Carpenter's Crossing Malfunction
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 окт 2024
- Made a trip to the Strasburg Railroad on Sunday, October 9th. When we arrived at the Carpenter's grade crossing on Black Horse Rd, we noticed the crossing was having a seizure...
Person who tries to "fix" the crossing: koasterkidd
Plot Twist: Everything works fine, the train is reversing back and forth a mile away.
Then why isn’t the other one activating?
@@captainminecraft631 because thats the broken one.
2:13
"But I like hearing the ding ding!"
"I'm sure you do."
1:33 Oh way to go you broke it even more!
Ding Ding 🙂
😂
@@supermariotransitfan1662 he broke the RAILROAD CROSSING
"Stop it Lucille!!" lol wtf! the crossing has a name?! at least that's what I heard.
Bad hold clear mechanism (the hold clear is what keeps the gate up).
***** Simple fix?
1:56 DAMN IT!
WRRS Bell: *ding ding*
0:44 I heard a steam train 😲
Me too
Me three
Me too
Me four
Me five
I've seen this very malfunction happen in person in Hinsdale, Illinois at the Garfield Street crossing. We ended up using the bridge at Oak Street to cross since we didn't trust the signal, and with good reason - the moment we were on the other side, a train came through and the gate was still spazzing out like this. We ended up reporting it to the BNSF.
I like that Safetran bell
@@thunderbolttdmplayz6750 its not a Safetran. I'm guessing its probably a Western Cullen Hayes or a Western Railroad Supply
@@Stormchaser3030appears to be WC Hayes or Federal Signal
0:45 steam whisle
Noah Haggerty that’s what made the video good!! Well no the whole video was good I remember watching this before I had a RUclips account
The correct spelling is whistle. You left out the T. You spelled whistle the way it's pronounced.
Noah Haggerty yea that is former great western now Strasburg railroad #90
I thought she was coming
It’s sounds like Strasburg railroad train
Who heard the steam engine whistle at 0;45 to 0;49 Seconds
Me
Me too
Me
Me
I did
What guys it's just waving hello
Ha what the heck wud it wave hello
H - H Hello!
+Royann Greenwood DAMMIT! It i snot waving at ALL, COME ON!
LOL
JarynGames
How about we move that crossing signal to [You might never believe me] LOL-LOL-Land.
1:33 oh way to go you broke it even more🤣🤣🤣🤣
"I will decapitate the arm!"
Not gonna lie, this is my new favorite 'cheer me up' video. Great stuff.
What now!
0:45 did anyone hear the whistle in the background? I did!
The Owl Fan same
me too
That's 90's Reading 6 chime.
The Owl Fan I did
The Owl Fan I did
Hold Clear won't lock into place
1:33 Oh Way To Go You Broke It Even More,
Well I wouldn't go as far to say THAT...
@@Ih8kone He just held it enough that the contacts opened to flash the lights but not enough for the motor to kick the gate back up. Those malfunctions are caused by something in the mechanism not engaging the hold clear, causing the gate to fall. The motor then kicks the gate back up, and it repeats. It is funny to watch lol
That crossing won’t even work lol
now hold on, what you watched was the second time the gates went bad. Before 90 even came through, I did manage to stop the gates from malfunctioning, but after 90 came through, of course, the gates started to malfunction again. This second attempt is what we filmed, because I actually thought, at the time, that I could fix it again. Just calm down, because you are the first person to make a big fuss over this video, and everyone else had a good laugh out of it.
1:33 how I try to fix a broken crossing gate but when someone said I broke it even more
well, I really want to live near that thing!! it is always waving at you😂😂
XD god of railfaning
1:18-1:25~ "Chad, hold on, I'm gonna call it in for god's sake- Stop trying to be god of railfanning!" and then 1:30-1:42~ [Wabco bell ringing] "Oh way to go, you broke it even more!" [No other dialogue] "Well-oh my god.." and lastly 1:51-1:57~ [For a few seconds nothing then bell rings] "DAMMIT!" Those are the funniest moments in the film
that's a pumping malfunction that should be reported to the railroad company asap.
might be poor balance or bad motor
Great rail therapy....I like IT!!!! Big like from Romania
It’s located at: Blackhorse Road, Paradise, PA
Rip railroad crossing 2011 - 2016, Reason: It was going crazyyyyyy, probably from a random train stepping on activation sensor and getting off it
This is the Strasburg Railroad in Lancaster County, PA.
this video is damn hilarious love Jason Benton
Faulty Hold Clear Device. The gate has no idea if it needs to be up or down, so it tries both.
The railroad needs to hire someone full time to hold that gate up.
When the video ended he was waving at the veiwers goodbye
Gate pumping?
Nathan Rigby
?
竹間昌弘 6&/ bg n
+Rainbowlevelcrossing its having a bad day
RXRNathan yes the gate is pumped up for a party lmao 🚂🚂🚂
What a friendly railroad crossing. 😂
It's bored lol
For real.
Hey mom! Look! Railroad tra.... What the? OMG! THAT GATE IS WAVING AT ME!!!!!! Hai!!!!!
This is a Westinghouse box and what it is failing is the slot that keeps the level crossing UP.
This unit works with 24V dc and the basic principles are the following:
1. When the level crossing is commented to close (through a pedal mounted onto the tracks), the electrical current changes its verse going from 0-24Volts to -24-0Volts.
2. This triggers the engine inside that turns on the bell (only when descending mode, never in ascending mode), the lights and then, after 7 or more seconds, the mechanisms that lower the barrier.
3. When the barrier is completely lowered, the level crossing sends control current to the sentry-box and eventually turning on railroad signals.
4. After the train passes the level crossing, there are more pedals to press that tell the sentry-box to open the gates re-inverting the current (from -24-0 to 0-24V).
5. When the barriers have completed the cycle, a special device cuts the current to the engine (which would blow if kept under power with the gates at the bottom end) and uses that current to feed this special device called "slot", which is basically an electro-magnet with a pin(which is unlikely to break or get damaged) that keeps the barrier locked into position untill the next cycle, where the current to the slot is cut and fed again to the engine and everything starts again.
If the slot is short-circuited, broken or has been stroke by a lightning or any other overcharge, it does no more work as an electro-magnet. Not being retained anymore, the pin doesn't lock the barriers in place and, since the whole system is designed in a way so that if there is a power outrage, the gates automatically close by gravity, the barrierd begin to fall.
This alerts a switch that operates only when barriers are not into 90 degrees position and turns the whole system on again. But since the sentry-box is still in the "up" state (since no train commanded gates closure), the current is stil set to lift the barrier and the opening cycle begins again.
At the end of that cycle, the box should go to rest, but since the slot is damaged/non working, the pin can't lock the barrier into 90° position, the barrier begins to fall, this alerts the switch and the whole story goes on and on again and again, until someone comes to fix the problem.
Fortunetely "slot fulmination" is really a rare event.
The boy trying to keep the barrier into 90° position is doing exactly what the slot and the pin would be supposed to do if the slot worked correctly.
Forgot to say that this is something "box-related" only. As you can see, only one box is failing while the other is correctly into rest-attitude.
Crossings typically work by nature of track circuits, not pedals, and what you call a "slot" is probably what we call a hold-clear in the states. Also, our gates typically also work on 10-12VDC, not 24V.
@@CWR_56Nice to understand the differences between Italy and the States.
In our country both closing command and opening command are given from pedals (1 bidirectional for closure, 2, monodirectional and distanced 7 meters one from each other for opening). They are built by a French company called SILEC and are used in all automatic level crossing like the one in the video since mid '50s. There were some experiments with AFO (Audio Frequency Overlay) but were dropped soon and the pedal system was standardised.
For the "slot" yes you are right, in Italy that is the name of the hold-clear device.
As for the voltage, in Italy only the few first imported models of level crossing were 12VDC working with american relays, after the '50s the system was standardised and they were uniformed to 24VDC when national railways switched to SIEMENS relays which were working with 24VDC.
By the way thanks for the message, it is always nice to know something about how railroads work abroad.
Crossing:cmon..
Gate:nah last time you didn’t let me work
Cmon guys, can't you just see that the crossing just wants to wave a hello to you.
That's what i saw lol
I live in Canada and we don't have toughs often. and to me lol at 1:32.
i like when the guy try to fix it
its saying hello there and stop scaring people your tampering with them that's illigel
No it's not
It might be illegal, but he is a good citizen.
i love the part where he says stop it luciule he lets go dang it!!!!
Presumably traffic would still have to stop due to the red light and ringing bell 🛎
How come do that for??
i hope that your friend knows how much trouble he'd be in for just what he did alone... they'd have a fit over that!!
That railroad signal is waving hi. XD
front and ack dont look the same
Because the Crossbuck only faces one way
I saw the inside mechanism on that very gate. It prob had an electrical contact that wouldn't open. I told the rr's electrician about this vid, he explained it to me.
I know what causes this, when the gate is up there’s a mechanism inside that locks the gear in place to hold the gate up. When the mechanism isn’t locked, the gate tries to fall but it’s supposed to be up, so then the lift function is activated. So the gate going up and down is caused by the gate being released and being pulled up into the up position and it’s constantly repeating.
you mean infinite loop?
@@friend6221 Yeah, pretty much.
You are referring to the Hold-Clear device. Yes, in this case, it seems to not be latching.
Something is wrong with the railroad crossing.
That dumb crossing...😠😠😠
Did you report the crossing?
Hopefully.
I like the guy trying to fix the gate
Reminds me of something out of the movie Maximum Overdrive.
Gatemms mechanism and ratchet gears are stripped,,, signal maintainer needs to be notified,,,, just call the 800 number that's posted on the location and give them the DOT# AND MILE POST
the gate mech had a bad hold clear that's what keep the gate up while there are no trains as soon as a train hits the approach power is taken from the hold clear but in this case the hold clear is not holding the gate and the motor up contact is closed not allowing to drop fully. in a nut shell it's more complicated than this but this is the best way I can describe it
I agree, or a bad/loose/broken motor up contact causing the gates to jack.
This is the correct answer. I am a signal maintainer......
My brain during a test be like
That just kind of look like my railroad crossing also railroad crossing sould stop having beer
Disco Fever !!!
The railroad corssing doesn't know who it slept with....
Hey that is very good
Afterglow?
I just hope my railroad crossing does not act like yours
"Oh way to go, you broke it even more!"
"Ding ding"
This has me laughing so hard
0:45 0:49 I heard a train
This action is called pumping. The crossings are unsure if they are supposed to go down, therefore it's a malfuntion
1:00 yaya!
"That doesn't even make any sense." hahahaha
Oh way to go you broke it even more!
the crossing bell keeps ringing
the railroad crossing is angry
Good Job.
it's funny when gates are broken:)
6 days before i was born.
I know whats wrong its the gates swaying that makes the bell sound
I want to hear the ding ding
Whole-clear relay failure
I think because is lose
Nah, it's a problem in the gate mechanism. Crossings work that the bell and lights work with the gate, depending on how it's wired, the home-clear is supposed to hold the gate up, but since it's not working, the gate is falling and the motor is catching it and bringing it back up. It's call a pumping gate or oscillation of the gate mechanism. =)
The person says really good it will get even more crossing yeah you’re right broke me even more
lol
wig wag
Ding ding ding ding ding
When i Heard 90s whisel in my head i Said fix it quick she is coming
Prob not, but guess what, if I do, he will hear a ear full too, if there one thing that will piss me off is people that cant respect rail property, such as the gates, and trespassers. Someone needs to show all of you the proper way to railfan, stay off the tracks, and if the gate is malfunctioning call someone out, but dont try to be wise and fix it yourself.You dont know what your doing, and your making the malfunction worse and the job harder
1:29
1:16
Leave it alone it just waving hello to people that are visiting
No it's not it's malfunctioning
The most interesting malfunction I've ever seen! lol
call csx
what?
ya haha i thought it was a train coming too!!
1:56 damit!
Technically this has happen a lot of times this is a malfunction it’s and old break mechanism you can probably find one
0:45 OH NO TRAIN COMING!
That level crossing is broken
It's not a level crossing, it's a grade crossing
U guys called csx or the railway to know that there was a malfunctioning grade crossing?
one of you should of been in the car, about to go over the crossing, and every time you hear the bell going off, just slam on the brakes. when it stops, inch up. repeat.
That guy holding it up looks like Mark Rober from afar
Decapitate the arm? Doesn't make sense, indeed.
Some americans are not very bright my friend.
Aidyn R761 I'm an American and I can agree.
+Aidyn R761 Hahaha
1:24
That would be illegal. To do so would be tampering with government property.
I WANA HEAR THE DING DING and i love "CHAD the god of railfans" reaction the the situation
Could be someone putting a piece of metal across the track out of sight in the circuit to cause this to happen.
Did you call the railroad about this? If it is a malfunction, it should be called in.
No, if the crossing was being activated, both gates would be descending. This is most likely a failure of the hold-clear device to latch.
Umm what?
The gates locking mechanism broke and they keep falling, and every time it falls, the gates go into their lifting state, and when they get done lifting, a lock is supposed to hold them in place, but the lock isn't working for some reason and so it doesn't hold them, so they fall and the process starts all over again.
I think it's how the gate works. When the gate lowers to a certain point the lights and bells automatically turn on. And I guess it keeps bouncing back and forth
