Over the years, I've recorded some train programs and movies with signals in them on tape. I've decided to release this album, but I'm giving it away free in fear of any legal woes over FOX, CBS, NBC and other programs.
VIDEOS IN RED HAVE SOME VERY MINOR SKIPPED FRAMES
DUE TO A VERY OLD TAPE.
VIDEOS IN GREEN HAVE ONE COUNT OF BAD LANGUAGE
IN THEM.
|
Street Stories - An older CBS program showing impatient drivers going around gates just to save a few minutes. It's amazing how many people (in bars) don't want to wait for trains. You see an infamous train/semi collison that takes out a 8" signal with classic crossbucks with an inverted 2 tracks sign as well as a color light signal. |
|
Cops - An older video of a story of a older woman lost and drives her car in between 2 main CSX lines. |
|
Train 102 - Taped from Dateline NBC. A semi got stuck on a set of high speed tracks while waiting for a freight train to cross another crossing just 25 feet away. As a result of not setting the crossing signals to make the crossing safer, 3 people die from a collison as a result of cargo going through the train, piercing them to their death. |
|
Train Wrecks - A FOX program taped in 2001. A series of crossing accidents are shown one right after another of stupid people making stupid mistakes at the tracks. Some accidents are not prevented, but most are. The infamous train/semi makes another appearance once again. Another set of cantilevers are knocked over from another accident as well. NOTE: SOME PURPOSELY MADE ACCIDENTS WERE MADE IN CANADA, AND SHOW CANADIAN CROSSBUCKS. |
|
Duel - A classic video of a classic crossing. A bloody mess almost occurs when a duel between a car who passes a 18-wheeler, and gets ticked off just for a car passing him. |
|
Groundhog Day - Bill Murray's character decides to do stupid things because he gets stuck reliving Feb. 2 day after day. One stunt is driving on the railroad tracks, and barely avoids hitting a train at a grade crossing. The signal lights you see activated at the end are oversized 8" lights. |
|
Close Encounters - This is chapter 5 of the Close Encounters of the third kind movie. One 8" signal goes crazy, and almost gets destoyed. |
|
Maximum Overdrive - In a rebellion of electronics turning on humans, some 12"x24" crossing signals get a little unpredictible. NOTE: There is a hard edit, where I had to take out a lot of stuff that wasn't important to this particular DVD. |
REVIEWS
gtw4070@gmail.com: Awesome! Totally cool! A must for any train fan or signal fan!! Favorites were: Train Wrecks, Duel, and Close Encounters of The Third Kind (Love that crazy 8" signal).
Senko LKE: TV signals is very, very cool. There are very nice-looking signals in
this DVD. If I ever meet that trucker that make the collision on Street Stories...well, you won't like to know what I'll do to him. I'll be very bloody nonetheless. Also, Maximum Overdrive is very cool. I'll have to rent the movie to know why the signals acted like that.
Favorite: Train 102, because it showed me for the first time the G.R.S. plastic lights. After that one, I like Duel because of the nice-sounding bell.
