Not related, but while looking at Pat Metheny's album, Imaginary Day, i noticed that if you look at the first two rows, you can see crossbucks.

Dash-cam footage of a driver smashing a decommissioned ambulance through a railway barrier before nearly colliding with a passing train has been released by police.
The footage, which was captured from a police car chasing the vehicle, showed driver Shane Hughes stop just inches from the train as it passed at 70mph, in Kildwick, North Yorkshire.
Hughes, 41, of Ramsgate Street, Halifax, was sentenced at Bradford Crown Court to 22 months in prison.
Here's the crossing today:ColeD wrote: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
Movie is from 1989, and the signals were installed by NS in the mid-1990s. So around 5-6ish years after the movie came out...ZachL wrote:Here's the crossing today:ColeD wrote:In Driving Miss Daisy, there's a brief scene where they drive over tracks and you can see the signals and bell.

It must have been upgraded not too long after the movie was filmed, considering the cantilevers that are there.
