Nice catch, and I’m happy to know that the bells are working again. if they do end up rehabbing this bridge, hopefully they will also refurbish the signals and make them look new again but they’re still the old signals and the gates, it’s much cheaper by the way if they did that instead of buying brand new signals.
Well they need to get a new set of lights for that right signal so I suspect they get a new one for the left. Not sure if they'll solider on with the motor bells or get some WCH bells instead.
I mean this is right by Ogilvie TC and Canal Street. It sounded like an F59 so it could be either UP or Milwaukee/NCS lines honestly. For any reasons like maintenance, trespasser, horn orders, etc
@@RaisedLetter normally the vertical resistance gate (it's the one with the cables running across and the red and white reflective tape in short vertical sections along it, along with the flashing red lamps) goes down just before the bridge opens... I'm just wondering why it didn't in that case.
@@RaisedLetter if you look right above the two horizontal traffic signals, you'll see it. It's definitely there although it appears to be in a state of disrepair.
@@WillWatchAnything it really would be nice if those pedestrian signals were integrated with the drawbridge signals. But it would hardly matter since the department of transportation blocks the road with cars anyway.
0:54 That was funny!

Train horn at 3:11. Any clue what crossing the train was blowing its horn for that's nearby this bridge?

Is there a reason those traffic signals weren't interlocked with the bridge controls?
Chicago is lazy
Why didn't the resistance gantry come down after the barriers?
I don't know what you mean by that

@@davidpedersen1757 I don't even think these have it

I am amazed at how all of this equipment has stood the test of time. They should keep it or refurbish it as memorabilia or something.
They really should

Gates go up at the end and the traffic light is red anyway

Sounds like an electrical issue who knows
