Who called the police? Also 0:16 car decides to pass even if the crossing has clearly been activated for five seconds and train doesn't STOP on the route (thanks to the placement of the station) two minutes afterward.
Happy Romania upload day - I thought they would be Thursdays, so yay, it's early. Man, that's so cool to have people just hop off the crossing onto the road and have it be no big deal. As usual, the crossing's BEEP BEEP DANGER vibe is out of place with an otherwise charming scene - look how nobody cares. Any day they want to revert back to more pleasant bell tones is fine by me.
I know this area IRL and been here a fair few times (given that my dad brought an old house in 2019 a few km from where this was filmed and is slowly restoring it) and a couple of meters behind this crossing there are a few houses. Sadly i wish they added a more silent mode between 8 PM and 8 AM cause it prolly is annoying hearing it at night. This isnt the only case either (see the Bucharest-Câmpina line, this type of alarm is common on that stretch of line and is loud enough to be heard from about half a km). As for the passengers getting off on the road, why not? The platform itself is a wreck and theres none on the side the people actually wanna go to, so why bother? :P
@@CFRTrainSpotter it isn't that hard but maybe no one is willing to install it in this old track isolation based soviet crossings in poland we have this popular acoustic signal generator which has this quiet night mode but it is only ever used on new computer based crossings in old relay crossings they just slap it in into the mechanical bell circuit and prefer to leave it that way
@@kon1przejazdy tbh you might be right, cause for all i know the level crossings division is run by 1 crusty guy who has probably never been abroad....
they just resorted to a traditional Romanian solution: if it doesnt work, remove it. much like a lot of tram and trolleybus networks in some cities here (under the guise of "lack of money to keep them running").
no, but to make a sort of parallel, some tram lines in my city were removed because they either didnt have enough vehicles to serve the said line, or they never bothered to repair the tracks. i hope you'll understand where im going.
FUN FACT: in my city theres a railroad crossing with manual gates and an abandoned signal. I asked the workers for informations. They said that the signal has been abandoned because romanians were going to force the barrier and it was a dangerous crossing. Fortunately, they didn't remove the signal. It's still here, waiting to rot away.
its not uncommon in Romania (esp rural areas) but this is no longer practiced on modernized lines (or just refurbished platforms). plus no car will cross the road and theres no sidewalks in the countryside, sooooo...
Oh hell, this crossing needs some renewal works done to it, it looks that it had better days lol, also alarm is sstarting to go dodgy, (it was bad already, now it worser bcs yes), but i like it tho
mi-a spus că a găsit una care abia mergea pe linia Buda-Slănic... în mijlocul pustietăţii, care era aproape plină de buruieni. în condiţiile în care pe Drumul Judeţean se află bariere manuale. #priorities
i already explained in another comment. the siren would stop working once the barrier went down but as you can see the barrier is no longer there. therefore it never leaves the "preparing to fully activate" phase, if that makes sense. additionally i dont think anyone is bothered to even consider sound-dimming, even if a Polish guy told me its possible. so in theory its possible, but in practice, nobody gives a shit. then you should see the modern Romanian level crossings, which are evolving so badly it makes me prefer the older ones.
@@TudorCrossings Not malfunctioning. They are working as intended. Non-barrier crossings always have the bell running all the time, so it would've been cursed for the mechanism to lower the "arm" and the sound to just stop.
Almost Sounds the Red Alert alarm from Star Trek. “Shields up! Red Alert! All hands to battle stations!”
Sounds like a fire alarm
Yes is it
Yes it does
Probably was at one point.
Yes,
I like this video so much
Romanian railroad Workers: Damm we have no Bell for the crossing
Co Worker: My cousin has a old fire alarm we can pay with alcohol. Everything's fine
Een compleet andere wereld. Mooie opname!
Like 25 beautiful video, greetings from Asturias 🚂👍🙋♂️
Sound or voice is just like a fire truck 🚒🔥 or
fire alarm 🚨🔥🤣😂😂
2:18
Who called the police?

it's werry funny bell😂😂😂🤣🤣 ,but it's SUPER video
Do you remember the game Prototype 2? Cause that the sound came from
@@fan48483nah, the sound was made in the ISAF factory
Such an unusual catch!!
Amazing & excellent capture😊
I like this 10000000000000000000000000 percent
The guy who made that siren must be a TOS Star Trek fan.

@@CFRTrainSpotter Very cool. 👍
Hopefully they can follow the UK and figure out a way to get a night mode!
i mean... cant be that hard to dim the sound, right? considering its not a mechanical acoustic device.

România 🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴
why so many of the old soviet crossings have signals with gate drive motors but without gates themselves?
they just resorted to a traditional Romanian solution: if it doesnt work, remove it. much like a lot of tram and trolleybus networks in some cities here (under the guise of "lack of money to keep them running").
@@CFRTrainSpotter god is the repair of this old gate mechanisms that bad?
no, but to make a sort of parallel, some tram lines in my city were removed because they either didnt have enough vehicles to serve the said line, or they never bothered to repair the tracks. i hope you'll understand where im going.
Oh so thats why Romanian railroad crossings have a motor box without gates.

Why, some Romanian railway crossing, have a siren instead of a bell
🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤
This is the most cursed railway station I’ve ever seen.
There are worse
I can confirm that there are crossings more cursed than this one
@@SAjustusSA actually I was talking about the station, but plz don’t get started. XD
There are smaller stations like the one at Neptun
Звонок похож на полицейскую серену
I'm scared of i heard this bell
Sounds like an air raid siren
Lijkt wel een luchtalarm hahaha
Même pas de barrière
That siren
Bijzonder dit.. Stoppen op een overweg om mensen uit de trein te laten stappen (en ook weer in).. raar en bijzonder tafereel...
its not uncommon in Romania (esp rural areas) but this is no longer practiced on modernized lines (or just refurbished platforms). plus no car will cross the road and theres no sidewalks in the countryside, sooooo...
@@CFRTrainSpotter oh okay
Oh hell, this crossing needs some renewal works done to it, it looks that it had better days lol, also alarm is sstarting to go dodgy, (it was bad already, now it worser bcs yes), but i like it tho
i think it sounds fine, theres prolly worse kept sirens out there...
@@CFRTrainSpotter Yea, like Orsova. Any others you think?

Avea luminii?
da.
Why don't these thing remain quiet? If they have to have something, then have a bell or something good, but not this.
i already explained in another comment.

@@GravisherOfficial i was talking about the new one
I thought that car was going to bump into the train.
nah, its just an impatient driver (which comprise of 90% of Romanian drivers) wanting to just get across already lmao
Bro already behaves like Bulgaria
F on all who live next to that level crossing
Emergency sos????? Samsung
wat apart
It's So annoying!
North Africa is way better than this lol
then go ahead, show me a North African level crossing.
😭🙍♂️
Prove it. We are currently modernising M300 and M200 railways.
