Railway passenger gate assembly

A barrier system for a railway station platform, said system comprising:

• a platform having an upper surface, a well extending downwardly into said platform, said well being positioned adjacent to an edge of said platform;
• a housing being positioned within said housing and having an apex being open, said apex being approximately flush with said upper surface of said platform;
• a pair of cylinders being positioned within said housing, each of said cylinders being vertically oriented, a conduit being in fluid communication with each of said cylinders;
• a pair of pistons, each of said cylinders having one of said pistons positioned therein, each of said pistons having a bottom end and a top end;
• a pair of posts, each of said top ends having one of said posts attached thereto such that said posts extend upwardly from said pistons;
• a railing being attached to and extending between said posts, said railing being positioned on an upper end of said posts, said railing being horizontally oriented;
• said pistons being movable between a stored position with said railing being approximately flush with said upper surface and a deployed position positioned greater than 30.0 inches above said upper surface;
• a brace being attached to and extending between said posts, said brace being positioned between said pistons and said railing;
• each of said cylinders including a cylinder gasket mounted on said cylinder and extending around a corresponding one of said posts, each of said cylinder gaskets including a plurality of cleaning bristles for cleaning said posts before said posts move inwardly of said cylinders;
• each of said pistons being telescopic and including a lower section and an upper section in fluid communication with each other such that said upper sections are lifted upwardly when a fluid is injected into said cylinders and a corresponding one of said pistons, said upper sections being attached to an associated one of said posts;
• a pair of piston gaskets being provided, each of said piston gaskets being positioned between one of said upper sections and a corresponding one of said posts, each of said piston gaskets including a plurality of bristles for cleaning said posts before said posts move inwardly of said lower sections;
• and
• a pump being in fluid communication with said cylinders to force fluid into said cylinders and urge said pistons upwardly into said deployed position.
