Over Heating Box The Fan Burnt Out

The Flash was running back and forth on the tracks and tripped the circuit each time.

BINGO

You should have run across the road when the gates came down one time. The drivers would be like 'WTF?!'

I did a train dance today with the song The Train Is Coming Baby The Train Is Coming Now from the movie Money Train. Video coming soon.

Jeez. All of those drivers crossing the tracks even when the red lights are flashing. Cant be bothered to wait 2 or 3 minutes! They would rather risk their life to save a few minutes of driving...

I appreciate your love of trains. I love them. However, with that said, let me say this. You made your point with 2 minutes of gate malfunction. After that, what is gained? As for the freaked out drivers, where are they? The only one seemed freaked out and I do not think that is the correct term. You seem irritated more than freaked out.

Great Video Alan! 3 Things to say: 1. It's funny to see drivers reactions to this malfunction. 2. I'm surprised that these long gates have not hit the road yet. 3. Since the traffic light after the crossing is tied in with this crossing, It too must have been screwing uo traffic.

It happens at least 128 times every two months where I live.

No You need to make contact with both rails with a metal pipe wire or jumper cables

If you put your mouse over the time bar and go across, it looks like the gates are trying to chop cars! Hiya! LOL

This is the best video I have even seen

You can't call the police you can only call CSX or the railroad company Also I did call them and it took a couple of hours before they got there and fixed them. Sometimes the equipment get to hot in the control box and fries the computer board then they malfunction.

If ya listen closely Another crossing is also malfunctioning right before this one does

Wow the ghost trains really loved the crossing that day

CSX should dump RR crossings and just hire crossing guards. I must admit though I am a crossing signal fan myself! But some of these crossings are about as safe as not having any there at all

Wow, that's f****** crazy! Did they fix that?!

LMFAO LOL LOL LOL ROFL

LOL ! Awesome video Alan!

What is the title of the video called in one of your intro clips when the train blows the horn and the car skids to a stop?

I would wish to see the MillenniumForce/Ghost Train go by a railroad crossing LOL

Did you check to see if anything was shunting the rails? I would have looked to see if I could stop the problem. Did you call the 1-800 number at the crossing?

the trains too fast i must of missed it lol

Thank you

this reminds me when 3 Canadian Pacific crossings just west of the yard were going and none of the train signals were even lit =P the traffic backed up a few blocks each way and the buses had to find a new way around it all, after a few minuets everybody just went around the gates.

Does it have to do with saltwater getting into the signals?

Around here, there is a number posted on every crossing to call if there is a problem with the gates. Did you call?

Hay at least it's giving a little break of traffic and trying to act like a traffic light but called I guess

"Hello, this is 911? I got hit by a malfunctioning gate on the head, I think that took some of my brain when gone up... Don't you think blowing the horn is harmless than taking a gate on the cranium?" "Yes, sir, we got several calls for malfunctioning gates, but malfunctioning gates strike and about the horns, uhm, I can't help!" "Oh, really? I haven't even noticed..." ¬¬;

Very good video!!

i guess railroad crossing are the new traffic lights

I bet the people in the cars are like, "WTF"?

Can you make a more updated version of people crossing the tracks and trying to beat the train?

I saw those people by that brick building.They looked like they were going to walk around the gates.

Hi Albert, first thing I do is call the local railroad number on the placard, then my second call is to the local police department in the area where the signal is informing them of the issue at hand and also telling them I have called the railroad number and they are apprised of the situation. If a crossing does this more than once in a few moments, I'm on the phone immediately!

Great video!!! Should be renamed the ghost crossing!!! Lol

That must have the silver star train you ran after coming back for you LOL

same thing happens whenever my dad is driving me somewhere in Pomona, California. we would cross a railroad crossing, the gates would come down, and this funny thing happened, there was no train at all!

Normally in the uk half barriers such as this are operated buy track circuit occupation by a train & two hydraulic levers (called Treadles) wired in series so for this to happen would require one of those 3 components to fail however all our crossing are fitted with 3 minute times so instead of raising so quickly they remain down for that 3minutes before raising

Yes he called 800 number but not sure of police been called. N allen my names allen too. Im actually in process of getting on the rail road but only a switcherm stay in town locally hauling to plant to plant. But those crossings can be tricky at times..allen do u know when they came out to look at the fan or wiring?

I know the rail administration here in Norway have some kind of Malfunction mode that tests out the crossing on the same way like this one. the barriers go down every 30 sec. but how many minutes was this going? there is normaly just 5 to 10 minutes here in Norway. if the Crossing works fine it goes back to normal service...

The malfunction was caused by a lightning bolt hitting the rail causing the gates to go down then back up shortly

Same thing happened in Anderson a train was stopped on the tracks 5 feet away and they were on for for 5 minutes

Is that you wearing the KZread T shirt? Where'd you get that?

Hoped it was called in. To my knowledge the crossings by my house only had 1 malfunction during a bad thunderstorm. I like malfunctions so long as there isn't actually a train near by.

The Control Panel Burnt Up

A short in the box CSX had to get a new board

I didnt know they even got hot like a person mentioned those big rr boxes near crossing that is. Where the wiring is n fans im guessing always wondered bout that. I know there a set off box between rails not far from crossing is that to warn crossing train is approaching to lower arm gaurd on signal

look at the amount of traffic that ignored it

Trolling level: ghost train

at 14:26 you hear another faint one malfunctioning as well

All you need is a piece of wire that reaches both railroad tracks to make the signals go off and gate go down. You can just keep it there and make the crossing malfunction all day or just be a ball buster and mess with traffic without running into the middle of the roads and playing with traffic

Thank you!! If you do let me know?? I will put you in my video.

That won't happen. I have reported malfunctioning gates and flashers more times than I can count. And there has been several instances when a train came through as the gates started going back up, they did not keep going up, THEY CAME BACK DOWN as soon as the train was in the designated control block. This is why I get honked and cursed at because I REFUSE to drive through a FUNCTIONING Crossing Gate w/Flashers on for this very reason. Good way to get hit by a train not waiting it out!

If y'all notice something in the background the traffic signal at the intersection is malfunctioning with the crossing. Every time the crossing comes and the gates go down the traffic signal in the background goes to it's preempt mode with track Clearance Green, yellow,red; and then to control the side street traffic (Highway Preemption Mode). I kinda feel bad for the people at the intersection dealing with a short cycling traffic light and a malfunctioning crossing signal.

Good video

Did you reported to the railroad?? Or did they already know????

If you see this happening call the emergency hotline number that's on the gate - so the issue can get fixed quicker because there could also be other gremlins present that could keep the gates from working when a train comes.

I'm curious...... 9 Years later did they ever fix these Gates so it not going up and down every 30 Seconds?

Am i also hearing another crossing in the distance malfunction also.....because i swear every so often i'll hear bells that sound like they are going off just before these go off again....

Good Idea

I have one just up the street that acts funky whenever it gets super cold out... The signals dont like cold weather.

No way would I have gone across that....that crossing is possessed, lol. If it does that when a train isn't coming wtf happens when one does O.O. I'll bet it was driving people working in buildings nearby bananas...

The part that got zapped is surely the thing that calculates the speed and direction of the approaching train to activate the gates about 25 seconds before the train arrives. If a train is in the block the gates are going down. Cycling in fail safe mode lets cars clear and not go around the gate but keep a cushion in the event a train enters the block at high speed. It's working exactly as designed. I missed the freaked out driver part, though

Good catch! I would have checked the flangeways for anything: moisture, mud, debris, leaves, etc., which may be electrically shunting the rails. Then look to see if anything down the track was causing an electrical shunt. Ever learn the cause? (I cannot watch all.23 minutes.) Thank you.

Have they been fixed yet?

was that a train i was hearing at 10:51?

Yeah I was stuck in that traffic for 30 minutes

Don't know I do have a few

Yes

It appears that the signals were tripped into test mode.

LOL I got the hat to and bumper stickers on my car

Same here when it gets to hot

It's been like that for years they said it's normal.

All of that wonderful Florida heat and moisture that needs to be up here, just doing it's job of messing with the circuits.

BossSpringsteen69 soooo truuueee man

It never gets tiring

If i could get a dollar each time the bell rang i would be wealthy.

aww, no train :(

The repair guy said one of the circuit boards got fried.

My gates where I live where down when there was no train and they where down for 16 hours.

What was causing the malfunction?

to Millenium Force, i dont know if you caught it with eye but your camera caught it. right at 9:45 to roughly 10:00 if im not mistaken, you caught a ghost in action. it happens as soon as the gates go down and look just to the right of the sign and you can see a blue hue of figure of a person walking across the tracks

Nice

They have been doing that for years

This is one of those things where we can laugh now because nothing bad happened, (lol) but it could have.

lol when I was a kid in the late 60's we knew how to set off the signals to mess with people. Now its all electronic

Shunt the tracks out or connect both rail together with something and they will drop out

Lol I have to watch this later with sounds, i was laughing to much in the uni library i only got to 2 minutes

Yes it is and I bought it on line at a google youtube store

I'm sure its fixed by now!? Or is the boy still crying "WOLF"?

ARE YOU MAKING IT FAIL? YOU GOT THE COUNT DOWN RIGHT!
