    Love this video. These 4 quadrant grade crossings definitely reduce the amount of motorists who try to beat a train.

    The BNSF Chillicothe Sub runs roughly parallel with the UP Joliet Sub from about US-52 in Joliet Illinois to about Coal City Illinois. The BNSF Logistics Park sits between the two subs as well as the UP Intermodal Terminal south of Joliet.

    i wonder why since i was a little boy i always find rail way crossings so fascinating..we didn't have a car but sometimes my aunt would take her car and sit by a crossing for up to an hour and wait for a train to pass so i could see it..all these years later i still enjoy crossings and r.i.p to my long departed aunt for being such a kind lady

    At 3:10, it says the railroad crossing is a private crossing. That means the crossing is on private property, but you noticed that the private railroad crossing is equipped with gates and lights. That's great! No matter if it's a public or private railroad crossing, every driver needs to have a warning or an indication that a train is approaching.

    • @averagejo2462

      joethenark my town in Louisiana only has one signal on both sides. 4/7 of those are gateless cantilevers backed up by regular signals with gate motors behind them. the rest are standard signals with gate motors. overall they all have the best gs bell: the type 1 tuned to sound like a type 2. pretty cool. only trains we get through here are KCS, KCSM, UP, and NS. VERY FEW IC trains pass through here.

    This line probably has cab signal requirements now, since Amtrak is going above 80 MPH (which is the limit at which cab signals are required on a train). It's the reason why Amtrak only goes at 79 MPH through Bessemer, AL.

      But they come down all together, that is risky if some vehicle enters it and it starts closing, the gates in the incoming traffic should close first, and after a few seconds the other 2 (exits) so vehicles can go escape if they are already in

    @robertcomer2915 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    All 4 gates descend at the same time, which is out of order. A vehicle on the crossing would have no way to escape, that is why the 4 quadrant gates are sequenced to allow escape. The fact that there is a Stop sign just 50 feet from the crossing means that vehicles could get backed-up on the crossing with no where to go when the lights start flashing. These crossings with a Stop sign on a busy highway are, in reality, Death Traps. When vehicles are bumper to bumper, as often happens at rush hours, it would be easy to get trapped on this crossing.

    Very cool. Have you ever gone to the I.C.G. line? In Monee it present have crossing gates and lights. Because it passes thru Monee in the Cut. The trains are below grade and pass under the bridges. You go and stand over the tracks and face the train as it goes under you. Gives a great shot of AWESOME you feel as if the train will hit you. It is a spectacular experience. I used to live there right along the Cut. The trains would blow their horns when a person is over the tracks.

    Is it me or do many of the gates seem to be not that well adjusted? Some of them drop or open like mad!

    • @freebrickproductions
      @freebrickproductions 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The gates here are hollow in the middle, so they tend to bounce around a lot as a result. The ones that aren't well adjusted are likely just the results of slightly poor maintenance, though I've heard that WCH gate mechs can be hard to maintain.

  • @rcsrailfaningproductions1225

    At the flower shop I work at in Houston, Orchid Express and Leasing, we have a 2 track right next to us that goes off all day long. Sometimes, the trains come to a complete stop. Anyways I've been on my electric bike and stopped at some of the train tracks and didn't realize there were so many different signal signs. Pretty neat if you ask me! That's why I ended up here was to listen to some of the different sounds out there. Ours sounds identical to 9:30.

    At 2:13, the railroad crossing only has warning lights and no crossing gates. Why are there no gates? The driver of the vehicle can easily ignore the warning lights and proceed through them. Crossing gates will help prevent motorists from ignoring the warning lights.

      Its an older setup. They just double tracked that crossing and it now has a full quad gate setup.
