After activating the lever, a railway employee reacted immediately, but did not open the barrier because "train operation" was on. However, it felt like 10 minutes before a train came and the barrier was opened. Apparently there is also a microphone installed in the boxes with the "call button", you can "converse" with the box. At least the railway employee answered without us having to press a button to ask the question.

Well, when we asked for the barrier to open, we were told we had to wait 10-15 minutes because a train was coming and the barrier wasn't allowed to open in the meantime. A minute later, when we were looking for possible alternatives on the map, a tractor came and the barrier was opened without hesitation and immediately. Sorry, but that makes no sense!!!
