A few days after the incredible images recorded by a driver at the level crossing in Konstantinoupoleos, with cars stopping at the last moment before the train passed, a new video this time from an automatic crossing in Alexandria Imathia is shocking.
“Stop, stop, stop, stop.”
Seconds before the train passes, the cars waiting at the automatic crossing, without a guard, in Alexandria Imathia brake.
The bar has not been lowered. They stop because they see and hear the driver shouting that a train is coming.
The train honks and passes the shocked drivers.
What OSE sources say to MEGA
OSE sources tell MEGA that in this particular case the regulation was not applied.
“Watching the video, the OSE found a regulatory irregularity regarding the coordination of operation of the said Automatic Level Crossing System and the train. That is, while the system was activated, the delay of the train’s approach to the Level Crossing had exceeded 3.5 minutes, a time that has been foreseen during the construction of the automatic system in question.”
The train drivers, for their part, reply that the backup systems were not activated to lower the bars.
“The reserve mine that exists for these cases right next to the crossing for some reason was not activated and what we see in the video is that what the regulation provides was done, in these cases, that is, the train should pass with a pedestrian step and with continuous whistles, he controls the road and if it is free he slowly passes through”.
Residents complain that this new extremely dangerous incident happened at a crossing where many drivers and students pass.
“You see this is a crossroads here someone has to deal with it people will be killed. I live opposite there and I held in my hands a dead child who was killed. You are welcome”.
An investigation has been ordered for the incident.
