Re: signals in the media

In the Family Guy episode Blind Ambition while a chicken fight occurs, at 0:34, a railroad crossing comes into place. Because the driver of the car cannot see it, he crashes through the gate and the car is hit by the train and explodes on impact. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IsXBZGga5w Oh dear, t...

Re: Closed off railroad crossings.

Gypsy Lane level crossing is closed to vehicular traffic but pedestrians can still access the still active signals. https://www.google.com/maps/place/54%C2%B031'60.0%22N+1%C2%B010'49.3%22W/@54.5322298,-1.1805934,18.1z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x0!8m2!3d54.53333!4d-1.18036?hl=en StreetView: https://www.g...

Railroad Crossings with unusual features.

Sometimes in railroad crossing history, you can sometimes see an unusual feature. I was looking at the West Gore Street railroad crossing in Orlando and came across these No left/right turn red light signs. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@28.5308462,-81.3825685,3a,43.1y,354.47h,89.5t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m...

Re: Railroad crossings in Video Games

There is a railroad crossing on a track in that racing game Blur, when you pass it the first time the signals are non-active. The next time you pass the signals are active. Unfortunately the trains don't move :(
