So now we need “corrective action” to include “mistake-proofing” so that it does not happen again and so that the system is not 100% dependent on humans.

The trains slowed down in the vicinity of the workers and would signal with their horn on approach. The project seems to have wrapped up, but they often implement a "slow zone" until the ballast settles around the new ties. Despite the speculation people made, the root cause of the previous incident involving a gate failing to activate was due to maintenance personnel calibrating a level crossing predictor circuit as a train was approaching. This caused the equipment to not pick up an approaching train until it was at the island. - Chris On Tue, Nov 1, 2022, 12:29 Joanna Owen Schmergel via Lincoln <[email protected]> wrote: The primary concern, which I have harped about several times here on LT, is safety. If the arms malfunction in the “up” or “unsafe” position, and one drives across the tracks thinking it is safe, only to have the train come full speed ahead causing fatalities, or best case scenario, a “near miss”. I believe the trains are now all mandated to slow down to X miles an hour when approaching any crossing here in Lincoln and blow a “soft” warning whistle until thorough root cause analysis, followed by corresponding corrective action, is complete. A very scary situation if you, like me, traverse the train tracks up to a dozen times a day with little ones in the car.

It was about 5 minutes at Tower around 8am this morning. I don't remember any public notices on changes. The times are so long that it might encourage someone to go around the barriers if they think they are stuck or broken. The other unintended consequence is a large vehicle backup on Rt 117 which is likely to cause accidents at 117 and Tower. Mark Holzwarth22 Blackburnian Rd-- The LincolnTalk mailing list.
