They need to put a sign saying no photoshoots on the track

It’s a pedestrian crossing there and people take pics all the time. I have done it, but standing, not sitting. And you can bet your ass we get off the tracks the second we hear the bell start to ding wether taking pictures or crossing!!! These people are just being stupid.

Incorrect. The grade crossing signal system senses train speed and activates crossing signals a minimum of 25 seconds before train arrives. If the train was traveling at 60 mph, the mee-mool lights *(o)T(o)* would activate when the train is 2,200 feet away.

Robert Gift : It is believed that the common way to read TheThomasSproduction's comment should be as elaborated below: If (a) those crossing gates weren't there; and (b) an Amtrak train came around there at speed; [then,] they'd all be dead. The comment is not, and had never been, incorrect.

Oh. I have been on thatrain many times including in the locomotive a few times videoing grade crossing behaviors for my Operation Lifesaver presentations.The sight distance is good enough thathengineer would start blasting the horn if anyone were in foul of the track. They could walk away and be well clear of the track before the train arrived. A train cannot go fast around a sharp curve. Long curves have greater sight distance. The scariest place along this track is ?? where there are two grade crossings a block apart. They are totally blind. If a vehicle were on the track the train would h.it at 79 mph. No time to reduce speed even 1 mph!At one of those crossings, a just-graduated high school student and his girlfriend were killed. He had been drinking and was giving her a piggy-back ride and a thrill. She was trying to get off his back when he failed to step away from the track in time.Christmyth Day a man was killed when he rode his brand new $3,000 mountain bike on a trestle. He tried to ride off the trestle before the train goto him. His buddy pulled his bike to the side and he was not hurt.

@@robertgift IF. He said. Lol

No problem. The mee-mool lights *(o)T(o)* will activate a minimum of 25 seconds before train arrival. Plenty of time to clear away from the track even if the train istill out of sight. Also, the train stops at San Juan Capistrano.

It’s an unmanned station…

@@Guaga_ aside from the fact that my comment is ten years old at this point, it should be noted that there is a staff at the Amtrak depot.

@@AS768 There is staff but they aren’t watching the tracks nor are they in a position or do they care to yell at idiots like that. The staff there just do ticket sales and such.

There idiots a Iil bit they now what the rr crossing means.

Yeah since you’re a snitch ass foo. Let them be

True, but then again not standing on active train tracks just to take a photo, while a train is OBVIOUSLY approaching you should be common sense

i mean they never stand on a motorway

You should see florida

@@surfliner456 I went down to Fort Lauderdale to check out the first leg of the Brightline in 2018. South Floridians are worse, no care in the world for train crossings. And they have so many you think they would have gotten used to after a couple of hundred years. 😅

@@monica012077 for real

40 million people live in California. Don't generalize.

Simp amirite lmao

Smart

It's Not A P3! It's A Japanese P2 Horn!

It’s a quiet zone there. Can’t remember when it became a quiet zone, but it may have been around 2011. There’s a neighborhood on the other side of the tracks and being a couple miles away, I could still hear the train horn, especially at night. So it makes sense. Most people aren’t that stupid and we have the bars for a warning.

@@baileypaliolonga5620 I believe it did become a quiet zone in 2011 while I believe the crossing arms don’t always do enough to warn people. The train horn is there for safety.

@@djmasterty2309 There is a bell that rings pretty loud, the lights flash before the bell even goes, and the arms go down. Plus there is a huge freaking train coming towards you. If you're still on the tracks after that, then you deserve a Darwin award lol.

@@baileypaliolonga5620 well I wouldn’t stay on the tracks when that is going off.

@@djmasterty2309 Yes, most sane people get off.
