Thank God for preemption!!

Thankfully the old 62660 detection units were upgraded with GCP4000's on the double track. The single line still has the older 62500 motion sensors.

Here is a video of a train that I caught there.

I wonder if all the signals will activate regardless of witch track a train is on?

I would assume that all the signals activate for either track. Would be interesting to see if the traffic lights are set up to allow traffic to move if a train is going through straight and not blocking the entire intersection.

Looks like you were there right after the Wabash/Allen St. crossing upgrade. I see both the old and new bungalows are there. Nice one, thank you!

The West Livingstone Street crossing in Orlando, Florida has became quite an unusual setup since SunRail started installation pedestal and quote gates on crossings, or just replacing old setups entirely.

Quite a few in Skagit County, WA

Somewhat bizarre passive crossing

Saw these last Monday on the way to Anacortes to film one of their FS 2001-SRNB's.

On the middle of a steep hill. Wouldn't want to get stopped here during the wintertime.

Pair of gated cantilevers for the mainline and.... one gateless cantilever for the spur track?

For a crossing this big, you'd think they would install median signals.

Used to be no crossbucks for the front most crossing. Reasoning for this one is because the tracks protected by only crossbucks is owned by a shortline.

This one goes through the middle of an intersection!

Gate masts and cantilevers are too far apart.

Crossbuck is too far from the crossing.
