Goodness, I'd be scared to be cruising along the side of one of those like that.

And here is a train in the distance on the same line!
Excluding light rail/streetcar/tram lines I think these are the first time I've seen a train on a street running line on Streetview!
Sense they caught two trains here I have to wonder how busy this line is? Typically street running lines aren't that busy, although this wouldn't be the first exception that I know of as the South Shore Line's street running line in Michigan City is pretty busy.

IIRC, that street-running is along an active Norfolk Southern main-line.ToledoRailfan wrote:Here is a better view.ZachL wrote:Goodness, I'd be scared to be cruising along the side of one of those like that.![]()

Re: Trains on google street view.
I went over to the crossing yesterday, so I'm gonna upload the photos to Flickr, and post a video of the crossing active on Youtube. The 8" lights are not there anymore.brett nc railfanner wrote:My mom wants to do it this month.

Also, someone needs to get out there and document that crossing.Please make sure to get plenty of pictures!
