Video 1 of 1. Total videos 2 of 2 and that's it till next time.
Original video: • *Malfunction?* Bucknel...
What happened here was that me and my dad saw the train coming so I got my camera ready. The crossing didn't activate and by this point the train had already passed over the treadle, the the driver got out of the cab and then he put a key into a control box, which then activated the crossing.
When the train was clear of the crossing, the crossing failed to deactivate as soon as the train was clear, and as can be seen in the video, the train conductor came out and tried to deactivate the crossing with the plunger on the platform, then with the control box on the Drivers' Crossing indicator post, but neither of them deactivated the crossing.
So the driver then contacted the signaller about the problem and then set off afterwards. The crossing did eventually go back up.
