Crossings near Restaurants

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

Here's one in Pennsylvania about as close to a McDonald's as you can get.

The crossing does not appear to be signalized, unless the signals are not in the shot. Could be controlled by the traffic lights also.

there was a flagger in the shot, so most likely the crossing isn't signalized and coming around that curve with the trees is just a blind sight to thru traffic. The author of the video said it was coming out of a industrial sector, so I am thinking that was a spur track. I am guessing they didn't think they needed to add signals. There may be crossbucks out of the shot, but I betcha thats all there is.

Where was the flagger at? I only saw one person in the scene walking next to the engine... he went into the McDonald's!

maybe that was who I thought was the flagger. Maybe he wasn't. Maybe he was just a pedestrian on a sidewalk, i have no idea.
