In Driving Miss Daisy, there's a brief scene where they drive over tracks and you can see the signals and bell. It's about 2:33 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqUC-KP2YYs&t=187s Not sure if this counts, but an update to this. I was watching this other scene of Driving Miss Daisy here: https:...

2:Arlington Ave, Independence, MO a guy in a red truck parked his truck in the middle of the road and began harassing me, threatening to break my camera, as well as wanting to kill me all because I was filming trains (I'm not making it up, the guy was wanting to fight me and kill me).

Looks like a while since any trains came through here.

I'm always curious of when certain crossings were installed or first signal-ized, but I don't have the expertise to tell yet. I know if it has 8" signals, that means it must be...

Ah... The CSX Lineville Sub. Would love to visit the parts of the line from Lineville, AL, eastwards, especially if even half of the stuff street view shows is still there. Went further east (onto what appears to be the CSX Fitzgerald Subdivision) and found this active crossing: https://www.google....
