Cameras at railroad crossings

Can't have signals without railroads, so talk about your favorite locomotives, railroads and any other (non signal) railroad related stuff.

Cameras at railroad crossings

Post by ColeD » Sat Mar 16, 2019 5:27 pm

I noticed there cameras at this crossing on that little shed, and I wondered why. Since I hadn't seen that at other crossings before.

Not entirely sure what they'd be used for, unless they've had issues with vandalism at that crossing.
They/Them for me, please.

That could be, although I just noticed the other crossing I posted they were working on, has the cameras as well.

I believe they were used to catch people violating the warning devices. Rock Hill Rd in Webster Groves, MO used to have those, but they got removed a couple years ago.

Why does everyone copy my signature?

OG signal collection signature, I think. :LOL2:

Don't believe so, given the angle they're at.

True, but there is still a possibility...
