Edinburgh - Dundee Route Test

I think that those crossing gates are supposed to work that way. I've seen similar types in the East Asia where the gates swing either across the road or across the tracks, depending on which one is has the right of way which is very obvious just by looking at them.

The swing gate type of level crossing is (for the era) quite correct. Many crossings were manually operated by the staff, and I can remember them closing each gate in turn. Normally set for road traffic to pass, they would only be closed as a train was due.

There are still some of this type around, though not on busy lines.
IIRC, there is an occupation crossing nearby with this type of gate (though normally closed to road traffic).

Are those gates supposed to be animated? I drove the train right through two sets of gates.

Should be but don't seem to work!
