More trains sighted in Street view...

Part of the Glen Waverley line runs near the Monash freeway (The M1), so it's no surprise to see a train from the freeway: https://www.google.com.au/maps/@-37.876 ... 312!8i6656

Here's another at East Malvern Station: https://www.google.com.au/maps/@-37.876 ... 312!8i6656

Another one at Darling station (a bit further up the line): https://www.google.com.au/maps/@-37.867 ... 328!8i1664

Here's one at the old ground level station at Gardiner (before the crossing was removed): https://www.google.com.au/maps/@-37.853 ... 312!8i6656
This is what Burke Road looks like after the crossing was grade separated earlier this year: https://www.google.com.au/maps/@-37.853 ... 999!8i4000

One at North Richmond station: https://www.google.com.au/maps/@-37.810 ... 312!8i6656

One near Victoria Park station: https://www.google.com.au/maps/@-37.799 ... 312!8i6656

Another one near Clifton Hill: https://www.google.com.au/maps/@-37.790 ... 312!8i6656

You guessed it, more active crossings...

Hallam South Road (Aug 2015, you can see the train too!): https://www.google.com.au/maps/@-38.018 ... 312!8i6656

Ramsden Street (Dec 2009, note the old interlocking gates that have been preserved): https://www.google.com.au/maps/@-37.790 ... 312!8i6656

Victoria Road (Feb 2014): https://www.google.com.au/maps/@-37.779 ... 312!8i6656

Station Street (Feb 2014): https://www.google.com.au/maps/@-37.778 ... 312!8i6656

Grange Road (Dec 2007, one can make out the train in the background): https://www.google.com.au/maps/@-37.779 ... 328!8i1664
Another shot of the crossing in 2007 (It has both a black and white barrier and a McK&H teardrop bell! :TUP1:): https://www.google.com.au/maps/@-37.779 ... 328!8i1664
But by Dec 2009, the barrier had been repainted red and white and the teardrop bell had been replaced with an e-bell :Awww: : https://www.google.com.au/maps/@-37.779 ... 312!8i6656

Allendale Road (Feb 2014): https://www.google.com.au/maps/@-37.688 ... 312!8i6656
