Three people work to fix a broken gate at the Route 59 crossing in Barrington Illinois. Quite interesting and not something you see everyday.
This all took place during morning rush hour (albeit towards the end) which adds a level of urgency to the task. Metra trains are coming by fairly frequently, and a line of traffic is trying to get across the track.
I happened to have my video camera and tripod with me because we were on our way up to Wisconsin that morning to see UP's "Big Boy" steam engine. I assume that most or all other videos of how a gate is fixed are shot on a shaky phone camera, or whatever else is readily available.
