Crossings near Restaurants

Can't have signals without railroads, so talk about your favorite locomotives, railroads and any other (non signal) railroad related stuff.

You are correct, I posted it back in June. I forgot that I did.

We now have a Dairy Queen next to the Oakwood Avenue railroad crossing here in Huntsville:

I've eaten there a few times...

Also in Huntsville, we have a restaurant called "The Lumberyard" just down the street from the Cleveland Avenue #1 crossing:

And right around the corner in the same little shopping area is a restaurant called "The Furniture Factory":

Interestingly enough, this appears to have originally been an industrial complex (maybe lumber/furniture?) as in the patio behind The Lumberyard the rails from an industrial spur still exist. The restaurant uses them to their advantage by having a passenger car (maybe a dining car, haven't been in it yet) on it.
They/Them for me, please.

No clue. I know that they have a weekly "Bike Night" hosted by a local classic rock station every Thursday during the summer there, so it ain't out of the realm of possibility. :Tongue2:

Orrville, Ohio, has a Dairy Queen next to a siding leading into the Smucker's plant. I've been here a number of times growing up and occasionally I got to enjoy a train show with my meal!

We could almost start a separate category... Dairy Queen and railroad crossings. :Smile:
