Nice video! This has to be the single fastest gate dropping on a railroad crossings signal I have ever seen! Ive seen plenty of gate smackings in the past but this. This is a whole new level.
Dang RS&S your channel has grown a lot! Now you’re about to hit 10k subscribers?? That’s incredible bro!!! You’ve done so good on your channel! Congratulations man!
Good observation! We have done a follow up video on that already actually but it will not post until next week. The spark is normal as once the gate goes all the way up, the gate up contact will turn off the motor and cause a bigger spark than any other contact. That is because the gate up contact drives a load (the motor) so once the gate goes all the way up it causes that spark you noticed.
There is no one price for a crossing signal as they are comprised of a lot more parts than what most think about. They usually go for $11,000-18,000 per full signal depending on the manufacturer and the style/sophistication of the gate mechanism style. What drives the crossing gate is way more complicated and expensive as even more goes into pricing those.
