A communication structure including a first track system and a second track system including a first and second microprocessor and first and second control circuitry is provided. The control circuitry is configured to determine an inbound train on one of the track systems. The first and second control circuitry may be configured to communicate the inbound train on the corresponding track to the other control circuitry. The first and second microprocessor may be configured to communicate with one another. At least one of the first microprocessor and the second microprocessor may be configured to determine whether a first activation of warning devices is needed at a grade crossing and communicate the first activation to the other microprocessor. At least one of the first microprocessor and the second microprocessor may be configured to determine a second sustained activation of the warning devices and communicate the first activation to the other microprocessor.
A communication structure comprising:
A method for communicating train grade crossing signals comprising:
