Train strikes plane that made an emergency landing on railway tracks, Pacoima, California.

Not something you see every day, found this whilst browsing BBC News this evening.

Re: Banjo signal railroad crossings

This reminds me of a video of a narrow gauge railway in Japan, which contained various railroad crossings, whether real life or homemade, one of the crossing's on the railway were made from a shovel with working lights and bell.
