I heard that there were several accidents at that grade crossing, and it really needs to get eliminated. You can read the report when you type in the words "Delaware Valley Planning Commission CSX Philadelphia Subdivision." There, you will find the area that they are studying for future recommendations. Plus, there are so many railroad crossings on that subdivision that go through residential neighborhoods.
At one time their was a tower that stood on the east side of the tracks at 6th and the R R , the gate operator would pump down the gates. P T C had a derail switch on both sides of the trolley track the guy that operated the switch was below the tower. The trolley.s could not cross the R R track unless he closed the switch so the trolleys could cross the tracks with out being derailed. The B & 0 had two tracks and sidings on both sides of the main line, before that their was a train station on the west side of the tracks that was before my time.
nice video ,but messed it up at the end with the trolley with that closeup was a bad move should've kept it far like it was ,with trolley going over the track and still see the train ...i been waiting for a video wit both and this had it ,but that closeup on trolley ...but awesome video
Awesome! My dad's old fire house is right by there!
The 11 often gets delayed because the trains are long or the gates are still down after the train passes.
Magic.....
that is a really neat view great job bro!

This is an awesome video. How did you get to get in the Cherry Picker?
Awesome Video! Love the vantage point. Are those trolly tracks that cross the freight line?
Yes. I used to live a few streets down, from that crossing.
