WEll this might be off Topic, but still rather interesting. it too is about Ralroad crossings. Couteaux du lac crossing.. used to be brutal. Absolutely terrible. old Grandfathered crossing lights... junkie things they were.. It finally hit the town that they needed to do somehting. They were replaced top of the line gates and everything.. more lights then you can shake a stick at. I know your thinking.. how is this interesting.. this happens every day.. well heres the cool part.. the old RR crossing lights Were moved 250 meters BACK from the tracks, the RED lens taken out and replaced with YELLOW lens, the X at the top was removed and replaced with a yellow one, with black lettering saying TRAIN NEAR... WHEN FLASHING. LAst year they uped the system even mopre, when they timed the "Warning Railraod lights" to the block signaling system. as soon as the block signal signals would light up (just after the corssing, indicating a train is in the block somewhere.. the yellow warning lights woudl start.) This ofcourse sparked complaints from the neighbors because the bell was loud and ringing 5 minutes before the train passed through the corssing.. but the vast majority of them Thought this was a great, excellent idea.. So whats that missouri.. a 5-10 minute warning without the barriers even going down!! and then ofcourse 30 secondes before the train comes through the red ones, or "Regular warning devices" start, just like regular.
