Mike's Railroad Crossing Forum

This crossing is on 3rd Av in Ardmore OK

It is two mast signal crossings that currently activate together no matter what track the train is on. There are "9 TRACKS" signs on the first signal you come to from either direction.
When this crossing was last street-viewed in 2013, the crossings activated independently, which was really bad because it could cause vehicles to get stuck on the tracks. Also, the #of tracks signs were different back then, corresponding to the number of tracks between each set of signals.

There is one with 10 Tracks somewhere in Florida, i think it might be Tampa or Orlando.

I wonder if this crossing will be upgraded when BNSF finishes construction and opens their new transloading facility just to the west of this location. Seems a bit dangerous currently being passive... but there will be more train traffic on the line after the transloading facility opens.

There's also this eight track monstrosity in Blue Island, Illinois.

This has 8 tracks and a wig wag (one sign still says nine)

Yeah, that's already well-known.
