Can't have signals without railroads, so talk about your favorite locomotives, railroads and any other (non signal) railroad related stuff.

WSOR Operation Lifesaver Demo Train from 2016

Post by AndyWS »

Uploaded this video for the 10th anniversary yesterday. About once a year, usually in September coinciding with the start of the school year and utilizing the Prairie du Chien subdivision which runs through the UW-Madison campus, Wisconsin and Southern holds Operation Lifesaver "Officer on a Train" demonstration runs, where police officers ride along/observe crossing violations and issue safety education/citations as necessary.

A box truck stops under the gate at the crossing in the distance, and has to back up last second. Then in the last scene we see what turned out to be my last footage of the B&B ARMR crash barrier gates at Whitney Way, about a month before they were removed as per the order of the state railroad commissioner.
