Hi everyone! If you're interested, I've posted an update video on this railroad crossing where you can find out whether or not the smacking crossing gate has been fixed. If you'd like to check it out, please click this link: ua-cam.com/video/1vkGqhu64gw/v-deo.html.
Also, as of early April 2020, this crossing is now open. The "road closed" sign was removed and a "private railroad crossing" sign was installed on the metal fence right in front of the crossing. Although these changes aren't visible in the update video, I was able to revisit this crossing on April 7, 2020 and film here again where I noticed the changes took place.
I saw it btw its Joe John aka dadofbigtimerobo on another account

0:12 perfect timing of train horn when it hits the ground
Indeed, XD.
when I have to do home work
Lol, I get that feeling
Shame here even though I rarely get home work I only get it if I don't finish something in class
I just discovered my old comment...
Me to so true
Me to
0:12 YOU FOOL CROSSING!
Lol.
Things that make this an awesome video:
Awesome environment
Awesome / Hilarious gate malfunction
Awesome meet
Awesome reversing action
I appreciate the comment, thanks!
Lots of "awesomes" 😂
It's been awhile since I've seen this video. I loved how there was no freight cars on either train lol. The gate has probably set a world record on the fastest gate coming down and hit the ground about as hard as a bowling ball getting a strike.
I appreciate the comment and thoughts! Lol, yes, this is probably the fastest gate I've seen drop down like that.
Train: “First day on the job, huh?”
Gate: “Hey, shut up! I got nervous, OK?!”
XD, this is a really good joke!
Lmao
LOL Gate's probably wondering why the road's closed, and why there are just light power moves! "WHAT?! I was expecting something else! This is nuts!"
Lol, thanks for the comment!
I see this is the end of the road. But if a person drives in the opposite direction, will they see a sign that says beginning?
+speedlearner It is, lol just imagine unfortunately there is no "beginning" sign.
Liked- nice view of the meet. I have never seen a crossing gate do that!
***** Thanks! This is the only gate I've seen do that also! :)
Interesting to see a Union Pacific crossing with incandescent lights still.
***** Thanks for watching and commenting! Yes it is interesting to see these! :)
freebrickproductions I agree with you.
Now look at this gate! That I just got!
When I say go down, be ready to go down!
GO DOWN!
*Gate hits the ground*
DONT HIT THE GROUND!!!
Lol XD

@@NorthernMexicanGammer Hi. Sorry for not replying sooner. I did not get a notification of your comment. Are you saying that there is a guy making bad videos about me?
This video is how i found your channel. This video has gotten viral!
Oh, I see! Yes, this was unexpected!
GIVE ME MY OWN DAMN ROAD!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lol
This video is getting close to the Gold Play Button! Lol
Lol.
This is awesome small film of the local area. It's a piece of fine art
Thanks for sharing your feedback!
A very detailed representation of youtube popularity in 17 years
PS This also reminds me when another e bell was on some very weird substance making some strange sound until it was forced to be sober by the UP it has been sober ever since search "Railroad crossing e bell fail." if you find it you will know what I mean by on a substance....
@@HOwNOTthink Very funny comment, thanks for sharing it! I'll take a look at that video you mentioned.
That did hit the ground hard
It sure did, lol.
Why are there railroad crossing at a dead end
Honestly, I have no idea, lol.
1 million views! The Gold Play Button for this video is here!
Yay! Thanks so much for your (and everyone else's) support!

@@SamuelPurdySP I appreciate it, thank you!
That's how mad a RxR can be!!!
Yes, indeed, lol
Why is the road closed here.
Honestly, I have no idea why they closed it.
0:12 my life:
Lol, but why do you say that?
Is abandoned railroad crossings?
The crossing itself is fully functional and activates whenever a train passes by. The road that goes through the crossing though is closed.
It always makes me nervous when two trains pass closely. They always make it though. :)
I enjoyed the video and subbed.
+Gayle Crabtree Lol, true Indeed! Thanks for subbing, I subbed back.
+Erik Alfaro Productions You officially just made my day! Thank you.
Kismet didn't make it, that's one thing that happened with 2 trains.
Reminds me of the ho scale Bachmann automatic crossing
Interesting, thanks for sharing!
Lmao💜
SHUT UP
@@creeper_countryball2015 Hey hey! Calm down man lol, someone piss in your cereal bowl today?
@@amtrakisveryepic4169 yeah that happened he ate too many milkshakes that previous night
Wait, why is the road closed? That crossing looks like it has good protection, but that gate, it needs to be fixed!
I have no idea why the road is closed maybe they made it private or something. That gate should be fixed but they haven't until now! :)
New Zealand has WCH e-bells and they used to use the original ring pace for a long time, but they’re now as slow as what you can hear on tis video
Oh wow, thanks for sharing that information!
The smack of the gate hitting the ground is in line with the train horn lol. They sound at the same time, like in unity lol
You're right, good observation!
Nice video showing the broken gate mechanism!
Thanks!
Ur welcome!
Did they close this crossing?
+superbnsf1 Although the road to this crossing is closed, the crossing was never taken down. In fact the last time I checked, they fixed the gate!
+Erik Alfaro Productions oh, ok. You should do another video of the crossing. :)
I am definitely trying to, just need to be there at the right moment. :)
Really enjoyed watching your lovely video. Really hope you are well and having a great Friday. Many thanks from Chris and Jane 👍👍👍👍
Thank you very much for the comment! Have a great week!
This is at the marathon refinery off alameda & the PCH right?
Yes, correct.
Damn! Thats funny. Great Video. :-)
Thanks! Funny indeed :)
Amazing. I recorded a gate hitting a car, and the ground. But NOWHERE near this hard.
Thanks! Yeah, this gate did smack the ground hard, that's interesting that you also caught a gate hitting the ground and a car.
That is really weird and cool at the same time!!!!! Kind of reminds me of a gate that I saw that went down really fast but slowed down dramatically before it hit the ground
LoadsofTrains Thanks! Interesting information. I bet it looked like it was going to slam the ground but then slowed. Can you please subscribe back? Thanks!
0:10
The barrier is dead.
Lol
Why is the road closed?
Honestly, I have no idea. I wish I knew.
@@ErikAlfaroProductionsOfficial It was closed in 2015, so maybe it should be open by now.
@@SamTheRailfanner I thought that road would indeed reopen after being closed for a considerable amount of time, but as of currently it has yet to be reopened.
Nice Catch Erik! and is it Rare to see a Shortline engine on Mainlines
Thanks! In my area, seeing the Pacific Harbor Line shortline trains on mainlines is pretty common since the company doesn't own a lot of tracks. But I'd imagine it's rare in your area. Thanks again for the comment!
No wonder why the road is closed
Lol, maybe that's why it is closed.
When it hit the ground so hard the horn went on it made the train horn went on
*Gate uses Ground Pound!*
*IT'S SUPER EFFECTIVE!*
Lol, yeah!
This is even faster then the mechanism in 2nd Ave in Sacramento it use to do
+RRYoshi789 productions It sure is!
@Erik Alfaro Productions I agree with you too
wow its going crazy! liked the video
+Madcain Ninja Thanks, yeah!
Whats with the fences around the crossing? Is this crossing being removed?
I'm not sure why this crossing is closed, but it's been like that for quite a while. The crossing is currently still in place, with the lights and gates working normally. The fencing and "road closed" signs are still in place. I do not know of any plans to remove this crossing, but if anything changes I will make an update video on this crossing.
Please could You do an update on that fast gate/barrier?
+Adam Richardson I will try to film a train passing here the next time I am able to visit this place and I'll see if I can get the gate mechanism in action.
+[ Content Deleted ] Could be true.
Two trains on the same track?
No, they weren't on the same track. They were each on different tracks, it's just that the second train used the track right next to the track that the first train used. That's why it probably seemed that both trains were on the same track.
Ok thanks
@@ConnorTheRailfan2306 No problem!
I watched this video since 2017! I still love it!
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it!
LOL. That's one way to start a video. Nice video mate
NBVideos Presents Thanks!
Um what location is this tell me I can’t find on google maps
This crossing is underneath the Pacific Coast Highway bridge in Wilmington, CA. It’s just east of Alameda St.
Yeah them gates need to be closed the way that looks. Great video
Christian Hickman Thanks! I agree they should take down the crossing by the looks of it. Besides the road is closed anyways. :)
Erik Alfaro good them gates will kill someone lol
Yeah if they don't fix it that could happen.
Erik Alfaro good
0:12 Gate hits ground
Yes, that's right
Maybe down snubbing resistor is jumpered out? (Safetran S-40 mechanism).
Perhaps that’s what it was.
You got a SD60M on camera! Last unit on the UP!
Cool, thanks for letting me know!
Gate Calm Down!
Lol
Kid: This is the perfect place to catch a train.
Other Kid (Standing under gate): Yass.
0:12
Kid: THAT MUST'VE HURT, DON'T IT
Lol, nice joke!
wat is the location of this crossing?
This crossing is located under the Pacific Coast Highway overpass in Wilmington, CA.
Gate: I HATE YOU GROUND!
*Hits the ground*
Ground: *Sad ground noises*
Lol, nice joke!
@@ErikAlfaroProductionsOfficial Thanks!
Train: whats wrong?
The union Pacific cannot talk in the ground can't make a sad sound
i feel bad for that crossing gate! like if you agree.
Lol, I agree!
0:12 Gate to concrete...SMACK!!!!
Lol, good one!
0:12 the train seems to horn when the gate hit the road :D
Yeah, the timing was quite good. :)
Great Catch! Imagine if someone was under it lol. Great meet also!
Railfan Cali UPRR Thanks! Just imagine Millenniumforce getting hit by that gate! :)
Erik Alfaro He would make it really funny.
***** Lol, thanks. I will watch them tomorrow because its late here and I was really busy today.
***** Cool, I'll give it a try
***** Cool
That block and white SD40-2 looks so interesting...
Thanks for the comment
WOW, super amazing!!!
get the most crowded railroad crossings in Indonesia.
Thanks! I've heard that railroad crossings in Indonesia are indeed crowded and I've seen a few images and videos about them.
That crossing gate and the gated signal needs to be fixed immediately
I believe they have been fixed, I just haven't gotten the chance to stop by this crossing to check.
@@ErikAlfaroProductionsOfficial okay I was just curious that concrete and asphalt is pretty tough so I'm surprised that gate did not break when it hit it
@@austinmiller3497 Same here, I thought the gate would get damaged in some way.
Same here I have some videos on my UA-cam channel if you want to check them out sometime including a pretty rare Providence and Worcester engine P&W #2216 yesterday I saw it go by my house and heading towards the yard in Newark Ohio there is a train yard right by my house where I live A 5 track train year that used to be only a one-track train yard years ago
@@austinmiller3497 Cool! I'll check out your channel sometime soon.
0:12 Perfect timing. When the crossing smacked its self, the train blasted the horn. So that means the crossing pushed the horn button.
Lol, yep
Impressive video presentation, brother!
Thank you!
I laughed too damn hard at that gate hitting the ground, and the resulting smack... 😂😂😂😂
Lol, thanks for sharing your reaction!
@@ErikAlfaroProductionsOfficial at 0:12 or so the train horn was perfectly timed (COMPLETELY coincidentally) where I had trouble knowing if it was a train horn, or the smack of the gate hitting the ground echoing. 😂
@@DanknDerpyGamer Lol, crazy how that worked out! XD
Nice meet! the crossing gate tho LMAO
Thanks! That crossing gate sure hit the ground hard, lol.
How did they do that?
Alex Floyd I think that the thing that holds the gate's arm is broken so it just let's the gate fall. It only picks it up gently.
Erik Alfaro cool! You know I make more then train videos, I would love it if you see my lawn care videos too, And my other non-railroad videos
That's nice I'll check out the one where you clean the pool after I get home from school.
Erik Alfaro I get off in 40 minnits.
I get off in 4 hours (Pacific Time).
Nice train and amazing video!!!!!! Big like from Romania!!!!!!
Thanks!
Wow this is great video, million views
Thanks for your visit and support!
*YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!*
XD
DIND DING DING DING DING! BONK!
Lol.
0:12 lol. I like when the gate smacks the ground at the exact time engineer blows the horn
Haha, I like how that works out too.
That smack looked painful af, even though the crossing gate has no nerve endings
Lol, yep!
Awesome!
Thanks!
This got me dead 💀😂😂😂😭😂
Lol
@@ErikAlfaroProductionsOfficial DONT WRITE LOL ITS SO DEAD
@@sqlmrq_ Sorry about that bothering you. I will only write that for those that don't seem bothered by it (since I have friends here on UA-cam that are ok with it). But when responding to your comments and others who don't like "Lol", I will respond with something else.
@@ErikAlfaroProductionsOfficial idk but that seems dead. Lots of laught...
I dont think so
@@sqlmrq_ Oh, I've always read it as "laugh out loud". I didn't know that "Lol" could be interpreted as "lots of laughter".
Gate: I wanna get some diamond
Train: gate you want some diamond?
Gate: smacks ground
Train: whoa whoa calm down gate
XD
What’s up with the gate lights on the other side
Those gate lights weren't working correctly. They were all flashing on and off at the same time.
@@ErikAlfaroProductionsOfficial OK one gate has gate lights that don’t function properly and one gate Smacks the Ground very hard that’s probably why the road is closed
@@odinconnor-randomvideos5267 That very well could have been the case.
they got to fix this gate before it breaks really they do
Agreed, I think the gate has been fixed, I need to go check on the crossing again to make sure.
+Erik Alfaro Productions Ok
tell me if it is Ok
Hunter Duncan I'll let you know if it is once I check it
Hunter Duncan
Nice video, man!
Josh's Aquatics & Railroad Videos Thanks! :) That gate sure smacked the ground hard huh?
Yep!
The same thing happened here a while back.
Yeah did you ever get to film that?
Nah. They had a guy out to lift the gate back up after every train! lol
Where is this crossing at?
It’s located in Wilmington, CA. It’s under the Pacific Coast Highway overpass, east of Alameda St.
It was great timing when the road gate goes down when the train horn started the second time when the train horn honked it looked like the railroad crossing was pulling a horn
Lol, yeah that was very timely.
@@ErikAlfaroProductionsOfficial i know right
@@BNSF2012 Yes
the crossing gate smacking the ground hard
sue!
Lol
That is really funny! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Glad you enjoyed!
That railroad crossing arm got mad and smacked the concrete
Lol, definitely!
Bunsen: People who are disliking this are gonna get hit by that crossing gate.
Lol.
Wow thats one of the worst ones ive ever seen. Worse than 2nd Ave and Fruitridge rd in sacramento. And Derrick St in Alabama
Wow, fortunately this gate has been fixed.
what st is that crossing near
It's close to Alameda St and Pacific Coast Highway.
0:12 when you get banned from roblox
Lol! But in seriousness, did you actually get banned from Roblox?
Erik Alfaro Productions No I’m not banned from roblox
@@RichardArtsElitePictures Oh ok, glad to hear that.
The reason why this Railroad Crossing is closed because it's not in use anymore. I promise this crossing shall get taken down or just remain there.
Signed, Matthew aka That Yoshi with the Blue Helmet.
I guess you're right. Thanks!
New Sub from Derail Darrell - yeah that gate smacked hard. Looks like the gate motor needs replaced. - Jason
Thanks for the kind sub! I subbed back.
Yeah, the gate arm was definitely the problem, it has been repaired and currently works good.
someone needs to fix that gate pronto
Indeed, I believe it's fixed now.
Hey that western Cullen Hayes e bell is the same speed as the one in Santa Fe springs in 2017 lol but it’s dead rip bell I loved that bell
@@TexasCarWashChannel626 Sorry for not replying sooner. UA-cam didn't notify me of your comment. Cool story and thanks for sharing it.
Fantasic video ! Thumbs up 👍 I will watch your next video 😊
I Subscribe your channel ❗️
Thanks! I subbed back. :)
When a Railraod crossing gate does that it means something on it is broken or Either that it needs a new Bulb
Thanks for watching! It was actually the gate motor box that was broken - this has since been fixed.
Erik Alfaro Productions Did They Remove the Gate After They Fixed it
No, they left the gate on.
well if they fixed the railroad crossings they should of just removed it so the cars can come by
I agree, but for whatever reason the city has maintained the crossing closed. I have no idea why, but if this crossing were open, cars would be able to access the parking lot located on the other side of the tracks.
no away for the live?
I don't think I understood the question, could you clarify?
Very interesting video! I subbed back! My hubby drives trains :).
Thank you! Cool!
Ciao! :) Iscritto. Like n°24. Very good!
+Marcello Bigongiali Thank you!
