Oky doky then.

Maybe the train is actually off the crossing, but it looks like it is, and that the lights are not on.

I can't tell, unless the lights are in mid-flash?

[Crossingman18]

well if you look in the picture, the ditch lights are not on, so the train isn't moving. My guess would be that the crew manually turned off the signals.

[ER801]

If a train stops on the approach, but hasn't reached the island, then the signals should reset and turn off. ...Rarely does a train crew interfere with grade crossing signals, except in switching operations and such. It is NOT a standard practice for a train crew member to "manually turn off" signals on a mainline.

Here's another one on this same subject:

The train is clearly in the middle of that crossing, but the gate is up?

I even left a comment on the picture asking if the road was closed or something but never got a response. Also, check out the odd bell placement on that signal.

Interesting mounting of the bell there also, inbetween the two sets of lightheads...

[Crossingman18]

there was a mini bell designed like the bell on the signal in the 2nd picture on Ebay. What made my head spin was someone was gonna pay over $380 for a mini bell that was to be mounted with 2 U bolts.

Pretty outrageous...

I had a hunch this was the case. There is a second track in the street that we can't see because of the snow.

See here it doesn't look like it's used anymore.
