Well CSX workers finally went out and replaced Countri Lane's faded out gates with brand new ultra reflective gates! However, I think we need to come out and teach these morons about how to install gates properly... BECAUSE BOTH OF THEM ARE UPSIDE DOWN! Sheesh...

WAHOO FINNAL NEW GATES AT COUNTRI LN
wait WTF can csx do anything right
well at least theres strips on the gate now
THEY ALSO REPLACED MY FAVORIT CLICKING WCH M-BELL ON THAT LINE

lol kight i was only yanking your chain. The M bell is still there. I thought that would get your attention. I plan to get a video and pictures tomorrow mornign before my Doctor's Appointment. I will gladly thank them by giving them all a swift kick in the ass. You know it was probably mexicans who put em up. They also repainted the area where the arm bracket connects to the Gate Mechanism and nothing else which makes it look retarded.

Thank you.

How are they upside down?

The end which would have an opening from which to advance an extension is attached to the gate bracket?
Or do you go by the stripes? (The tops of the stipes point toward their signals.)
