Mike's Railroad Crossing Forum

Recorded on 5-27-20. After catching the westbound manifest at Arlington Ave #2 in Birmingham, me and Myles decided to catch our final train of the day on the UP Coffeyville Sub. We decided to film this westbound UP coal train at Truman Rd #1. Like 12th St #1, the KCT signals you see in the distance have their rear lights off whenever there isn't a KCT train on their track. Same case goes for the gs type 2 on the far left signal. Not sure why KCT programmed their signals to have their lights and bells to do that. Also, speaking of bells, sadly the wch mechanical bells here are long gone on both the KCT signals and the two UP signals here. For some reason after the train passed, the gates stayed down for a long time. Not sure what caused that to happen. course I managed to catch 3 idiots going around the gates here (SMH). Now I can see why this crossing can use some exit gates.

Recorded on 7-6-20. Another video I took of this crossing in action. Thankfully, no changes have occurred since I last filmed here back in May.
