The Strangest Railroad Crossing You've Ever Seen

The Florida Central Railroad has a unique grade crossing: two legs of the wye in Tavares run through a traffic circle just east of the Orlando & Northwestern's depot on Lake Dora Drive.

This is definitely unique, the cab perspective really gives a view a trackside run-by can't capture. Thanks for sharing!

Only a Pontiac Aztec owner would commit to cutting ahead of a freight train

A railway line going through a roundabout; I can go home now I've seen it all.

[marvu]

Citizens must be happy of train honking 10 yards from their windows.

[owenmeschter]

Man. Florida just keeps getting weirder

[SantaFe]

A roundabout with one railroad track is crazy enough, now let's have one with two tracks going in different directions!

[CityWhisperer]

I am more surprised by the fact that there are roundabouts in the US,

[dragondancer]

Love the cab-cam perspective! That’s a view most of us never get the opportunity to enjoy! Throw in the trip through the traffic circle, and this just gets better and better! Thanks!

He was hammering the horn at that crossing

[braduh]

Florida: let's put a round about here
Florida centeral railroad: hold my beer

America: Roundabouts are hard, how do they work?
Also America: Let's put a bidirectional railway track with points in the middle of a ring road!

Bass boats and trains, my two favorite forms of transportation.

If roundabouts aren't bad enough hey let's throw in a railroad crossing !!!!

[jameschristiansson]

I like the sound of all train horns. Except maybe this one.

[amtrakisveryepic]

You gotta love the guy that stopped before the train got there and then continued when they realized the train was going slower than they are.

[richardwoodworth]

Let’s see, we got: A CF7, a weird crossing, And street running! Holy railfan trifecta

[DruSteel]

Nice catch. Beautiful scene of the train on the bridge. - Drew

This is most definitely unique. The crossings aren't protected, and there are no flashing signals. The rare crossings like this where I live are usually around yards or industrial areas, and the engineer has to get out and stop traffic and then advance his locomotive forward with a remote control.

[freebrickproductions]

Certainly one of the weirder crossing lay-outs out there, but not the weirdest in terms of equipment used, that I've seen anyways (though the modern "Look Out For Cars" sign on the crossbuck at 2:28 is a bit unusual).

[julinization]

Easy with that horn, must be real nice leaving close to that noise. Nice video, thanks.
