In the US, a lot of crossings in rural areas are just a crossbuck and some wood between the rails. No gates or warning devices of any kind, except the horn on the locomotive. While there is not a dedicated telephone, there is always a small blue sign with a number to call.
In the US, as I understand, the majority of railways are not fenced as they are in the UK. That's why there are gates or stiles here. Their advice did not include what to do about crossing a railway with a bad-tempered cat on a lead who would not be picked up and carried, but would run across as fast as possible, swearing all the time.
I've actually wondered 'what if our main line railroads in America had gates with phones to the nearest signaler's office for crossings in rural areas?' We've had train collisions with tractors and farm vehicles before, and I wonder (objectively speaking) if these procedures in the UK are able to reduce the risk or frequency of that happening? Keeping in mind of course that many more collisions happen at RR Crossings on busy roads, where these procedures wouldn't be applied.
@@TheArkamedBat I wanna do some fuel economy tests, and one of them is driving from my house to Sudbury which is around 55 miles, in a Prius and in a Peugeot 308 diesel and see what I get.
@@TheArkamedBat In the future, if I can get my hands on one, yes. I also know another UTuber who lives in Sudbury; it’s Auto Social UK (does car reviews within the East Anglia region).
And it's still happening -drivers ignoring the signs.Even had one a few days ago in Newcastle with the Metro -car driver ignored FLASHING RED LIGHTS!!! [No barriers]
He did the one Anglia dispatch and he did a lot. Of. The videos about the 180 such as the safety and the features like a coffee machine or destination boards
That's fine if you're on foot to just look both ways in most cases, but if there's a feature that restricts visibility like a bend or tunnel and when crossing with animals or a slow, lumbering vehicle, you might not be able to cross quickly enough should a train come
The phone should have an identifier painted on it so the caller could just read it off the phone and the dispatcher would know exactly where they are. This is a standard for highway emergency phones in the United States.
At the Signalling Centre/Signalbox the signalman is shown where the incoming call is coming from, also on the inside of the phone identifying information is printed if it is required.

I have a rail line in my backyard and there's no horn blasts as it's a residential area

5000th subscriber!!!!!! Well done mate 👍👍
Good video, but it is a little out of date. It is imperative to call the signaller back after you have closed all gates and are free of the crossing.
Where's Claire the Customer Service Host?
Not here. She’s not necessary here.
And why does that matter to you?
@@DaveDVideoMaker Jesus
Hosting customers on the trains
@@DaveDVideoMaker Oh hello 👋
The YTP of this video is hilarious 😂
Some lovely slam door units
Why am I watching this at 2am?
Listening is gonna be hard when it’s electric
Most of the noise of a train is from the rolling and wind noise, not the propulsion noise
Claire not driving the tractor!!!!????
She’s not a farmer.
She's the customer service host on the train
Fact: Tyreman lives in Suffolk but was born in Leeds.
Wow!
I'll go there as soon as possible.

This is like looking at the Future.

Anyone know this chap? he turns up on railtrack vids a lot
Paul Tyreman. he's a railway video producer
He did the one Anglia dispatch and he did a lot. Of. The videos about the 180 such as the safety and the features like a coffee machine or destination boards
Where's Claire?
@@Sam-bz1hr not sure. I know she's always on the FGW Safety videos and mainly did the 43 when Paul always did the 180
Paul Tyreman once was on Coronation Street in 2006.

Beware of Trains Signs.
Please tell me where in what country is this place located? I'm Japanese and used translation.
England
Yeah always call the signaller first before he decides when it’s safe to cross if there’s a train coming don’t cross the track

I don't have cows, I'm not a farmer, I don't even live in England. Why am I even watching this?
And you even posted a comment to tell everyone
Determined or not, those cows are long dead

Any Brits used to kmh?
Never fuk with your life or anyone else’s.
Being young and having French family I am but many people still haven't adjusted to km
@@DaveDVideoMaker I'm more used to MPH.
Using miles per hour was phased out wasn't it?
@@pauljordan4452 Not in Britain, the US or the non-metric world.
Claire anyone?
Nowhere here. It shouldn’t matter.
@@DaveDVideoMaker Ayo chill out, we love Claire!
Whether you love Claire or not, she doesn’t have to appear in every video with Tyreman.
@@DaveDVideoMaker Can you not tell we're joking...
@@DaveDVideoMaker yes she does
