see the crossing go rip and cause chaos
Actually Bayside and Sutton are about a mile away from eachother so this crossing is on the halfway point between them.
Thanks, Aw it was so cold that day my hands froze, Anyways im glad you enjoyed it.
There is a level crossing that I often go to and it had a lot of incidents and it was claimed one of the most abused in the UK.
Thanks Man im glad you enjoyed it, what do you think was the problem was with the crossing?
Your welcome. Crossings in the U.S are controlled by the relay case and wires attached to the track. When a train locomotive runs over the wire it sends a electric current to the relay case. When the relay case picks up th current, it judges the speed of the train and the distance the train is from the crossing. After this, the current goes to the crossing signals and activates them. When a train clears the crossing, the process is repeated and shuts off the signals. The relay case is a compter.

Thanks im glad you enjoyed, And thanks for the info aswell ;)
Thanks, were you originally from Ireland?
What lines do tree trunks use branch lines
Hahahahahahaha
Great Video! That happens alot here in America. I don't know about your country but the crossings in the U.S are controlled by a realy case, and when something happens inside the case, the crossing signals malfunction.
So I was in Ireland I was at a railroad crossing and one of the gates were down while the other 3 Gates were up and the lights were flashing but IRISH Rail came and fixed it
I cant believe that the barriers are going bloody bonkers. The railway crossing where i live had a malfunction because one of the barriers was down and the other barrier was up and the signals were red in both directions
Why the railway track in Ireland does not have of third-rail electrification system in Ireland, if the UK, they are railway track systems was electrified from 3rd rail at 750V DC.
Even i have not seen a crossing acting up before
Thanks. I thought the crossings in the U.S were controled by something in the station. But here in Ireland I think most of the crossings are controled by the main stations on the main lines. For the Northern Line, Howth Branch and Rosslare main line I presume Connolly Station controls all the the crossings on those lines I just said. And Id say for the rest of the lines in Ireland the crossings are possibly controled by Heuston Station and Cork (Kent) station.
what’s your name
Level crossings are triggered by electric current. So if a conductive object is left laying on the tracks, the nearest 2 or 3 crossings will be affected.
kdmq in the U.K. And Ireland the crossings are controlled by a signaller and he watches the crossing through a set of CCTV cameras
This vid reminds me of that one time in a car journey, and the barriers took 3 hours to fix, waste of time... Nice job.
this crossing is crazy
It might have been a good idea to pick up the emergency phone at the crossing and tell them about the fault instead of filming this for 34 minutes
"well let's see what happens..."
*barriers spaz out*
"OH MY, IT'S NOT RIGHT. IT'S GONE BONKERS. SOMETHING, YUP, IT'S GONE VERY WRONG."
Excellent video!
Thank You !
I assume the trains triggered the alarms, but the button or the trigger was held on, maybe?
Every time those gates came up, someone should have gone out into the middle of the road to motion cars across until a train came, get the traffic flowing.
Strange occurrence, train gate failure, never seen that before.
The reporting was interesting to listen to, started to get more dramatic as time went on. Towards the end it sounded like there could have been aliens invading or the end of the world was nearly upon us. lol
I know is soo rare to see a crossing act up. Usually this crossing does be fine.
We will never know for sure what happened.
I remember watching this years ago XD
Hi, I enjoyed this very much. The commentary was amusing. Are you from North Dublin? I'm an American actor about to do a play and I've got to attempt a North Dublin accent.
Very strange!
Was there a storm there and it messed up the electric systems, or did it just fail?
I looove the Irish accent
It’s a Dublin accent
Did you get it on video? I will go and have a look at it.
I've been to Sutton level crossing and Claremont Road and baldoyle Road
No Sutton was alright. As far as I know two crossings on the branch line were acting up. This one and the one on Lauder;s Lane / Burrow Road.
Did you get a video of it?
the train is proceeding with portion btw
*caution
Hey Steven will you put th video up you were talk about your really good at making video about train you should do one inside the train
On easter 2018, the same thing happened with sutton crossing
Really?
What day was this?
how old is this crossing. if its old it would be so simple.
Alright, It seems that all the crossings on the network seem to be breaking down, Its quite odd, It usually happens on the older crossings.
Indeed!
Langley Green, Oldbury in West Midlands in UK.
this is so cool
Have u got the class 8100 or 8300 limeted edition model dart?
No I haven't actually, its just too expensive !
I wonder if the crossing just kept timing out.
I have seen it happened in coleraine once
No there was no storm, it just failed.
I love your guys accent, sounds like mine, but mine is mixed with german. Irish and German heritage.
Indeed.
that level crossing is broken a lot that's not normal
Thanks ;)
Ah I see, But for some odd reason the barriers go up and down and the alarm and lights keep oging of.
Great video
Cheers!
The crossing failed 😢
No, I was born in the US, but I'm the only person in my family to have an accent
Maybe.
Yea it is. But its fixed now.
Oh ok and which one is that?
wewho wewho!
Well that's what most people did in their cars as they went over the crossing.
Maybe that might have happened.
Yea I know they don't allow them to fast.
50 MPH: Highway speed in U.S.
Is it rare for any level crossing to go bonkers
The only level crossings to brake are Sutton Bray Sandymount and Landsdown Road.
Well apparently this one can break too!
Sometimes the good old whack helps out.
I know its quite rare to see actually.
Oh, well at least you were telling them, it, sorry commenting before watching the entire video :)
Ah its ok, it over a half an hour long so at some sage you would get sick listening to me talking.
what is it like when Gates are not working
This
some times it looked a little like it was inverted.
THIS IS CRAZY!!!!!!!!
Yea I seen that.
Oh rite I better look it up.
This might have been a malfunction... (Also, my actual CZcams name is boynoob7.)
I know there is so many misuse because the level crossing is broken
Nothing like that has never happened to the railroad Crossings of America!
No really, because it has causing traffic jams and disruption with train services.
Is that in Scotland
Howth Ireland
Ok
No, but they won't say.
BONKERS!!! Just plain BONKERS! (Indeed!)!
Yeah it was quite funny actually.
0:00 how is named that action with the barrier?
The old barriers do that to warn drivers cyclists and pedestrians to warn people that the barriers are bout to descend
Saturday the 16th of Febuary 2013.
that is not normal is it fixed
OH NO ITS ALL GONE HORRIBLY WRONG
If people want to know why level crossings are getting removed
Here is a reason:
Yes this is a joke but I don’t how people speak like this...
Edit: the traffic is like in Monday evertime I wake up
No not really, but I would suggest you have a good camera and you get a good video of the train in a good location and don't shake the camera much, that's how I think you get more views.
how is the crossing malfunctioning
Something was wrong with the motors which control the barriers.
Irish Rail Trains when is the level crossing will be fixed
?
