Not my video, but certainly an odd malfunction:

Other side is stuck like that too, i'm probably the relay case overheated or something.

Interestingly enough, those signals use US&S E-Bells, not sure if they were designed for use in Mexico though, theres very little of them in the U.S

I disagree... the other gate is always like that due to the power line.

I think what is happening in the video is the gate is hitting the light because it was bent back and is not going fully up. It's enough to shut the lights off, but the hold clear is not engaging.

On the Season One finale of Railroad Australia, the nearby crossing malfunctions for an unknown reason, either due to a misaligned switch or cars sitting on the sensor.

It starts at 29:59

The crossing is this crossing, GSV only shows a 2008 street view, in which the crossing had Westinghouse 8 inch lights and a WCH mechanical bell.

However, when 2015 rolled around and GSV came back, the crossing had been replaced with United Group Limited and Safetran equipment.

The crossing is this crossing, GSV only shows a 2008 street view, in which the crossing had Westinghouse 12x20 inch lights and a WCH mechanical bell.

However, when 2015 rolled around and GSV came back, the crossing had been replaced with GEC Alstom and Safetran equipment.

Those are 8 inch.

Those are 8 inch.

And they were made by United Group Limited (who took over the production of the lights from Alstom a few years ago).

Here's a Czech crossing that has one signal where the red lights failed to activate and the other signal has a dead e-bell:

Fun fact: The boxes you see near the signals were from the old SSSR equipment, i believe that is where the old SSSR horns were kept before they died or were replaced by those shoddy E-bells.


Heres an unusual one, the crossing raises, then one gate lowers for some odd reason, the rest then lower like nothing happened.
