If you want to see really careless behaviour, look at the Ballina branch: far more trains, much higher speeds and the local muppets (especially between Foxford and Manulla) seem to leave crossing gates open most of the time.
All you need to do is go to Stagmount accom crossing, between Rathmore and Headford. There is CCTV at that crossing, but regardless, I've never see gates closed. Always open. Was there one day and a local just drove straight through.
