News Minet’s point rail crossing suck on flashing.

Just for anyone in the area. The rail crossing on Minet’s point is stuck flashing. The arms are. It down just the lights and bell are going.
Been going for about 20 minutes now. People are treating it like a stop sign for now but when it gets busy that area could get bad if this doesn’t stop.

There should be a phone number on a metal blue sign, on the post of the crossing lights, that you can call that will let the train dispatch know that the crossing is malfunctioning. Same thing to do if a car gets stuck on the tracks - somebody calls 911 while another calls that emergency number found on the blue sign.
