Car HITS Train in South Sacramento

Post by Arizona_Mike »

Found this on YouTube...must be recent...

This time the car hit the train, not the train hitting the car...

I'm trying to identify the lights...It's a UP line according to the reporter....The bells are GS Type 2 bells...and the LED lights are fading...that's all I know

Anyways, here's the link : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9S1U_-tq62Q

That's this crossing,

The bells are Safetran Type 1, not heard in the video, possibly replaced, a GS Type 2 and a WCH Type 3 Electronic Bell. The lights look like 12x24 Safetran Fading LED's and 12x20 WCH 1st Generation Red LED's.

was that driver trying to commit suicide or something??? He just kept on going while the train was already crossing. What a dumbass. You can't beat the train if the train is already crossing...

Is it just me, or is that one gate under the bridge bent?
