Mike's Railroad Crossing Forum

Hey Patrick,

I've witnessed the clips from the YT webpage of the Cajon Pass and I'm just curious on how you have the lights coordinated ( animation time and/or how you have them set ). Also, the type of lights are used ( ON or OFF lights. )


BTW those pictures from the El Cajon looks fantastic.

I talked to him on Monday October 3. I asked him this question, since it was posted on here. He is working on one he says, but who knows when it will be released.

I hate to add to this, but might as well ask now. I noticed you do have cantilevers on your crossings. Are those your own creations, because I do not have those yet.

I was just wondering if you have made them .ACE files yet.

The cantilevers will probably be released at a later date.

I started a little project for Mike today,

WOW CalTrain, you've gone Canadian on me with those crossbucks!!

I also have 2 suggestions.

US&S Model 95 Gate Mechanism
WRRS Gate Mechanism

There are tons of WRRS's on the line through Morris, so if you need pictures, I have no problem taking them. US&S Model 95's are growing in popularity, especially with CN and BNSF. There are a lot in Mazon so it won't be hard.

Tommy, you do have a point about the US&S. I've been seeing these crossings in Beaumont TX where BNSF runs through. They would go good with my BNSF routes.

I know, they've been installing them all over on the lines through IL, I have lots of videos of them in action.

Hey Tommy, By any chance, do you have any pictures with the US&S Signals with gates?

I think we forgot what this topic Benny originally said this was, a photo topic, so I'll get back on track. This is fictional Route 76 just west of Shelby, MT, on Marias Pass. These 2 8 inches might not last, because BNSF is building a yard west of here that will block intermodal cars and forward trains, and this train is a work train going into the yard. So look for changes. Taken on June 19, 2003 (not really).
