Opening Washington Street Drawbridge in Norwalk

We are in the bridge tender's shanty on the Washington Street Drawbridge in Norwalk, Connecticut, where we see a boat coming up the Norwalk River headed for it's slip in the marina across the river. As soon as the operator gets confirmation that the boat can't fit, he opens the bridge. He starts by blowing the warning horn three times to alert pedestrians and traffic to clear the bridge. Then, the gates go down to prevent traffic from proceeding, then, he unlocks the leafs of the bridge and raises them to about 20 degrees open on either side. The captain of the vessel says he's through, and the operator lowers the bridge, locks it in place, and opens the gates again. Once traffic starts to proceed through again, we take a look out the other side of the shanty and see Walk Bridge, which is used by Metro North and Amtrak. Video of the bridge opening up will be here in the future. Enjoy the view from inside the shanty. If you have any questions about the video, feel free to message me. Comments are welcome. The video was taken on July 6th, 2014.
