Canada - Same type of thing, up here it's known as the "Grandfather claus" <br /> <br />The crossing that goes through town- had eblls and lights installed in 1961. under the laws of that day.. that was all there were. Sure their junky, go off when they shouldn't and coast more in maintnance then you can shake a stick at. <br /> <br />If i took a bulldoezer, and demolished the lights and the control box at that crossing-- demolished it into peices no bigger then sahrds.. a law says <br /> <br />A) if a crossing at one point had lights, and were demolished sue to vandilisim or nay sort of violent act.. they are to be replaced with THE SAME type tof system, however it must be up to code. In english - I buldozed the crossing with my make belive bulldozer, no one is allowed to say.. oh well we didn't really need them anywas, let's put a wooden poll with an X on the top of it.. can't do that. it must be same type of signaling, that follows the code of that day. <br /> <br />sometime in the 1980's All railroad crossings IN canada were froced to put Gates at crossings where <br />-There was more then one track. <br />that was the only reason. Some places have 60 trains go by in one day. on a single track at speeds up to 70 MPh and there aren't any gates.. jsut lights and bells.. Right or not.. c'est la vie. <br /> <br />Here missouri goes with his trash again about blah blah this.. and all that junk... this guy si relentless. <br /> <br />Kev.
