My Neighborhood Train Crossing

June 6, 2013 6:20 PM A train has struck the crossing arm in my neighborhood.

 The crossing arm is supposed to swing on a breakaway hinge. Instead, the U-Bolts have slid around, as if someone had struck the stanchion itself, rather than the arm

The crossing arm is supposed to pivot on this hinge.

The southbound crossing arm still works. Those alarm bells are still ringing and this will probably go on all night.

Fin.
