The trucks crane was raised too high, causing the crane of the flatbed truck to make contact with a 15,000 volt overhead line, causing the truck to c...

Re: signals in the media
Found this one, German residents in the town of Hohenstadt are "nerve-racked" with the electronic bell on the crossing, reportedly because it sounds throughout the whole activation.

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
What's up with these gate counterweight arms? This crossing was installed in the late 2000's and appears to be capable of holding an A-Frame gate. :Confused: https://www.google.com/maps/@41.2309275,-84.0299033,3a,16.4y,357.22h,76.17t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sCOJeG1hMGPUODra0pkGlag!2e0!5s20130901T000000!7...

Re: This price seems a little too high...
This Teardrop bell is on the market for around $449, which kinda seems a little overpriced IMO, shipping will cost you up to $161, overall you'd be paying $610 for this overall, Eek! https://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-Union-Switch-Signal-Model-15A-Railroad-Crossing-Teardrop-Bell-AND-mount/254555488115?_t...

Active crossing in Chicago, IL, this road has been closed for a few years and the gates on the crossing were removed a few years ago but pedestrians can still access the crossing. https://www.google.com/maps/@41.6739985,-87.6334157,3a,40.7y,1.35h,93.51t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1skb1vlpdHh9qzwDH_D3eMeg!2e0...

Re: How has the Coronavirus affected You?
Unfortunately, cases have kinda shot up here in the past few weeks, and one of my older cousins who lives in another borough of our county sadly passed away from the coronavirus, which means i've lost two family members in the course of three weeks. Two nurses have died from COVID-19, one being 68 y...

Here's a clip from Thailand, in which an impatient pickup truck driver drives through the gate, nearly being obliterated by a passing freight train.
