Say we have automatic gates at a grade crossing on a street in an industrial area. If the train is doing some switching where they get near the crossing but actually stop short and then back up into some spurs and such, can the crew bypass the automatic control and not have the gates come down? Seems there would be lots of situations where we wouldn't want to block the road just because a train was in the vicinity.
