There was an incident in Rochester, NY 4 or 5 years ago..
CSX train coming..no gate activity at all..
no lights, no bells, gates remained upright..gates completely unresponsive..
elderly couple met the train at the crossing..the train won.
It was in the winter, I believe salt was blamed..
Its rare that gates fail this way, but it can happen..
