back in Illinois a weed spraying truck went by and the signals did the same thing. they did it for about a minute after it passed.
Also, was the backhoe on railroad wheels?

It didn't look like it to me.

Obviously the crossing has DC approaches...and no motion detector. The signals would stay on from a temporary shunt if it had some sort of electronic circuitry...

Yep, Conrail frequently runs weed spraying trucks through here...and the signals go off...TommyBNSF wrote:I saw a weedspraying truck setting off signals too!illinoistrains wrote:back in Illinois a weed spraying truck went by and the signals did the same thing. they did it for about a minute after it passed.
