Eastern Railroad Discussion > GateThis!Date: 03/31/15 09:39 GateThis! Author: cinder The first picture was taken in early January.....When the first workaround was evident. The second two were taken very recently when the gate was open for the two days I was in the vicinity.
Make your own observations....Draw your own conclusions. No, it's not the aggressive CSX Special Agent laying a trap for railfans.    Date: 03/31/15 09:44 Re: GateThis! Author: steamfan Where are the pics?

Date: 03/31/15 09:52 Re: GateThis! Author: steamfan Looks like they need a wider gate!
John R -- CP Spring Carlisle, PA Date: 03/31/15 16:46 Re: GateThis! Author: Tominde It's obvious by the ruts that people are going around the gate. So if we put a big block there and swing the gate around, people will stop going around the gate! Now does that qualify me for management?

-Ken Date: 03/31/15 18:50 Re: GateThis! Author: hoydie17 Either some maintainer was too preoccupied to lock the gate properly, or someone else has a key and left it open. Or worse yet, someone just destroyed the lock and left it. Up in those parts, any of those scenarios are plausible.

Date: 04/02/15 06:06 Re: GateThis! Author: RickRowlands First photo shows bypassing a closed gate. Last two show barricades to each side of the gate and no more bypassing, although I think they could use another concrete block where the pile of snow is.
