Conrail's crossing was malfunctioning...due to lightning taking out a lightning arrester. It was out since Thursday, June 25, 2009...and the batteries were going dead. Seems that everytime I call malfunctions into Conrail...the NS police (dispatch) think it's CN's problem...and send them out first. Well, I called it in initally at 3:07 PM EDT...and they didn't come out until about 9:30 to fix it. The power was back on at 9:50, and it finally was fixed. A southbound NS train came and the signals didn't activate...because of the dead batteries. NS really needs to get in gear or something could happen that they won't like.

I miss coming home everyday and watching the new train videos uploaded from this channel

@videolover2014 7 лет назад

+Jordan The good news is, there are some more videos of these Railroad Crossings in Wyandotte, Ecorse, and Trenton, Michigan. The videos are from +Nick Rink and +Downriver Rail Productions.

@@ifonly97982 Hey! 👋🏻 Haven't talked to you in a long time! Just want to let you know that Downriver Rail Productions unfortunately no longer railfans at the Ecorse, Wyandotte, & Trenton Railroad Crossings, plus as he deleted most of his Videos of the Railroad Crossings & left the ones up on here that only focuses on the Trains & not the Railroad Crossing Signals. Nick Rink still railfans at those Railroad Crossings, as his Main Railroad Crossing that he films at is Harrison Ave. in Trenton, MI, plus he also changed his Username & now goes by Railfan Nick! Alongside, some more Railfanners have joined in, as we now also have Caleb Belcher, Kyle Henry, G.C.R Productions, Joseph trainonthetrack, Royal King of the Rails, etc. railfanning there & whatnot! So, yep! More Railfanners in the Downriver area for those Railroad Crossings!

the crossing lights makes the scene look like a frozen photo. sweet find.

@jakubowski2008 15 лет назад

I'm glad that is not a heavy traveled road. Things would of been a lot worse if that was the case!!!

@owensri2 14 лет назад

@moonwalker5058: Actually, these are General Signals (GS) E-Bells. The have a circuit board with a speaker attached to it, generating the sound. :)

@owensri2 15 лет назад

Well, all that was needed was the power to be restored in the signal case. That fixed the batteries by charging them back up....and fixed all other problems with the middle tracks. The gate lights on the other side were not burnt out...but there's a wiring issue that needs to be fixed. Also, there's that dang cantilever light that needs to be replaced.

@owensri2 15 лет назад

It has a mechanical flasher in that one that's stuck. The outer signals with the gates have the SSCC. This crossing doesn't operate right to begin with....

@DJUnibob 13 лет назад

Very interesting here. The train near 8:30 was going slow enough to stop if the engineer and conductor felt the need to, so dispatch must have given them the heads up on it to do a stop and flag/protect if needed. The conductor also would have noticed the lack of lights on his track and the stuck light on the adjacent track. That does sound like a very serious problem with communication if it took them 6 and half hours to get someone to even look at it.

Conrail is still technically around. They are now known as Conrail Shared Assets, which basically does CSX to NS local transfers.

@owensri2 14 лет назад

Lightning took out an arrester, knocking the AC offline, batteries went dead.

@Steve_Hunts96 15 лет назад

Man what happened to Oak St. many things need to be fixed. 1: e-bell on gated signal is sounding weak. 2: second track needs to have it's battery replaced 3: third track needs some MAJOR REPARES 4: other gated signal has 2 burnt out lights on gate And finally, side lights on third track cantelever looked like it had some low power.

@TboltSiren1000T 13 лет назад

Right after the 2nd train passed, Conrail was coming in.

@owensri2 14 лет назад

@we34w: Actually, I know which track is malfunctioning due to the way they have the crossing set up. The rear lights were off on both of CN's crossings, so I called Conrail, because that's who's crossing was messing up. :)

@thunderturbine8860 4 года назад

If the back lights were active on the outer most tracks, it would've been CN's problem?

@tankbutterball 11 лет назад

Conrail still exist in MI NJ PA. they are shared asset. I have a friend who is works for Conrail.

@Steve_Hunts96 12 лет назад

I believe tracks 1 & 4 belong to CN with GT I think sharing rights to use the tracks & the inside 2 belong to NS & Conrail but i'm not 100% sure. CSX I think uses the tracks too so those 4 tracks are used by multiple railroads.

@oakcreekrailroadproduction3907 11 лет назад

Weirdest malfunction I've ever seen!

@oakcreekrailroadproduction3907 5 лет назад

Also the lights weren’t flashing on ns signals before they died because that power box is connected to both conrail and ns signals

@videolover2014 Год назад

So, could the non-flashing be from as the Southbound NS Signals have died & affected the Northbound NS Signals or could it be that the Flasher Relay was broken down? 🤔

@oakcreekrailroadproduction3907 Год назад

@@videolover2014 the flasher rely was fried due to the massive lightning strike on the lightning arrester

@BBT609 11 лет назад

@owensri2 11 лет назад

No, GT (Grand Trunk Corporation) and Conrail still exist. Look it up.

@owensri2 15 лет назад

Me too. Why would they remove them? That would be an FRA violation to do that.

@videolover2014 2 года назад

The Lights on the East Side Inner Track weren’t flashing at all due to a broken Flasher Relay, whilst the West Side Inner Track has completely died ‘cause it ran for like way too long during the malfunction & it drained out the Battery, explaining why those Signals weren’t going, when the NS Train came by at the near end of the Video, approaching from Ford Ave., heading towards Vinewood Ave., then passing by Oak St. here with the major malfunction & heading down to Pennsylvania Rd..

@we34w 15 лет назад

With 2 railroads like this call both railroads. At the same time.

@Cnw8701 11 лет назад

@NWINWeather 12 лет назад

Looks like those 2 tracks really need some work.

@midnightgameboy 12 лет назад

And when 1 train comes, the gates go down on the two end crossings, right.

@videolover2014 7 лет назад

owensri2, did you know that later, after you moved to another State, the Bells on the 3RD Track (2ND to East Side) were changed to the Electronic Bells and the Gate Mechanism on the 1ST Track (West Side) was changed to the Safetran Gate Mechanism? Edit - Also, later on, the 2ND Track (2ND to West Side) now has the Mechanical Bells, as it's now reversed with the 3RD Track (2ND to East Side) having the Electronic Bells & the 2ND Track (2ND to West Side) having the Mechanical Bells, comparing to this Video here from back then, as before the upgrade, the 3RD Track (2ND to East Side) had the Mechanical Bells while the 2ND Track (2ND to West Side) had the Electronic Bells.

@kevinmiller6324 3 года назад

I've never seen anything like this before; it's weird.

@FranzFerdinandVIII 6 лет назад

@videolover2014 6 лет назад

At least that after he moved to another State, the Gate Mechanism on the West Side to what you were talking about got changed to the Safetran Gate Mechanism, when it got upgraded or so.
