Night in Eureka, Mo

Note: People often get confused about this interconnected crossing in Eureka. When a BNSF train goes by BNSF gates go down and the UP crossing acts like it does at 9:04. When a UP train goes by the BNSF crossing also drops one gate and one remains up for traffic to proceed, this is all done to prevent people from stopping on the tracks and getting hit by a train. On this night the signals were called in and reported not to work, that's why the police came out to block traffic.
