Odd Light Setups At Railroad Crossings

This video may be having problems with playback due to YouTube processing and I blurr some stuff out and YouTube added a blurr at the beginning that I can't remove. Here is a railroad crossing compilation video of railroad crossings with unusual setup lights either having no front side lights on some signals. extra lights, weirdly arranged lights, and or even lights having off the bottom of bridges. Here's some I've filmed that I put together in this week's compilation video.

Quite some weird light setups indeed! It just goes to show ya that signal maintainers will do what it takes to make people stop.

That gate on the right at 4:00 is ENORMOUS, good lord! You can visibly see how much the gate motor struggles to lift it back up again.

Seems odd but very unique and cool at the same time

[VoxelBro]

Thanks for this video. I love wierd signals like this. First time seeing your channel!

[phillipwalling]

They may be odd and weird, but as long as they work, I ain't complaining.

That one Volvo stopped in the middle of the tracks as the signals started to go at 5:31. Plus, that semi truck almost hit the crossing gate as soon as it was going down at 4:20.

The first one isn’t that weird it’s just doesn’t have its back plate

6:38 That one's gonna give me nightmares.

13:31 I do like the Railroad/Traffic Light Hybrid! Barely see any of those anywhere!

the first one looks like something put together with parts from home depot. joking aside, that crossing is fairly normal in the Nederlands, there is no foot bridge at the end of the transit station, they just build a crossing like that, sometimes they build them without the lights, just gates and bells. but the usual is a total of 2 lights by themselves and 2 gates for the whole crossing. and i am sure your wondering where is the rubber sun guard around the lights, im wondering why they missed that.

other than that, the cantilever crossings shown have lights pointed at incoming traffic, and some of them like in the second clip have offside lights like in the center island, again, pointing at all incoming traffic. that includes traffic in both the left and right turn lanes

@1:13 Looks like the top pair is pointed more towards the left...

[K-o-R]

US crossings don't muck around do they? Those barriers are dropping *immediately.*

13:45 Look at that adorable little pedestrian barrier with ALL the lights.

[KurtisCharlton]

That is an odd configuration! Nice video👍🏻🚂

[FunbotboyGamingCool]

Nice bro! You should find more realistic crossing like this! Also i love ur videos!

At 4:20, not only are lights mounted on a bridge, but the crossbuck is different, it's not at right angles, it is similar to ones used in Australia and the early 20th century US.

11:54 UP 9901s horn is MUSICAL!!! Perfectly in tune

[jasminehyman]

0:18 fun fact: yellow line is the shortest
Line in the Cta. From demster Skokie to Howard

[Ploryandyoopfan]

What why in the begging of the video why is there a trangle thing in the corner of the screen

[OtterMan]

9:48 I filmed a crossing with lights like that. It’s 205th Avenue in Hillsboro, OR

[KaciCooperations]

That was unusual crossing! Nice video btw!
