One-Lane Underpass for Railroad Bridge

[signal-in-the-box]

4th St has an ancient 1-lane railroad underpass.
It is a two way street, so you have to stop and make sure no one is coming. It does have a sidewalk under it, mainly because the TransAmerican Bike Route 76 goes down 4th St.
It's looks to be made of wood and steel, with grates covering the spaces, stone walls underneath, and a tiny wire fence on the edge.

Neat. There is a similar situation in my hometown of Stoughton, Wisconsin. The railroad bridge (known locally as "Cooper's Causeway") crosses the Yahara River, and then passes over Division Street, which hugs the river bank and is already quite narrow, and narrows to about 1 1/2 lanes to go under the bridge. There are stop signs posted on the bridge approaches, so you have to stop and check for oncoming traffic before going through.





The bridge actually became a source of complaints from local residents because drivers would blow their car horns as a warning to oncoming traffic before driving under the bridge, so "NO HONKING HORN 8:00 PM TO 8:00 AM" signs were installed below the clearance signs:

We have a similar situation over here, only this bridge is protected by traffic lights: http://goo.gl/maps/y4Ttq
