    A couple of interesting pics so far. Gotta run a few errands today, so I'll get my version of a crossing then. Should be interesting, IF it turns out!

    Paul didn't state what kind of crossing he was looking for. :wink3ed:
    So, I'm providing three crossings in one! :p
    I'm standing on the BNSF track. In front, it's crossed by the Union Pacific, then a side walk, then College Ave.

    Here is the crossing at 33.75 road in Clifton, CO with Mount Garfield in the background. I wish the lighting had been better but such is life.

    Almost makes you put down your camara and say what am I going to add. Then you add one anyway and it just might win.:shade:

    IMHO, I think the lighting makes it that much more dramatic. Wow....
