Technically 1:07 so the rotation life up gate is too wobbly and it needs to be more stabilised because these light a detection by the gate and on the track but the worker that’s doing it is using it manually and if it is too wobbly it may keep going for that shake for a very long time 😅
The first one was funny, but then the second one was annoying with the sound that when the wheel was spinning like that, no offense, and once again great video!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
I have a video inside a working installation on the Union Pacific a signal maintainer let me see it has the newer stuff mixed with relays to it on my channel
It doesn’t actually activate every day, only on the weekends or when I maintain them during the week. The signals usually activate about 6-16 times a week. Sometimes even more.
If you have seen a gate that is down on an S-60 mechanism then it may be caused by a failed hold clear. The S-60 mechanisms do not pump/oscillate for long as the board will detect that something is not right and it will drop the gate. Same goes for a gate not able to go all the way up. The S-60 will know it and will drop back down. The gate after a while will try and go back up to see if the problem is cleared but I have not tested it on a failed hold clear yet, just with an obstructed gate.
S-60 mechanisms cannot drop fast unless the counterweights are completely off. It would have been an S-40 or S-20. The motors simply don’t allow an S-60 to drop fast due to the increased gear reduction. The motor of an S-60 spins way faster than the larger red type S S-20/40 mechanism motors.
It is very hard to tell S-20/40 mechanisms from S-60’s without seeing the inside or if they activate. Even I can’t tell the difference since they use the same outer housing. Just waiting on seeing the new Siemens S-80 mechanism to appear. They came out with it last year and is said to have a smaller mechanism box.
Rs&s thank you for teaching me how to fix railroad crossing malfunction you're the best!
Jeez i think i should visit you! Im a train enthusiast and crossing enthusiast.
keep up the great work rs&s
That is a funny malfunction. Sounds like it's having a seizure
Yeah.
lol yeah
That general siglals sounded like a czech bell until fixing
I have a railroad crossing near me that sounds just like that! the name is the woodrow avenue railroad crossing, in sinking spring PA

That first one was hilarious 🤣
Can you do a gate perspective on this crossing
I sure can. Probably not during museum hours though.
What happens when you unscrew and remove the screw or put the screw all the way in?
It will either not engage at all and cause the gate to shake or will not allow the gate to drop.
Cool video
Very nice!
Cool
You should record the sound of the wch gate without the bells
Great Video
Cool video!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Put LEDs on the wch signal
I wonder when it will be able to hold it on its own
Guess we will never know, this crossing signal has been removed and replaced with a brand new one.
What is the update about the new gate lights
They ended up getting installed on the Wabco signal (soon to be featured).
5:42 whenever the wheel thing stops
New LEDs on the wch signals
If you listen closely the problem deals with a Canadian goose getting stuck in the mechanism you can hear him in the background if you listen closely

That is cool to see the shelf type relays still in use! Thanks for sharing it!
COOOOOOOOOOOOL

I see this video was published on October 19th 2022 my 55th Birthday
How many times a day does that get go up and down

Do S-60s do this also? I haven't seen it happen yet

Ah neat, I've only seen fast drops with S-60s

Ah my mistake

Do you like railroad crossings
I probably wouldn’t be doing what I do if I didn’t.
First
5
lol
it sounds like poop.
No you shouldn’t record
Not my episode
