Railroad crossing signs installed outside of Silver Spring Library for Purple Line (Photos)


More signage to warn pedestrians and drivers of approaching Purple Line trains have been installed outside of the Silver Spring Library at 900 Wayne Avenue. A railroad crossing crossbuck-style sign sits atop a Signal-Tech Another Train Coming LED sign. The latter is a product marketed specifically for light rail crossings. It is designed to alert pedestrians to the fact that a second train is approaching on the other track, so that they will not step around the first, stopped train into the path of the oncoming second train. This is especially important given that, as a previously-installed sign warns, not every train will necessarily stop. The Purple Line is currently anticipated to begin operating in December 2027.
