I don't know why but I really laughed hard at this video. I don't know what was funnier: the gates going down every minute or the facial expressions of the host! Awesome job!
I love it. A few months ago, I was in downtown Pensacola, Florida ... right after a train passed, the gates went up, traffic starting going, then, they went back down. Ended up hitting a van. But your video is way better. Love the videos brother!
Lavondrick Rogers Random fact of the day, the railroad company GhostRail headquartered out of Fort Lauderdale, Florida has the Guinness Book of World Records award for fastest train in the world 😂😂😂
Italian Railways are different from US ones, but I believe that all railways have something in common. Some years ago, we had on a main line an oxidised track circuit which was sending false informations about its status (it was thinking it had a train on for one minute and then free himself, without an actual train on him, but was still working efficiently when a train was on him, so that the rail traffic was still safe). This track circuit was the trigger point for a Level Crossing, so that everytime the track circuit became occupied, the level crossing was closing, and when the track circuit was free, it was opening. That caused exactly the same behaviour seen in the video until the maintenance crew fixed the broken track circuit. Luckily enough, the street the level crossing was onto didn't have so much traffic, so the discomfort was really small.
Are you stupid? The gates are malfunctioning, the train would be able to hit the sensor and have the crossing go down with no problem. This right here is most likely caused by something near or on the sensor causing the crossing to mess uo
@@trainknightt That's not a reason to question someone's intelligence. Just because someone might not know the intricacies of how a USA train crossing signal works doesn't mean he is stupid. It is a valid concern that a train might approach and the signals fail. You could have taken the opportunity to educate without assuming that anyone who doesn't know as much as you do is stupid. Everyone has to start from somewhere, and that somewhere is not knowing anything at all about a subject.
That big cantilever is similar to Mattawoman Beantown Road in Waldorf, Maryland on the CSX Popes Creek Subdivision. The line I grew up with since 1998. Here's a link to what one of the cantilevers look like: www.google.com/maps/@38.6554512,-76.8745716,3a,75y,156.58h,98.32t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sKaMr9E8u01EiNhnX9U14AA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?hl=en
There was one in Huntsville, Alabama where freebrickproductions reside. I watched his train and railroad crossing videos on TH-cam, and this railroad crossing look EXACTLY like that.
+Millenniumforce *To what cause(s) were the false triggerings eventually traced?* This kind of malfunction burns out gate motors. Time 11:28 The largest vehicle I'd want to drive around _this_ grade crossing would be a Harley-Davidson® FLTR 107 - between tracks 1 and 2, clearance enough for wide freights in opposite directions. (Between Tracks 2 and 3 is suicide; wide loads pass each other by inches, leaving nowhere to go but down and sometimes not even _that_ escape. :-S ) With my issue Ford, I'd be stopping short, wigwags or no wigwags - too much distance across the tracks to gauge traffic on the far side.
Wide World of Trains, this is probably the worst malfunction in Florida because this is probably a humongous suicide Crossing that can track cars and then the gates go up in the car so it's that bad and there's probably a lot of traffic congestion over in that area
I've seen this happen on a very busy highway, but what was worse is it was those quad gates (aka suicide gates), every 30 seconds or so, the crossing would activate and when the gates were halfway down, they'd go back up. What's hilarious is it has happened twice with me being present, so I'll likely be able to record it when it does it again.
There are some tracks on my way home from work that traffic backs up onto a lot. I always stop before them even though it gives time for other cars to cut in front of me because I know what happens to idiots like the cars in the videos. One time I was stopped before the tracks and a train came and it was awesome because I got a very clear reward for not being an idiot.
I’m watching this right now and this is the funniest thing ever with the commentary. I love it so much “there’s a cop right there you think he’d do something about it” took me out. 😭😭😭
This is something you won't see in the Netherlands, even though we do have lots of malfunctions. Although most malfunctions in The Netherlands are on busy railroad crossings, But that doesn't say that they aren't annoying. Sadly I have never seen a malfunction. I would love to actually see them myself.
Homeless Johnson that was my question. instead of making a video, why not call the hotline? he could be partially be held responsible in a civil suit if an accident occurred and he didn't bother to call the hotline.
you know its kind of crazy how often I see this .....and im very surprised the cops didnt do something about this. i also have never seen 3 gates at once like that , thats kinda cool ( when its not going loco )
mean time over here in Arkansas and Missouri we had brand new rail crossings with gates and on the crosswalks. uh they were not working properly the 1st day after they set them up one side gate went down while the other stayed up lol
In theory, a car isn't supposed to enter the crossing zone if the way ahead is blocked by traffic, but most people don't think about that on a wide crossing like this one. I notice that the gates start coming down just 4 or 5 seconds after the lights and bell. That's awfully quick and doesn't give you much time to plan.
Every car that stopped on the tracks-ticket. That bus that stopped on the tracks, the driver (Should have CDL) should be taken to court pay a huge fine and or have his CDL taken away for 30-90 days.
Good thing that the gates did not drop and stop that Rescue Rig. As many times as that stupid thing turned on and dropped the gates. One of these times there will be a serious accident or death due to those malfunctioning gates and a real train is coming through. Most people that have been caught by this signal setup in the future may ignore them when the real thing is coming through. Lastly as many times as that signal takes off, someone somewhere has to call the train company and raise Cain about it all, or better yet direct them to your video here. The signals are an accident waiting to happen and the RR Co. involved will extract a heavy toll of lawsuits due to someone dying needlessly. Thank you for sharing your video!!!!
I hope that someone had the intelligence to call the number posted on the control building along with the crossing number to have a signal maintainer dispatched. In case you are unaware, most of these crossings are interlocked with the traffic signals which really creates a problem.
No, but one expects the police to report safety equipment problems on public roads to the relevant body, and even to stay at the location to direct traffic if a train approaches and the signal is faulty, or to inform traffic that it can proceed safely.
It is a nuisance when signals activate when there isn''t any train coming. That encourages motorist to drive around gates, which leads to collisions. People are stupid enough to stop on the track at a red light or in backed up traffic. I have more common since than that. But those who are stupid enough will blair their horns at me to pressure me to move up onto the tracks in stopped traffic.
I think the crossing wants the Brightline trains to go faster! I've only seen video of them go about 20mph! 12:10 good thing the fire truck made it through!
I don't know why but I really laughed hard at this video. I don't know what was funnier: the gates going down every minute or the facial expressions of the host! Awesome job!
"They're working out! Looks like I need to, too!" Lmao
Too many ghost trains in that city. Those crossing gates are trolls. lol

Bruh Pensacola is where Jeffy lives he thinks he lives on Jeffy Jeffy St.
Could a second train have been coming?
Americas high speed bullet train.
so quick you cant see it
Same Edward
was it the deloring coming through and we didn't see it lol
with a speed faster than light xD
Or as Railrol82 says it’s the ghost train
An American High Speed Rail system - semi trucks wiped out even faster.

Don't you mean since 1966(6)?
I'd say there's something malfunctioning in the relay case. Probably the sensor wiring.

They need to fix this a.s.a.p because what if there was a train coming and the crossings were up and did not go down .The cars are in hot water

I actually like the commentary on this.
Millennium Force is my childhood. Part of where my sense of humor comes from!
What, even a firetruck tries to beat the malfunctioning gates, how low even the authorities can go? 😮
Idk why but this was strangely satisfying to watch...
this guy is hilarious xD
this is the kind of humor i would throw in.
Man that is a nightmare hope they fix it by now
Millenniumforce are you going to video the bright line trains at some point ?
The Atlanta Braves must have been playing that day. The gates are doing the tomahawk chop and the gates must be fans of the Braves.
The one in Jacksonville is also doing the same thing the gates are going down and then going back up without a train
19 minutes of lmao and watching the best video on TH-cam!!!
exact same thing happening at my place across the street from my house lol
worst thing is that it may stay down for a few hours at my place
That would be perfect for America's Funniest Home Videos!
a maintainers dream...not

@Windows 10 how's it looking now?
Wide World of Trains nnj
Wide World of Trains hh
Choo Choo Ben Productions [Older Version] there are no exit gates. The gates that look like exit gates are pedestrian gates.
Could be a malfunctioning shunt at the end of the approach circuit causing the impedance of the rails to change even when there's no train.

It is called ghost rail since 1954

why
Dutch Railroad Crossings it's ringing
LOVE your facial expressions! Very comical! Great video!
What IS going on is this gate has duel purpose:
making way so a train can pass
and
road charming ( just like a speed hump or stop sign)
Why dont you call the number on the crossing
Homeless Johnson that was my question. instead of making a video, why not call the hotline? he could be partially be held responsible in a civil suit if an accident occurred and he didn't bother to call the hotline.
Homeless Johnson he most likely calls them in then records them
In all his videos he call first then makes the video
@@VonswainGaming shut up
This is why when you see train warning flashers, you stop and don't fly through the crossing. If there actually was a train coming someone could die.
you know its kind of crazy how often I see this .....and im very surprised the cops didnt do something about this. i also have never seen 3 gates at once like that , thats kinda cool ( when its not going loco )
LOL
Nice clip!
Ghost trains?

How many units were on the ghost train I couldn't even see it did any of you guys see it
This railroad is called The Invisible and Western. A bunch of invisible trains went by.
Best commentary ever
Hahahahahahaha! How do you stop the ringing in the head? Lol
Probably they're cleaning the track
The funny thing is, the bell doesn't ring when the gates are down. They do ring when the gates are rising though. Too funny.
5:03 - all those cars sitting on the tracks, wonder if that scared the crap out of them.
i love your enthusiasm is funny i laugh at every word you said man
Why did it malfunction
I can't believe how much people watch something in just 3 hours
This channel is so funny I subscribed
Did you call the Railroad Maintenance to come check the Layout Controls? It is creating Traffic Congestions Very Badly.
4:27 Millenniumforce: *this is so much fun.............they're working out*

Crazy malfunctions like this is going to have big issues with other residents
By the way, I really enjoyed that film. Thank you, good job 😁
There is a large crack sound before the signal goes down the first time
It was the bus
awesome video.
That's the GIANT crossing that RailRol82 filmed
This malfunction seems way to common in like a million places, why haven't they fixed this type of issue?
it's a Malfunction at a junction!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Good timing. 😂🤣
That was a serious malfunction that could cause a really bad accident there a sign says do not stop on tracks.
Good thing that the gates did not drop and stop that Rescue Rig. As many times as that stupid thing turned on and dropped the gates.

is this a suicide Crossing
Nah its a suicide crossing XD
Will the malfunction ever end!!??
Mabye the trains are going by really fast?
likely shjort curcuit thats causing tht or it asumes a trains corssing when there isnt
I think there's a problem wrong with sensor that's causing this major malfunction
I hope that someone had the intelligence to call the number posted on the control building along with the crossing number to have a signal maintainer dispatched. In case you are unaware, most of these crossings are interlocked with the traffic signals which really creates a problem.
Those gates were teasing the drivers! 😂 Up, down, up, down, up, down. . . 😂
Is the bell supposed to sound when the gates go up at this rather silly x-ing?
9:15 I caught something like that at 28th Ave in Hillsboro, Oregon.
What if there was no break and they just kept going up and down nonstop
Did the you call the number near the gate so the can get some one out to fix it because it would cause a nasty accident
He has to
Man, you'd think that after the first few times, SOMEONE would have notified the proper people about this!
yep that's broward county at its finest!!
@3:36 well, it’s not the cops job to fix this problem. It’s the rail companies that provide the crossing equipment to fix the malfunctioning equipment
No, but one expects the police to report safety equipment problems on public roads to the relevant body, and even to stay at the location to direct traffic if a train approaches and the signal is faulty, or to inform traffic that it can proceed safely.
this happens on a busy railway, the one that goes on first, elm hurst, pensylvania ave, glen e., and front, Wheaton
what song do you use i really like it!
Lol its a new way the railway is controlling the traffic....

People in mini copper cars aren’t idiots because there semi luxury cars.
The Railroad Crossing Over Here In Rio De Janeiro Are Malfunctioning Every Minute They Keep Going Off Causing Traffic Delays
hahah people got stuck but luckily the trains did not come

"The gate who cried train"
either a bad b-point or occupied track circuit.....um could be a bad relay also
where's a freaking train when u need one
hey Millenniumforce did you get stuck when you tried to cross the crossing
Lots of warnings on the crossing, but do trains actually exist on these tracks?
There’s a train station.
Better than bedroom bershka ?
( Up & Down up & down ) !
Did anyone think to call the railroad and let them know about the malfunctioning crossing.
I'm curious if you reported the fault whilst you were recording and commentating...
Millennium force I love your videos
Train: "Wanna see me go to Jacksonville and back? Wanna see me do it again?"
My iPad is goin to heaven
Plot twist, the train is just moving forward and backward.
It shuts at exetly 41 seconds each time
it happens a lot where i live and worst comes to worst it stays down for hour or more
Do you travel thw country for trains?
Yes and I am about to travel to 25 states in less then 2 weeks by car in search of them and Theme Park roller coasters
