Mike's Railroad Crossing Forum

Since my last post, I have 2 additional crossings that are considered my favorites as well.

Metairie Rd, Metairie, LA
The reason I like this particular crossing is because of it being a 4-quadrant crossing, and how it was activated when a train passes by.

Dauphine St & Poland Ave, New Orleans, LA
I have mentioned a couple of times about this crossing, it's just the complete oddity of this crossing is why I love this crossing.

Yep, 12x20" WABCO lights! They're pretty rare around here, actually.

Not to mention the US&S mechanical bell! It's also nicely paired with a GS Type 1.

The US&S mechanical bell got replaced with an NEG bell.

3. Ken Pratt Blvd. Longmont, CO


2. Lowell Blvd. #1, Westminster, CO

Probably the Route 23&38 crossing in DeKalb IL.
It’s the only crossing in the state of Illinois that two highways and a railroad cross at the same place.

The crossing on google maps. Unfortunately the signals are replaced now. More info found in the Dekalb signal replacements post in Crossing signal news
