Mike's Railroad Crossing Forum

There are a few classic signals along this stretch of tracks that I'd like to get pictures of. Still some black track and SORS signs...

I guess it'd be helpful if I posted the link....

The weird thing is the traffic light setup only on one side of the crossing, which i kinda find overkill because well the crossing has lights, E bells, AND gates... so those are pretty much worthless and I mean there is no hill or curve. I dont get it.

I'm guessing those are linked to the traffic lights at the intersection just up the road there. I bet when there is a train coming, the traffic lights on this side of the crossing go red before the crossing signals are activated to keep traffic from getting backed up and a car possibly getting stuck in the middle of the crossing.

Yep, that's the reason. We all know how idiotic people are....
