Mike's Railroad Crossing Forum

I forgot to mention Arthur's Bar-B-Q is across the tracks from the train store I go to in Mabelvale,AR.

At Descanso Gardens there is a Cafe close to the crossing.

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.

McDonald's in Warren,AR is near the Arkansas Midland(AKMD),formerly Warren & Saline River Railroad crossing.Burger King in Monticello,AR is near the AKMD crossing on US 425.Also there is some resturant near the AKMD crossing in Moticello about a block from US 425 on a dirt road..I didn't get the name of it.

McDonald's in Homer,LA is near the LA & Northwestern crossing on US79.
