That is a pretty cool crossing! Today I saw an RJ Corman train in clarksville Tennessee at an old railroad crossing that had a WRRS mechanical bell on it however unfortunately the bell was dead!
On the Minneapolis Light Rail Blue Line, Alstom light heads (with Alstom branding) are on almost every crossing! To top it off, the LEDs in all those lights are WCH Clear!
@@UsTrainsAndSirens It doesn't happen in real life. Latter and former are also terms used to refer to a pair of items that are listed out, with latter referring to the second of the two.
SCIENCE TIME! The fading effect you see is called frame tearing. The camera can only film a specific number of frames per second (FPS). Most WCH LED heads produce light at wavelengths that cause most cameras to show a fading effect (tear) due to an uneven wavelength to frame rate ratio. Just like when you film a computer monitor, the refresh rate of the monitor (commonly 60Hz) will likely not match up to the frame rate of the camera (usually 50FPS), so the screen will appear to flicker (another form of frame tearing). Now, if the video was to be filmed at true 60FPS, the chances of experiencing this frame tear phenomenon decrease dramatically because the camera is more likely to cleanly capture the light waves.
Great video & crossing!
Thanks!
Great video! I think the light setup on the other signal is rather cool! I'm sure it had incandescents back then.
Thanks! It still had its original US&S 8 inch lights up until about 2014/2015, IIRC.

Thanks!
freebrickproductions I believe the signal maintainer fixed it the day after!
Very nice crossing and catch!
Thanks!
Nice catch and crossing!

Nice video in Alabama freight train keep up the good work friend bless you

Nice! Got any pictures of them?
Nice catch!
Thanks!
@@freebrickproductions you're welcome!

Awesome Catch!
Thanks!
Nice, a 1930s relic I assume.
Probably 50s, if I had to guess. Thanks!
Are the lights fading in real life or is that a thing that cameras do with LED lights?
The latter.
@@freebrickproductions what do you mean?
