The whole story seems hyped up a bit .Usually anytime a crossing gate signal system is tampered with the gates go down and stay down until the problem is resolved. It's a built in failsafe system. Getting the gates to go up and clear is more difficult. The gates are also protected by a short separate "island " circuit within the crossing. Anytime a train goes through a crossing "it could have been catastrophic"
