Level Crossing

I use this level crossing a couple of times a week at the moment - and once in a blue moon manage to catch the gates closed!

All very old fashioned - a man comes of a house next to the line and wheels the gates across the road and then back again after the train has gone. No electrical gates or remote control!

I had thought about this as a possible blip - this is the first time in ages the gates were closed, and of course there another car in front of me- typical.

Basically rested camera on top on car console and pressed and hoped - fortunately trains don't go that fast along here so managed to get nice blur.
