Playlist of "Activation Failure" Malfunctions
Posted: Tue Feb 11, 2025 5:36 pm
An "activation failure" is a very rare and very serious type of crossing malfunction. My criteria for a malfunction to be considered an "activation failure" includes:
- Signals completely fail to activate for an approaching train
-Signals activate, but deactivate before the train reaches the crossing
- Signals activate after the train reaches the crossing
- Signals give MUCH less than the minimum 20 seconds of warning time
- Signals either completely deactivate while a train is passing or the signals begin the deactivation sequence but manage to reactivate before completely deactivating
Because of the rarity of these malfunctions, I am creating a public playlist of such examples. If you know of any videos not in this playlist, drop the links here. Feel free to add international examples.
