Broken Railroad Crossing Gate Hits Train

- Roughly a half hour before this video was filmed, a BNSF Railway train crew reported a damaged railroad crossing at Calumet Street in Centralia, Illinois to the railroad dispatcher. After hearing this over the scanner, I setup at Calumet to watch the next train pass the crossing. Seen in the video is Norfolk Southern train 224 as they slowly approach Calumet. The conductor attempts to fix the railroad crossing, and then flags the crossing in order for 224 to pass through. As the conductor prepares to climb back on 224's lead locomotive, the gate lowers again making contact with the locomotives, intermodal cars, and autoracks. I did come back out to Calumet a few hours later and the railroad crossing was fixed, and the gate was replaced. The problem appears to be started by a semi truck hitting and damaging the crossing. Enjoy!

Awesome Video! The gate is giving its inspection of each car and giving it is mark before the train can depart fully
LOL 😂
That man's the definition of "not my job, not my problem."
Literally - he CAN'T fix it (doesn't have the tools, etc.)...
Yes, crews often carry spare GATES around with them! 🙄
But more importantly, THEY CAN'T WAIT.
So the fact that he even took the initiative to get out and try to get it up says more about him than lots of (UNION) people I know who would have bellyached about having to stop and flag
Not his job! Train crews don't fix signals. That's where the signal department comes in! NS isn't a one man railroad! Yikes!!!!
Exactly @@bubbabiscuitcub
now it's not his job and he's probably not a technician and doesn't have the tools and it's a priority, the locomotive is expensive to operate and the goods have to go, so they can't wait for a technician
I'm surprised that the gate didn't break apart while the train was moving
I thought the same thing especially as many times as it scraped along the cars
3:06 the way the crossing was shaking made me laughing for no reason 😂
I know right😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 5:20
2:47 Damn. It didn’t just move the gate; it moved the whole damn thing! Pole, lights, everything turned.
Neat catch but very rare!

4:00 music train
3:08 gta gun
Forbidden backscratcher!
Sir! No going around crossing gates. I'll have to give you a citation.
It just kept scraping and scraping and scraping! I was waiting for it to break off or the whole assembly to fall over!
The conductor made an attempt. He couldn't exactly hold the gate the whole time the train passed, and it was going to need to be repaired anyway. Maybe I would have tried once more quickly, but even then it might have lowered again after it was out of view.
No. I wanted to see what the guy was doing at the end.
Great job NS , leaving more damage than before!
What do you propose they should’ve done?
3:08 ouch
Only in Centralia!
That Signal needs fix
4:00 my type of music
same
the goods must go forward, it is expensive for a locomotive to stand still
What in the world happened to the gate?
Appears to have been hit by a semi-truck. Although that's not confirmed.
0:58 bro is trying to push it up😂
The gate is like hey hi you doing hey how ya doing nice to meet ya 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭
Now I can finally say, I’ve seen everything
Bro the Signal has chanced😂
Why this railroad crossing gate put up on the train
NS 8184 & 1164 gonna need a good clean buffing of those scratches, nevermind the containers with Chinese products 🤕😂🤣😁
Exactly and hope there is no automobiles in the auto racks
@@private23930 unless it's them Teslas and hybrids cause I don't want them either
Tell me why that gate didn't snap off its base. ;/
Bruh, it was literally facing the wrong way
Great video Train Man what is the BHP on one of those locos?.I am still turning out steam loco videos in UK. Cheers man. Brian
6-7k horsepower
@@Newberntrains WOW
Looks like a Truck hit the crossing before.
The cars and trucks got revenge
Looks like it was installed at a 15 degree angle.
Hours before this the railroad crossing was normal, so it appears it was hit by a semi-truck.
@@TrainManBrodieProbably trying to beat another train.
This is the funniest shit ive ever seen!
4:13😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕😱😱😱😳😳😳😳😳😳😳
glad the gate got a massage
Great Video! That’s quite interesting.
Yikes!!!
Wow, crazy
NS does not train their employees well
Well if I had any say there’d be some consequences for that crew. They turned the whole signal running the train along that gate.
Well they couldn't just stand and wait for someone to fix it. They have a schedule to maintain not to mention they are on a busy mainline with other trains running as well.

You have one job but still failed.
Hey at least he tried. The one to blame for the delay was whoever got the gate arm misaligned.
