Train Meet Gate Runners & Malfunction at Railroad Crossing
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 жов 2024
- On 2/27/2022, I witnessed a Tri Rail train meet along with several gate runners and a possible malfunction at the Johnson Street Railroad Crossing in Hollywood, Florida in Broward County. This is one block North of the Amtrak Station and this railway crossing sports quad gates which are maintained by the SFRTA South Florida Regional Transportation Authority which CSX sold to them in 1991. These train tracks run parallel to I-95 up until West Palm Beach then go curve West and eventually North.

hi railroad archeologist and congrats on another great video. Looks like nice weather, too.
Howdy Sue! YEs, the weather is starting to look summerish already. We had a few days in the 50s and 60s, but l can imagine it's nothing like what you guys had/have. Thanks as always for the views and comments!
Nice live action Roly! Yes some would consider it gate malfunction, but traffic could get really crazy if gates didn't open if train delayed in station. I assume there is a default built-in to cause this "malfunction". The wise historian/archeologist was there at right time, perhaps even planned for our benefit! Always enjoy your posts and usually learn something along the way. Thanks Roly!!
You have a way with words my friend. Sometimes you just happen to be at the right place at the right time. Thanks as always for the views and comments, Duane!
Nice to see a railroad in service 👍
I agree! Thanks as always for the views and comments, TB
Awesome video again.
Thanks as always for the views and comments, Celio
Train meets are always fun!
Great minds think alike! Thanks as always for the views and comments, Glenn
Awesome video a train meet sweet and awesome gate runners and the guy on the bike 2 stroke keep up the awesome content
Great Video
Very cool catch! You got a 2 for one special. 😀
In my state (Southern California) our local commuter trains are called Metrolink. The passenger cars look just like tri-rails but with different decals. Search them up on UA-cam.
Hello Roly, Danny and I are both sitting here at the kitchen table. Happy Thursday.
That is refreshing to hear. More people should do that nowadays. Hope you had a great week. Thanks as always for the views and comments, Sarah!
@@railrol82 Same to you. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Way to go nice to see active rails with a couple of trains
The Railroad Archeologist is on the scene!!
Guilty as charged Tony! I hope all is well with you and thanks as always for the support.
Very nice video my brother
Thanks as always for the views and comments, Douglas!
I miss riding on Tri-rail. We don't have anything like this here in Atlanta currently.
Oh wow, that is surprising to hear. I would've thought such a big city had a plethora of passenger trains. Thanks as always for the views and comments, Wes!
Great video. Nice area. That wasn't exactly s malfunction. The gates will rise if a train is sitting at a station for a while. Those cars have a nice design going through the crossing. Have a nice day 😊🌈
Nice train meet of the Tri Rail trains. Too bad the trains were not closer to your location for a better view of the meet. That is an interesting railroad crossing with the quad-gates to prevent people from going around the gates at the crossing. I presume that the quad-gate set-up is necessary because the crossing is so close to the station. The gate runners must have had hot dates because they could not wait for the gates to come down and for the train to go pass.
On this particular line, quad gates dominate the landscape. Apparently South FL Regional Transportation Authority, who owns and maintains the line is big on safety. Thanks as always for the views and comments, Thomas
Nice catches
Glad to see the Tri Rail trains, one of those lines you knew exists but hardly ever see. I think because of the panel on the grade crossing poles there isn't enough room to put the small sidewalk gate. The nerve of that person disrupting your photo shoot. A half cylinder bike puttering away. Probably in a hurry to get to the market for a voodoo chicken.
LOL @ The nerve of that guy and market for a voodoo chicken! People just don't have any consideration these days, specially in S FL. Thanks as always for the views and comments, Paul. Hope all is well.
Nice video like 🙂👍👍🇨🇿
Thanks as always for the views and comments, my friend!
@@railrol82 you're welcome 🙂
Érdekes videó lett!😀 Nyomtam egy like!👍 A vonat mért nem adott ki hang jelzést?🤔
Helyes, nincs hang. Ez egy csendes terület, ahol a vonatok nem fütyülhetnek
@@railrol82 Értem, köszönöm.
Thanks Railrol! It is amazing that Broward and Palm Beach Counties are far more serious about rail service than Miami Dade County, but then again, why should that be a surprise? There is serious talk about a light rail line for Ft Lauderdale and Broward got the Intermodal Container Transfer Facility that SHOULD have been in Miami Dade County but was shot down! Broward also is promoting the little used Pompano Beach line as a Connector between FEC and CSX for passenger service! Palm Beach rebuilt its Northwoods connection and added a new line to it while not abandoning the other connection it already had! Contrast this to Miami Dade County, which stands ready to tear out the southern 12 miles of the CSX S Line and is steadfast in its promotion of busways instead of rail no matter what! Add to this the tearing up of the Ludlam corridor (Little River Branch) and the ex FEC main line from Dadeland to Florida City, and the fact that Brightline, with help from FEC, is responsible for the improvement of rail service in the county and not the local or state government! And certainly not CSX, who hasn’t seen a branch line that to them is wasted expense because it’s not profitable enough! This class one’s leadership is terrible! They would rather see a line ripped up than sell it to a short line or someone else who would make a go of it and at least try to get more customers and businesses to use it, thereby giving them MORE business! In my opinion, formed by a public education, and self study, the only thing that will save the southern S Line or get the FEC line from Oleander to Florida City restored is a MAJOR freight customer! Neither line will be rebuilt for passenger service or preserved with the current politicians in charge, given that they are beholden to the highway and trail lobbyists! The busway is a TRAVESTY AND A TOTAL FAILURE, as I and others have said before! The politicians will NEVER admit what we can plainly see with our own eyes! That would prove us railfans correct in what we have always said! I wouldn’t be surprised if the southern part of the S Line is removed soon in order to build the southern extension of highway SR 874 or yet another busway! I hate saying this, but it unfortunately is far more possible than anything good in South Miami Dade County!
Morning all!
My main man, Don... I hope all is well with you sir!
2 tri rail meeting 🤝? Very unusual.
Yes sir, I was at the right place at the right time!
The sheer number of fatal crashes in FL with the Bright line shows exactly why we MUST have a separate high speed rail system with absolutely no grade crossings
Cool
Thanks as always for the views and comments, my friend!
I’ve seen crossings malfunction before like that, it went up but then it went down again when the train is still stopped. Plus, Ive seen a car who sped pass the crossing when the gate is literally down already, plus, the M bell in heller lumber for Union Pacific is replaced by an e bell…. 😢😢
That was a great catch railrol people are going to risk their lives like that if they pass the gates
saw video that made the news were car gose around gate after first fright train clears but was hit by second train sad to see
I wonder when TriRail will access downtown Miami? What’s the holdup?
You must have luck like me because I also got a 2 for 1.
Yes, it's all about being at the right place at the right time!
That railline strictly Passenger Train Service or does Freight run on it too?
Yes, there are Amtraks and CSX here. Thanks as always for the views and comments, JB
Good catch on the 2 trains. I don't know about you but it irritates me when the gates go down and we wait, and wait, and wait, and then after a minute or more the train finally comes. What kind of morons program these devices. Enough of my rant for today. Have a good week. 👍🚂
gates are likely programed by the same people who do traffic lights. It's all about the distance at the posted speed limit. If the train is not doing the posted limit on time then it screws things up.
You bring up some interesting points, gentlemen! Thanks as always for the views and comment!
I love to ride those tri rail lines in Florida how about you railroll 82!
I've only ridden them once. My dream is to ride an Amtrak though! Thanks as always for the views and comments, Peter!
🌺🌹🇮🇳🌺🌹
Nice Video
Thanks as always for the views and comments, Taslim
Isn't there a switch in the cab of the locomotive that disconnects the wheels circuit so the gates will not activate ?
I wish we had better rail service in the Lake Wales area.
Is that Sunrail territory?
@@railrol82 No. SunRail stops to the southwest of the Amtrack Station in Kissimmee. It is still in the Kissimmee area.
We get the odd freight train in Lake Wales. Few and far between. Nothing regular.
Most everything is west of Lake Wales Not terribly far away but for us, it's a lot of traffic.
We have a few old depots and museums in our area. Some really good ones.
That was cool, a 2 in 1 video i mean.
Hi Roly: nice to see some activity usually we only visit crossing’s or spurs that are long gone and declared dead. Good video thank you.
Long time no talk my friend. Hope you are doing well. Thanks as always for the views and comments, Ed!
You did this in Hollywood? That is where a majority of movies are created.
movies are done in Hollywood California. This is Florida.
Correct
Nice, I don't run gates. 100+ ton locomotive slamming into my 4 Runner at 50 mph does not sound like a good time.
I like your logic, Mike. Unfortunately common sense is not a flower that grows in everyone's garden. Thanks as always for the views and comments!
I think it's amusing that signs are put up telling drivers not to stop on the tracks. Like a normal person would? 🤔
You would be surprised I seen morons stopped on the track !
@@ernestpassaro9663 especially in rush hour traffic
Perfect excuse for the trail lovers!
Thanks as always for the views and comments, gentlemen!
No chicken bones!
That's mostly a Miami thing. Thanks as always for the views and comments, VDM!
It is amazing how ignorant drivers are in and near miami when I drive down there a few times a year. I am sure at this point you are used to it but it is such a difference between where you are and here in virginia.
You know your in miami when you hit close to the end of 95 and everyone is doing 92 in a 60.
🙂👍
Thanks as always for the views and comments, Hans
