Automatic Electric Train Barrier

The document describes an automatic electric train barrier that uses a DC motor, pulley system, and switches to raise and lower barrier arms at railway crossings. When a train passes over the switches on the tracks, the motor is activated and turns the pulley to either lower or raise the barrier arms based on the train's direction of travel. This automatic barrier is presented as a safer and more cost-effective alternative to manned barriers, helping to prevent accidents at unmanned crossings while requiring little energy or manpower to operate.
