Nice, light bent there and like the way the ped light is

[@UKLevelCrossingsChannel]

Yeah, the light does overhang a bit. I think its been hit more than once by a wide vehicle.

I waswondering if the train was going to be too long and the cars would have to wait longer

[@K-o-R]

What were those things in-between the tracks that closed up? Obstacle detectors?

[@UKLevelCrossingsChannel]

Yes, detectors used to detect pedestrians and vehicles when the barriers are lowering. If someone or something is blocking the crossing, the barriers are automatically stopped until its clear. Once all the barriers are lowered, the crossing automatically confirms its clear of obstructions and sets the signals for the approaching train.

What does the MCB-OD do?

[@UKLevelCrossingsChannel]

Its an automatic Obstacle Detection crossing. There are sensors in the middle of the crossing which detect any pedestrians or vehicles blocking the crossing, and automatically stops the barriers from lowering. Once the barriers are lowered, it automatically sets the signals for the approaching train.
