Major malfunction

Post by cabman701 »

Check out the issues with this crossing starting at about the 1:40 and 4:15 mark. Then, at 6:50, it completely deactivates while the train is still crossing! :Scared:

This is in Tampa...

I noticed that when the first time it crossed the crossing, the gates went up while the last car was still in the crossing and it activated briefly after the train had passed.
Wonder how often that line is used...
They/Them for me, please.

Okay, I totally thought that CSX had no more incandescent gate lights! :Confused:

Being a local of 20 years here, I can say that this line is under-used, and I last saw a train on it earlier this year (at Fletcher to the north by one crossing, not 131st). However, that was like the first time in like 12 years or so that I had personally seen a train on it, but I'm sure it gets more usage than that.

Also, railfanning in the University area is not something I'd recommend, and for that reason, I wouldn't be one to go up there to get signal pictures.
Crossing pictures from Plant City, FL are finally here! viewtopic.php?f=13&t=2538
