Hello, I am The Central Texas Railfan, or Porter if you prefer. On this channel, you will find high-quality videos of grade crossings and trains! I strive to bring the best quality videos from all around the United States. So far, I've filmed videos in about half of the US states as well as in Italy and Canada. New videos will come out 4-5 times per week, with shorts coming out periodically.
I learned that there are Absolute signals and Intermediate Signals. Intermediate signals are identified by a number board. A Red Signal with no Number board is an Absolute Signal, meaning it’s a Stop Signal. However, a Red signal with a number Board is an Intermediate signal, which means it’s a Restricted Proceed, and restricted Proceed is Proceed at restricted speed Also, Restricted speed is not an actual speed, but a condition, which is stoping at half the range of vision. I have been taking railroad training classes, and yes I do know allot about signals.
I’ve lived in Columbus since 1995 and never knew the Columbus Sub was considered “lightly traveled.” Isn’t that the mainline to Bellview? I would think it is very busy moving coal and intermodal from Portsmouth and Rickenbacker to all points North. Very much looking forward to your reply. Awesome video!
The railroad crossings of both 95th Street and Cicero Avenue in Oak Lawn, Illinois keeps malfunctioning almost every month and Metra crews have to repair them ASAP. It happens quite a lot of times.
I from Germany aka Europe has a question dont you have like warning signals that warn the train driver if crossing dont work since we have that in europe for every crossing with warn lights and barriers
What was the odd single light that pointed both ways down the track from the back the crossing signals at about 10:00 minutes? They stopped when the signals were on for a while then started to flash again when the gates went up.
You know what’s funny we put one of those in our backyard because our neighborhood doesn’t have a siren in it and it’s hard to hear the sirens so I put one in my backyard
