Weirdest Exempt Railroad Crossing Ever In Snow! Defect Detector Audio, Mason & Woodlawn Ohio Trains HD

Unusual exempt railroad crossing in Mason Ohio with train in snow. Railroad crossing explained better. Also a defect detector with full audio on CSX mainline out of Cincinnati at Woodlawn Ohio. The exempt railroad crossing is on Indiana & Ohio Railway on a lightly used industrial railway spur. I filmed this crossing a couple other times and this time I tried to explain that there is more to the crossing other than being exempt. Exempt does not mean that the crossing is not used. It only means that commercial passenger and hazardous materials vehicles are exempt from the requirement to stop prior to entering the crossing. At crossings without this sign , commercial vehicles that carry hazardous materials or have the capacity for 16 passengers including the driver are required to stop to verify that there is no train approaching. At exempt crossings, it is safer if they just pass on through unless ordered to stop. I did research for this definition. There are numerous requirements for exempt railroad crossings but I am only covering the main definition. Here is more information on exempt crossings: https://www.utc.wa.gov/regulated-industries/transportation/regulated-transportation-industries/railroads/general-criteria-crossing-exempt-status In addition, this crossing has signals at both ends for the train. The lineside signals stay on red until the train approaches and the traffic signals are activated for vehicle traffic to stop. When all the traffic signals are red, the train will get a green signal to approach the crossing and a crew member will walk the train across. Also notice in the video that there is a special train signal that lights up in the middle of the intersection over top of the road. Another interesting thing about this crossing is that it is on an angle through the middle of a busy intersection and there is a bike trail that crosses here. Now put all of that together and you have the weirdest crossing in Ohio. This time I was able to show the lineside signal for the train changing from red to green and I show the flashing train signal over the middle of the intersection at 01:41. The second part of this video shows a defect detector on a busy CSX line that is also used by Norfolk Southern and Amtrak. I have shown this detector before and explained it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQ6nCG-UBvE This video has the audio improved so that you can clearly hear everything that it transmits. I held my radio next to the camera so that it could be heard. The purpose of this video is to play the audio of the detector. Any cheap pocket scanner tuned to the proper radio frequency will work for this. Hopefully this video clears up the questions asked from the other videos. Filmed spring of 2021. Thanks for watching!
