Another video from Mexico, These signals don't even activate, and a truck tries to beat a train but fails. I wonder where are the money is going to Ferromex and KCSM for maintaining these crossings.

Looks like it started to pump, but then stopped....in the wrong position.

I just filmed a crossing that just happen to malfunctioned on me as soon as the train crossed the crossing, and also, one of the lights on the other signal fell off.


And the most craziest thing is that CN literally just upgraded this crossing a month ago. :LOL3:

Not to worry, as soon as I shut off the camcorder, I called CN regarding this malfunctioning crossing and the light the fell off the other signal.

Tail-ring malfunction? Once the train passes the crossing, the crossing suddenly reactivates for whatever reason. (Skip to 4:22).
