I have a video of the Queensbury Dr. crossing today. Hopefully it is less shaky than the other video of it.

I do have pictures of the signals in action, I will post them later though.

Edit: Here is a picture of one of the signals in action, I had another picture of the other signal but it didn't turn out as good.

They/Them for me, please.

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.

The train for the guy in the car next to me because he asked "Train coming?". I guess that some *cough* almost none *cough* of the Huntsville drivers pay attention to the crossing signals. :glare:

And thats why when you work for a railroad you just let them drive out and get hit by the train.
