Mike's Railroad Crossing Forum

Does anyone know of any weird railroad crossings?

Well, here´s one: https://www.google.com/maps/@42.2448828 ... 6656?hl=en

I know, there´s most likely another weird crossing post.

I'm pretty sure that crossing has been posted here in the past.

If you want to talk about a weird railroad crossing...

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give to you the Poland Ave & Dauphine St railroad crossing in New Orleans, LA

...Not sure why part of it serves a building project that "failed"

That's a parking garage.

I know, but either the construction of the parking garage "failed" either from budget cuts, or Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

How do you know that it "failed"? Did you see it get built and never run for what it was meant for?

No, because i was never born, nor did i grow up in New Orleans, and i would've been elsewhere had i lived in the US, but to me that parking garage does like pretty run down and to me an eyesore with other neighboring unused buildings.

(now if you also ask me this is probably a area where you could probably settle down for a few hundred bucks or whatnot)

but anyway, for unusual crossings in the UK, i do know a crossing with pedestrian gates, but i need to look at my history on YT in order to "refresh my memory"

You've never seen Detroit, Michigan, then...

This may not be really "weird" but it is a four way crossing, since the tracks cut across the four way intersection.
