Re: Bell only crossings

Here's one I discovered from my country, a platform crossing at Woodlesford in North Yorkshire. I discovered this video whilst idly looking through a playlist consisting of old level crossing footage. The video featured dates from 2005.

Re: Crossing Gate Contact

This showed up in my subscription feed earlier today, with the crossing barrier landing on the back of the viewers car at 1:13, combined with a too close for comfort near miss with the train.
