Looks like an NS crossing.

If I had to take a guess, the batteries were starting to go bad and/or the gates draw so much power that it affects the current to some of the lights, causing them not to turn on.
They/Them for me, please.

Yes, this is a Norfolk Southern line

Now tell me... were you able to figure out what crossing this was just from the picture/video? If so, that's pretty impressive since you don't live anywhere near Georgia. :cool:

Simple. He has another video on his channel of traffic lights and the road was in the title. I put that in the search bar and began looking for railroad tracks. Once I found the line, I looked at every crossing on Streetview until I found it.

Side note: The lights have been upgraded to LEDs in the video since how Streetview shows incandescent lights.

Yea, NS has upgraded that entire line to LEDs apparently. A truck was hit by a train just up the line from there as well.
They/Them for me, please.

Well... I'm impressed. I guess I don't have that much time and patience to do all that. :LOL4:
