@claire1667 No. This is a tourist line, and so trains only run on it during the summer. Rusty rails is not much of an issue, because the trains aren't going fast. If the rust is enough to disable to crossing signals all together, they can stop and flag the crossing.
@claire1667 Because the rails are used to detect the train, so the crossing goes off. It uses electric circuits through the rails to do this, and if the rails are rusty, the electric current won't be able to travel through the rails as easily. The current is weakest at the end of the circuit (furthest away from the crossing), so that's probably why it turned off for a second there. As the train gets closer to the crossing, the circuit will be stronger.
@ConrailSD70MAC Yes, good eye. That used to be quite a large yard in fact. Probably about 10 to 15 tracks wide. It was the St. Thomas yard for the London & Port Stanley Railway.
@JayJr2007 Yeah I dunno what they were doing lol. There's a tree nursery very close to that crossing. They may just be planting some trees in their yard...
@emerydiamond Sorry Dan. I thought this is what somebody told me once. I must of misunderstood them. I still don't understand how track circuits work even if the explanation the person gave me is correct. Maybe you can clear up how they work for me so I don't need to spread misinformation...
@chrisvazquez7 This is not how track circuits operate and you need to learn more about theory of AC / DC track circuits before you post stuff like this.
This is a much better version of Thomas than what I've seen
That's the best live-action recreation of Thomas I've seen to date! Especially since there aren't any of the LB&SCR E2 tank engine's left!
It's funny how you got my grandpa talking about you can't stop the trains in the background and me saying yeah near the red grand caravan

@zatchHBK85 His eyes can move. But they usually only make them move when it's stopped at the station as children are closer.
Nice one Chris.

I bet the people at the crossings are thinking What The Heck is that?!
That's 1000000X bigger than my n-scale version of Thomas!
Was there a small yard at 0:28 to 0:45 in the past?
@claire1667 It is the result of rusty rails.
1:27 ELM STREET 😦😦😦😦😦😦😦😦
@disneyrangerblue02
This ain't no steam dummy. I like this Thomas better than what I've seen in other videos, except the fact that his eyes don't move
1:21
The train had 6 cars
malfunctioning crossing at 5:14
Well i thought Thomas pulling the train but i see a diesel train pushing him
What! Nobody’s supposed to notice that!
@chrisvazquez7 that being fixed right now?

Actually there is a real Thomas steam engine. search Thomas The Tank @ Esbenshade Road
