Midnight Freight at Rowston Level Crossing, Lincolnshire 

Lincolnshire level crossings & trains channel Yeah, we could hear it from quite a distance away before and after it passed the crossing, it was really cool.

Yes

Great video though😉

Haha thanks 😄 Well this was something I've never done before and wanted to experience. Its a very different atmosphere in the middle of the night. I put the stars in as I'm sure not many other people have filmed a crossing at midnight 😂

@@UKLevelCrossingsChannel Yeah, I have never seen a video filmed that late before👍.

Thanks 👍👍

@@UKLevelCrossingsChannel your welcome

It was quite cool actually. Never been out so late before and seen a freight train 😊

Yeah they don't at this crossing, as-well as at other crossings like this in Lincolnshire

Thanks 😁

Thank you 👍

This crossing isn't actually very old, the equipment dates back to 2014. The gates are not wooden but are metal but my camera makes it look like it's wooden 🙂

@@UKLevelCrossingsChannel oh ok

Thank you 👍

nobody gives a crap which is why you didnt have any likes. Perhaps not post when you're high af

Y

Yeah they do. They're certainly quite bright.

Thanks 👍

I use online live timetables like RealTimeTrains and OpenTrainTimes

It's called A TIMETABLE

Thanks! 😁

Thanks! 😁

It's a crossing light camera. At the end of the black rod there is a small camera which points towards the lights. I believe they're used to confirm the crossing lights are working correctly if they're ever monitored.

@@UKLevelCrossingsChannel Ah, you did jog my memory. Appreciate that. :)

Some crossings have lights in sync but a few crossings, especially newer installs, have lights that flash independently from the other. I'm not too sure why

I'm sure the majority of people living beside the railway will get used to the noise over time.

I didn't hear any alarms, or constant honking from the train. It was all quite quiet. It wasn't a loud train either, it just passed through. This isn't the US. we don't need to make a big drama.

Dedication and interest lol

Thanks mate 😁 Yeah it was, looking forward to our next one

@@UKLevelCrossingsChannel When ever that’ll be 😞

Yeah, I know, hopefully not too long now

@@UKLevelCrossingsChannel When you filming AHB???!!! 😂😂😂

Joe Thorpe Haha

Yeah I know haha, although it was quite fun

you're crazy for watching

I apologise, I didn’t know they were that new

@@sophiamitsuda-ashworth5949 I didn’t no

Sam Waddingham They look old but they were actually only installed in 2014 as part of an upgrade here. My camera and the sounds make it look like they're old though so I could understand.

@Alvin Huang The barriers are S60 designs manufactured by Siemens and Invensys. You can see them in the day at Blotoft crossing which I uploaded not long ago

The time before a train arrives depends on the type of crossing in the UK. There are automatic crossings with half barriers and without any barriers which don't involve any signalling, with the train arriving around 30 seconds after the initial sequence begins. The crossing in the video, however, is a full barrier crossing. With these crossings, they must be confirmed clear of any obstructions before the train is allowed to proceed past. As a result, the train is usually a couple of minutes away by the time the crossing is lowered and the signals have been set to proceed. This sort of monitoring prevents trains proceeding over crossings when vehicles have no means of exiting the crossing and tracks. The automatic crossings with or without half barriers allows vehicles to clear the crossing without getting trapped. Hope this helps.

It's called safety, and it is a minute at most. At least we don't need to persistently sound horns and bell ringing for idiots who don't get a train is approaching

Thank you 😊
