Here is a video of it in action:

Must be one heavy counterweight on that one...
Coming soon to a YouTube capable device near you... Milleniumforce starring as Human Counterweight for very long gate. Also featuring new installment of brain dead foamer gets hit on head with gate and chases Amtrack train for 10 feet before getting winded and gasping for air.

These two WC Hayes rigs in San Luis Obispo come in at least on the order of 32 feet, as per my measurements / shape usage in MSTS to span an analogous roadway.

These look long as well:

4-laners. Not bad. At least, they look lengthy.

That line used to go through my hometown back when it was owned by the Atlantic Coast Line, but went out of service back in the 50s or 60s from Sligh Avenue north.

Also, here's another long gate along that same line: https://www.google.com/maps/@27.968471, ... 2-07?hl=en

That is a bit of an odd one... I'm guessing the shorter gate is due to the power lines.
