i have actually lived next to a railway crossing all my life and when we have a power cut it doesn't affect it,it must have a backup generator type thing

good old battery backup
same as hospitals have emergency generators and so do police and fire stations, even large buildings like the bingo hall i worked in have them

Hello,

(ANS) I think most of the railway companies use a system of UPS (un-interuptable power supply) which in theory kicks into play the moment the mains power supply fails or is cut. In other words the lights & level crossing barriers should works as normal.

**I think the railway & infra-structure management companies (i.e. network rail) have to ensure UPS would work as its deemed life threatening or life critical like in a hospital. I think they have a legal obligation to make sure they work in such conditions.
