My wife the other day showed me this channel on You Tube that often live streams train locations (can't recall the name of the channel). Anyway, they also had these videos from Russia, and one of them had something interesting. At this one rail crossing, when the crossing barrier is activated, arm comes down, lights flash, sound, it also had these metal plates in the road that rose up at a 45 degree angle, blocking cars from going through (picture kind of like the road surface on a draw bridge in the open position, in much smaller scale).
Does anyone know if that has ever been used here? I can't recall ever seeing it up here, just wondered if anyone else knows of places they use something similar in the US.
