I speak my mind, if you don't like that oh well. I'll have you fill out a hurt feelings report and submit that to my office.

Re: Crossing Gate Contact
my mother told me one time she was coming up to a crossing and the gates were down and the guy in front of her didnt slow down, just went right through the crossing and the gate went flying.

Go to 4:35. If you care to watch the whole thing, go ahead. At 3:45 the gates go down, but only to go back up again at 4:23. From Skyman2002. Here's the crossing on Mike's site:

Re: Crossing Gate Contact
well as guess as long as were telling storiesillinoistrains wrote:my mother told me one time she was coming up to a crossing and the gates were down and the guy in front of her didnt slow down, just went right through the crossing and the gate went flying.
in my life so far ive seen a total of
2 gates sprung
1 gate get broke
and at least 2 times where gates have hit vehicles
the first gate i saw get sprung was while i was riding the MetroLink
http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ie=UT ... 57,,2,-2.8
it had gs springs back when i saw it get hit and it looked just like this spring gate video
i believe it has NEG gate savers now
the second time was also on MetroLink there was a two lane gs spring gate and this time it didnt save the gate the gate busted in half
kinda like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5TG-gDNKu0
i think that was at this rr xing
http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ie=UT ... 6,,0,-6.04
and some crossing in st louis area forgot which one i saw a small delivery truck snap a gate off it had a break away adapter and it worked fine
the train was also going slow enough to stop and removed the gate from the tracks
next up at Kirkwood
seen this gate smack a car it was the funnest thing ive seen
finally in Webster Groves Mo
this gate got hit 5 years ago and still is messed up
A driver of a vehicle panicked when the signals activated, and the driver stopped on the tracks. The driver then tried to back up, bending the gate towards oncoming traffic.
the gates bent but everything else looks fine
well thats it those are the gate contact stories i have

This one has it all - a broken gate, a missing gate, and flashing lights even though there does not appear to be a train in sight: Street view in Goshen, CA outside of Visalia.
Any ideas what happened here?
