Well, my trip in the summer should be back on. I will be going up the Mojave Sub. A place that seems good to stop here is Boron. I have come up with four crossing choices. I will try to get the picked crossing(s) in action. Here are the two crossings in Boron that are ruled out:
CA 58 due to it being busy
20 Mule Team Rd. due to it being a spur.
The choices are already listed on the poll.
US 395:

Boron Ave:

North America Chemical Co.:

Rocket Site Rd.

Those are the four choices. Enjoy!
You may select multiple choices.

Some crossings are nice... However I won't vote on this poll because all crossings have GS bells, which I'm sick and tired of.

Heck, do them all. I was disappointed at the lack of traffic that day anyway.

When I tried to get Boron Ave. in action a couple of years ago, little did I know that they were working on the tracks there.

I have a video that I may upload on YouTube that shows THREE PEOLE going around the gate at a nearby crossing.
I may go to all four depending on train traffic. There will be no rush, it will be a drive between Corona and Tehachapi with a possible stop in Bakersfield and Shafter.

I don't think there are any crossings left between Barstow and Mojave that do...

Here's one with mechanical bells, but good luck getting a train to cross:
