As a retired signal maintainer, I can tell you this is a very common and expensive problem. The gates usually get destroyed. Nice of the fellow to move this one.
These big trucking companies should speak to their drivers if they damage railroad crossing gates. Most of all, they should make their drivers pay for the damage that they had done to the gates.
Not the truck drivers fault. He was past the stop line when the signals activated. The gates did not hold for the required time. In my area, gates hold for at least 5 seconds. The driver had no way of stopping in that time. If he slammed on the brakes, he would have still hit the gate.
How is it not the truck drivers fault, he still should have stopped when the lights turned on even if the gate hit the truck he should have waited for the gate to go back up
Nate's Trains I know the gate lowers too early but you should always expect it for high speed trains, but also like you said it's not the drivers fault but it is
Here we go. I have to explain again. The lights activated when the truck was in the intersection. It is quite possible he didn't even see the lights when they came on, because he was so close. Stopping a truck with less than 15 feet is pretty much impossible. If he were to back up, he would risk hitting other cars, since he was on a curve. It was safest just to drive through.
Gate Lever: GET BACK ON ME GATE. Gate: Stop it, You should get some help. Guy: HEY WHA HAPPENED? Well ill move u gate! Gate: I AM OWNED BY THE CITY! NOW PUTME DOWN!
0:10 the railroad crossing would be like “My gate! Darn you truck!” The other crossing: can't you just pick it up. Railroad Crossing: No because I must stay in my place to keep cars from crossing The other crossing: I'll close the street for you. Railroad Crossing: NO! You can't do that because Metrolinx has a rule that we stay in our places while trains are coming and they have cameras to make sure we're doing our jobs correctly, and if we move while a train is coming, we'll get in trouble, and I'm already on strike 2, and if I move to pick up my gate while is train is coming, I'll get fired! The other crossing: Are you done now? Railroad Crossing: yes. The other crossing: Anyway the train is already here so I guess you can't move. Railroad Crossing: Well no but now the train has passed... OMG thank you so much for getting my gate! The Guy: NP Railroad Crossing: Yay I won't be getting fired! Metrolinx: Thank You for everything you've done here but business has slowed down and you got to go now bye bye! Railroad Crossing: D:
As an NTSB investigator, ...sorry Charlie, the truck was moving before the equipment, gate arms did not hold for the required 15 seconds, and the train itself was speeding and overran the time settings on the grade crossing. Railroad eats the cost for failing to maintain equipment
The gate on the railroad crossing is knocked off. The driver must be careful for it or face the consequences for something like this. However, the lights still work, even if the gate is knocked off. The screws are loosening.
Even if he was at fault, the 3 screws needed to reinstall the gate are probably a few cents each. Despite that, he indeed is not at fault. The crossing doesn't confirm to FRA standards.
Don’t see how you figure that one. Crossing looks 100% within FRA standards. Minimum 20 seconds of warning time. The gate caught the top of the trailer which is extremely common. End of the day it’s broke, an XH is placed, slowing trains down and keeping gates down longer due to warning times and train speed, until a maintainer gets out there and rehangs it
Also, if the truck stops at the middle of the tracks, then the truck would get collided with Metrolink. So the truck driver has no choice but to damage the crossing gate since he turns right and remember, driving this kind of truck is very risky.
The wire wasn't pulled off, But if it was it still won't turn off the whole crossing as the volts aren't high to the point it would kill you to touch it.
When the bell started the truck was already fouling the 5' track clearance. I think the driver did the right thing. Would have been more dangerous to stop and try to back up in a turn.. gate came down too fast? I thought they have a few second pause from time of the bell to the crossing arms dropping?
Marti Hill that is not an excuse to break railroad crossing gates with a truck if you can't learn to stop for the flashing red lights with any vehicle then you should n't be driving.
Stephen Sullivan the truck cleared easily and there was no accident. Driver did the right thing.. RR can deal with their malfunctioning timer and broken gate.
@@martihill3611 like I said that is not an excuse to break railroad crossing gates when the flashing red lights are on you must stop if you can't learn to do that then you should n't be driving.
Turn this one over to railroad and FRA. Date and time combined with trucking company name and the truck numbers are all that's needed to track them down. Don't need the actual license number on the truck. Could have been way worse if arm went onto the track!
AZTrainGranny first I was very surprised how he picked the gate up like that those gates are very heavy I picked one up recently and I thought the gates were lighter since their aluminum I was wrong. yes I completely agree plus the company would be getting another fine from the police for going though the crossing wean lights are activated.
Gates closed way too fast, lights started flashing after the truck already entered the crossing and he had no choice but to clear it. Of course he shouldn't have ran off but still not the truck's fault.
How is it not the truck drivers fault, he still should have stopped when the lights turned on even if the gate hit the truck he should have waited for the gate to go back up
TrainKnight If you actually look at the video you can see that the truck passed the stop line before the lights started flashing, he should not have stopped or attempted to stop
TrainKnight did you not read what I said, he was already in the crossing when the lights started flashing... you have to legally clear the crossing in this situation.
@@ernestpassaro9663 by the time the crossing was going he really couldn’t stop. Trucks are similar with trains in that even with low speeds they don’t just stop on a dime. If he stopped, the rig itself would definitely have been on the tracks. Then you’d be calling him an idiot for not just driving through.
@@RaisedLetter I know been driving tractor trailers since 1986 when he seen the lights flashing he never should have made the turn he put himself in that situation !
It was his he very clearly solved the crossing dates going down and knowing he was coming from that direction saw it coming when you’re turning like that you still have to stop even if you’re turned like that
It’s still attached with a wire providing a power end it does not turn off due to a breaker there is a breaker but it doesn’t turn it off because in this case it still needs to tell drivers there is a train coming
There is no breaker. The gate wires are 3 wires inside of conduit. Inside the gate mech they are split, eyed, and landed on individual terminals. Simple answer is the gate wire didn’t get broke or ripped out of the first light. Had it of broke or been ripped out, the gate would of gone dark but the mast lights would of continued to flash.
Blue shirt:I gonna catch up to him. Hey you might not want to hear this but you taken down a railroad crossing arm. They will give you the ticket in the mail....if they don't find you first for running a traffic light and destruction to crossing arm. Trucker: Huh? What u say all for?
