As such, trains stop just south of the busy four-lane U.S. Route 322 grade crossing on a regular basis, and are allowed to enter town exactly 12 times per year.pennlive.com Norfolk Southern's busy Harrisburg Line traverses the northern section of Hummelstown, with up to 20 lengthy freight trains passing through daily.
Gwynedd Valley station is a station along the SEPTA Lansdale/Doylestown Line. The station, located at the grade crossing of Plymouth Road in Gwynedd Valley (part of Lower Gwynedd Township, Pennsylvania), includes a 166-space parking lot. In FY 2013, Gwynedd Valley station had a weekday average of 210 boardings and 237 alightings.
Concord Street grade crossing near the station Unlike most other mid-sized cities in Massachusetts, Framingham still has significant level crossings in the downtown area. The crossings at Beaver Street and Concord Street (Route 126) near the station are the first grade crossings on the Worcester Line heading westbound; there are only three others on the largely grade-separated line east of Worcester. The Concord Street crossing was one of the last in the state with a crossing guard; he was replaced by an automated system with grade crossing signals and road gates as warning devices in 1986. The crossing is problematic because passing freight trains often result in delays both on Route 126, as well as Route 135 which crosses it just south of the tracks.
Lake Avenue is a station on the abandoned North Shore Branch of the Staten Island Railway in Mariners Harbor, Staten Island, New York. It has two tracks and two side platforms. It is located in an open cut, approximately from Saint George Terminal. The station opened in 1937 during a grade crossing elimination project.
At approximately 12:19 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, an Amtrak passenger train collided with a truck, which was obstructing the track on a grade crossing in Halifax, North Carolina. The train was the northbound Carolinian, from Charlotte, North Carolina to New York. There were 221 people on the train; 213 passengers and 8 crew members.

On January 4, 2016, a passenger train collided with a garbage truck which had broken down on a grade crossing at Lake Worth station and was derailed. Twenty-two people were injured. This marked the first derailment in almost 27 years of operation. Derailed Tri-Rail cars in Lake Worth on January 4, 2016.
The highway bends northeast, before curving to become north–south, passing through rural landscape. SR 13 enters Kosciusko County, passing through a junction with SR 14, before passing through Sidney. SR 13 passes through Pierceton concurrent with Main Street and has an at-grade crossing with a Chicago, Fort Wayne and Eastern Railroad track.
Plans to realign NY 112 in this area date as far back as the 1930s. The route originally crossed the Long Island Rail Road in Medford by way of a dangerous grade crossing. It was replaced with a steel bridge in 1940, 13 years after a driver was killed while traversing the crossing. The bridge has a low clearance.
The Fox Chase Line is a route of the SEPTA Regional Rail (commuter rail) system. The Fox Chase Line branches from the SEPTA Main Line at Newtown Junction, north of the Wayne Junction station. It runs entirely within the city of Philadelphia. The line is fully grade-separated, except for one grade crossing on Oxford Avenue.
Diamond cross where the BNSF Railway intersects the ex-Missouri Pacific in Arcola, Texas. The view is to the west along the BNSF from the grade crossing at FM 521. A hike and bike trail in Houston is called the Columbia Tap Rail-Trail. It starts at Dowling and Walker Streets near downtown Houston and heads to the southeast.
The Conrail Shared Assets Lincoln Secondary, used primarily by CSX Transportation freight trains that run between Detroit and Toledo, Ohio, runs through the northwest corner of Southgate and is notable for the large grade crossing (one of the largest in the world) through the intersection of Northline and Allen Roads, and also has a crossing at Reeck Road.
Independent of the city government's plans, Deutsche Bahn is considering the construction of a short S-Bahn tunnel to make the grade crossing at the station redundant as it constantly leads to traffic jams. Also, the long waiting times at the crossing hamper the development of the districts east of the railway line. Alternatively, a bridge construction is considered.
Contracts for this project were awarded the following year. The replacement bridge over the Christina River, a bascule bridge, opened on December 1, 1929. In 1927, plans were made to replace the grade crossing at the Pennsylvania Railroad line (now Amtrak's Northeast Corridor) in Newport with an underpass under the tracks. Work on this underpass began in 1929.
To accommodate bicycles and pedestrians, a cycleway was built along the eastbound side of the freeway. Finally, Caltrans completed the overpass which crossed SR 29, Broadway, and Mini Drive (bypassing Marine World Parkway, three traffic signaled intersections, and a railroad grade crossing). The project was completed in the summer of 2005, and fully open to traffic on August 20.
The highway begins at U.S. Route 412 (US 412) east of Walnut Ridge near the Cache River and the Green County line. Highway 231 runs north through an agricultural area before turning northwest and intersecting the Union Pacific Railroad line, which parallels Highway 34 through the region. Shortly after this at-grade crossing, Highway 231 terminates at Highway 34.
2, issue 3. Accessed May 10, 2008. The Fox River Grove crash stands as the worst crash involving a Metra train in its history, and one of the worst grade crossing crashes in U.S. history. At the crash site, the improved signaling system installed after the crash now protects the passing trains and motor vehicle traffic.
The road curves towards the east passing through farmland, before entering LaGrange. In LaGrange the route passes through residential properties, having a roundabout with SR 301\. After the roundabout SR 303 has an at-grade crossing with railroad tracks. After the tracks the road leaves LaGrange and crosses over the East Branch of the Black River.
Fernwood–Yeadon station (originally Fernwood station) is a SEPTA Regional Rail station in Yeadon, Pennsylvania. It serves the Media/Elwyn Line and is located at Church Lane (US 13) and Penn Boulevard. The station saw 113 boardings and 132 alightings on an average weekday. The station originally had a wooden pedestrian bridge and a grade crossing.
Metra North Central Service trains use the tracks but do not stop. Just west of the station is the Grand Avenue Railroad Crossing, which is the longest grade crossing in the Chicago area. It's so long, that drivers need to use extra caution when crossing the tracks. It is used by both Metra and Canadian Pacific Railway trains.
By 1912, this on-grade crossing was eliminated when the successor line to the LS & MS was elevated. The now abandoned Nickel Plate Railroad tracks also crisscrossed the area. Another elevated crossing was constructed for the Chicago Skyway in 1958. As of 2011, these lines are owned by Metra, Canadian National Railway, and Norfolk Southern Railway.
Pinelawn is a railroad station along the Main Line (Ronkonkoma Branch) of the Long Island Rail Road. It is on Long Island Avenue, east of the Suffolk County Road 3 (Wellwood Avenue) grade crossing in East Farmingdale, New York. Pinelawn serves mostly off-peak local trains daily. Approximately 36 trains currently stop at the station every week.
After it turns just prior to reaching the railroad tracks, a short spur goes over a grade crossing to Route 133, from which the Bridge Street intersection is a short distance to the north. On southbound 97, a sign directs Pennsylvania-bound drivers to bear off the road at Fremont Street, the north end of Route 133, which they then follow to the spur over the grade crossing. Access is much simpler from the Pennsylvania side, as the community there is smaller. Vehicles follow either Callicoon Road from the north or River Road from the south, both part of unsigned State Route 1016 which makes a long loop from State Route 191 to the northwest and State Route 371 at the Cochecton–Damascus Bridge, the next crossing downstream.
The E-signal (Swedish: Ägovägssignal, lit. "owner's road signal") is a type of grade crossing signal used in Sweden on very low-traffic roads crossing a railroad track, when the same landowner owns the property on both sides of the railway track and only a few residential buildings can be reached from the road. An e-signal operates in the opposite fashion of a conventional grade crossing signal: it is lit when no train is approaching the crossing, and when a train approaches, it extinguishes approximately 30-60 seconds before the train's arrival. This is intended to provide a 'fail safe' function, in the event the signal bulb has blown or the power has failed; e-signal mountings are always supplemented with an information plate indicating the function of the signal.
TRR combine No. 5 was dismantled. Coach No. 6 was used as a caboose but eventually got sidelined and never used again. Engine No. 14 flipped on her side but got repaired, only to have a grade crossing accident which put her out of service for good. Scheduled freight train service ended; all movements on the line were now by train order only.
Additionally, the grade crossing at New Hyde Park Road will be eliminated and replaced with a vehicular underpass. The road was closed on February 3rd, 2020 and the crossing was eliminated over the Summer of 2020, and opened back up to traffic on August 24th, 2020. A new park-and-ride facility would be built between Plaza and Second Avenues.
By September 1972, concrete was poured for the route between East Kane and Kane, and an overhead grade crossing signal was installed at the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad crossing to the south of Kane. The intersection with US 6 was nearly complete, with curb work to take place. Construction continued south from East Kane towards Wilcox, with several curves eliminated.
CR 51 runs briefly along First Avenue Northeast to Second Street Northeast, where it turns right, only to curve northeast again. Shortly after the curve, it has an at-grade crossing with a Georgia Southern and Florida Railway line that was following US 41 since Lake City. At Northeast 39th Drive, the road curves more northerly, although not necessarily straight north.
SR 44 turns south and US 30 continues southeasterly, passing through woodland and farmland, with houses. The road passes through Robertsville and curves towards the northeast, before curving back towards the southeast. The highway enters Minerva and passes through residential and commercial properties. In Minerva, the route curves northeasterly and has an at-grade crossing with an Ohi-Rail railroad track.
As part of the grade crossing elimination the junction of Main Line and Hempstead Branch was moved west of Bellerose. The two lines remain closely parallel between Jamaica and Floral Park. The platform was placed between the two Hempstead Branch tracks. The station is served by the and the bus routes at Jericho Turnpike, and local taxis do stop here.
The Davenport Avenue station is a station on the Newark City Subway Line of the Newark Light Rail, located at the dead end of Davenport Avenue east of North Fifth Street. It includes a gate which provides pedestrian access to Branch Brook Park, as well as a pedestrian at-grade crossing across the tracks located on the southeast corner of the dead end.
The Lawrence Expressway section from just south of Saratoga Avenue is more readily recognized as G2. Local residents almost exclusively refer to G2 as Lawrence Expressway. The road continues north, with access usually restricted to major intersections which are controlled via traffic lights. Lawrence Expressway continues northeasterly and junctions with I-280 and Stevens Creek Boulevard over a complex shared separated grade crossing.
The road was extended west across the Rio Grande and paved along its entire length, while the grade crossing downtown was eliminated with a new underpass. Dozens of new motels, diners, and filling stations sprang up along East and West Central to cater to the steady stream of travelers passing through the city. By 1955, there were 98 motels along Central Avenue.
In the 1980s, the railroad tracks and grade crossing south of Westover Hills were removed. Two railroad grade crossings remain on the newer Bells Road portion of SR-161, on a spur line (the former ACL main line into Manchester and Richmond) and the former Seaboard Air Line Railroad (SAL) S-line of CSX near the major Phillip Morris complex in South Richmond.
In mid-1886, the North Shore Branch opened its new terminal at Erastina. In 1889–1890, a station was built at the South Avenue grade crossing at Arlington as the tracks were extended to the Arthur Kill Bridge. At Arlington, trains were reversed for their trip back to St. George. Even a few years after its opening, most trains terminated at Erastina.
They were capable of running at . Some of them were almost 60 years in service. P&W;'s Norristown High Speed Line is still in use, almost 110 years after P&W; in 1907 opened their double-track Upper Darby–Strafford line without a single grade crossing with roads or other railways. The entire line was governed by an absolute block signal system.
Mundenheim station about 1910 Mundenheim station was opened in 1886. Four years later, on 15 October 1890, the metre-gauge Ludwigshafen–Dannstadt railway was opened, which crossed the Mannheim–Saarbrücken railway (originally called the Palatinate Ludwig Railway or Pfalzische Ludwigsbahn) to the north of the station. The at-grade crossing of the tracks was controlled by signals. Mundenheim became the terminus.
Auburndale station was originally built in 1901, the year the community itself was developed. The original station house was sold and converted into an Episcopal Church on 42nd Avenue and Utopia Parkway when a new elevated station was built in 1930 as part of a grade crossing elimination project. This church closed in 1973. The elevated platform was renovated between 2004 and 2005.
Transfer to the PATCO Speedline is available at the Walter Rand Transportation Center. The station contains a traffic circle at South Broad Street and Lippincott Avenue, with non- functioning railroad signals and a sign on the evolution of grade crossing signs in front of a bicycle rack. A similar display can be found at Burlington South further to the northeast.
US 50 enters Ohio from Indiana at a traffic light with State Line Road. The route heads northeast as a four-lane undivided highway, passing through farmland and paralleling a railroad track. The highway passes under Interstate 275 before entering the extreme western suburbs of the greater Cincinnati area. The road has an at-grade crossing with a railroad track, before curving southeast.
Eastbound US 12 joins with southbound US 45\. In Des Plaines, US 12/US 45 separates, as southbound traffic travels on Graceland Avenue, while northbound traffic runs one block east. In downtown Des Plaines, US 12/45 has a major intersection with US 14 (Miner Street) at a busy at-grade crossing with the Harvard Subdivision of the Union Pacific Railroad.
NY 488 heading eastbound from its western terminus in Chapin. The Finger Lakes Railway is visible in the distance. NY 488 begins at an intersection with NY 21 in the hamlet of Chapin, a small community within the Ontario County town of Hopewell. The highway progresses eastward, crossing the Finger Lakes Railway at a grade crossing less than from NY 21\.
In the pre-1955 state highway system, LA 658 was designated as State Route C-1982. LA 658 was created with the 1955 Louisiana Highway renumbering and deleted in 1973. LA 20 had been realigned onto a new railroad overpass about five years earlier, eliminating the at-grade crossing with the rail line and the direct connection between the two highways.
A third area, Davis Square, in Somerville, also exerts considerable influence on the North Cambridge neighborhood. Four roads span the railroad tracks, connecting the bulk of North Cambridge with other neighborhoods of Cambridge. From east to west, these are: Mass. Ave. (route MA-2A), Walden Street, Sherman Street (grade crossing), and Alewife Brook Parkway (carrying routes MA-2, MA-16, and US-3).
Allston Street station is a light rail station on the MBTA Green Line B branch, located between the westbound travel lanes and frontage road of Commonwealth Avenue at Allston Street in Allston, Boston, Massachusetts. The station is not accessible. It has two side platforms, located on the near sides of the Allston Street grade crossing, to serve the line's two tracks.
Kent Street is a light rail surface stop on the MBTA Green Line C branch, located in the median of Beacon Street in Brookline, Massachusetts. The two side platforms are staggered on opposite sides of the Kent Street / Powell Street grade crossing; the outbound platform is to the east and the inbound platform to the west. Kent Street is not handicapped accessible.
McGuire and Blakeslee bid $112,993 to construct the bridge. Structural steel was purchased from the Minneapolis-Moline Power Implement Company, cement from the Ideal Cement Company, and reinforcing steel from the Carnegie Steel Company. The Great Northern Railway, which owned the Montana Central Railway, paid $6,750 to have the bridge span its tracks rather than create a grade crossing. of the span crossing its tracks.
In 1953 the first Grade crossing signals was installed in the Boyacá street level crossing of Flores district, having been the first in Argentina. In 1955 the works to improve the Once de Septiembre station began. One year later a new railway signalling system was installed on the Once-Moreno branch. On 30 June 1956, the first coaches by Toshiba made their debut on the rail.
The settlement is located along County Route 524 at what was once a grade crossing with the Pemberton and Hightstown Railroad with an associated rail station. Since the removal of the railroad, the right-of-way has become a part of the Union Transportation Trail. Besides the trail, the area is made up of mostly farmland with some agricultural-related businesses and single-family homes nearby.
The station was replaced by the Erie Railroad in 1905 and moved to the Normal Avenue grade crossing from its previous home at Mount Hebron Road. The station depot lasted until it burned down on March 21, 1970 in a suspicious fire. A station shelter replaced that structure in April 1971 after the fire. That structure was replaced in 1982 by another station shelter.
SR 108 through Holgate SR 108 begins at an intersection with SR 15, in rural Putnam County. The highway heads north as a two-lane highway, passing through farmland, with a few houses. The route has an intersection with SR 613, followed by enter the town of Miller City. In Miller City the road has an at-grade crossing with a Norfolk Southern Railroad track.
Chatham station is on an embankment with two side platforms. Madison on a viaduct is similar, with a recently refurbished 1916 station house on the eastbound side. The line passes its first grade crossing at Convent Station at the College of Saint Elizabeth. This station has two side platforms with the station building on the eastbound side and a brick waiting house on the westbound track.
The area surrounding the intersection contains more commercial businesses and a cemetery but as SR 304 continues east, it reenters a mostly residential setting. After traveling due east for about , the route curves slightly to the east-southeast and crosses over I-80 without an interchange. At this point, the route also enters Hubbard Township and has a grade crossing with a Norfolk Southern railroad.
SR 259 begins at a stop-controlled intersection with SR 416 in Goshen Township, just outside the community of Goshen. The route heads north immediately crossing the Tuscarawas River and has a grade crossing with a railroad. The route enters New Philadelphia and is surrounded by various warehouses and Ohio Department of Transportation offices. At County Route 125, SR 259 turns right onto Reiser Avenue.
See however Michigan Railroad Commission (1906), 27, which discusses a possible grade crossing east of Rapid City of the GRK&S;, and not the Pere Marquette. The line does not appear to have been particularly profitable; it mainly transported lumber, the quantity of which declined over the next decade. In 1915 a Pere Marquette official lamented the poor state of the line: > It is bad.
Grade crossing at Lakefront Station that leads to the station's building. Cleveland has four daily trains: the Capitol Limited (trains 29 and 30) between Washington, D.C. and Chicago, and the Lake Shore Limited (trains 48/448 and 49/449) between Chicago and New York City/Boston. , these trains were scheduled to arrive/depart from Cleveland at various times between 1:00 a.m. and 5:50 a.m.
Grumman needed to extend its airfield runway in 1950, requiring that South Oyster Bay Road, the grade crossing, and the station be moved. The LIRR protested the change, fearing that the extended runway increased the likelihood for a crash between a train and a plane. The LIRR lost its case in December 1950. The new road, station and crossing opened on February 19, 1951.
After crossing a pair of railroad spurs serving riverfront factories, KY 334 turns east toward the Ohio River and turns south to run along the riverfront. The highway enters the city of Hawesville at its grade crossing of the CSX rail line, crosses Lead Creek and follows Main Street to its terminus at KY 3101, which heads west on Harrison Street and south on Main Street.
The Sunnen St. Louis MetroLink station is located at 21 Sunnen Drive in Maplewood, at the headquarters of Sunnen Products. This station is accessible by stairs and ramps to reach both the Eastbound and Westbound Platforms. The Sunnen station is also adjacent to the only at grade crossing on the Cross County alignment. It opened August 26, 2006 along with the rest of the Cross- County Extension.
To accommodate new riders, TriMet will purchase six new light rail vehicles and upgrade the Ruby Junction maintenance facility in Gresham. Preliminary design work began in February 2018. The following month, the Hillsboro City Council authorized funds to study the effects of the extension on the existing MAX at-grade crossing at Southwest 185th Avenue. This may pave the way for grade separation in the future.
He resumed the insurance and bonding business in Buffalo, New York, and engaged for a time in banking. He served as a member of the grade crossing and terminal commission (1919–1939); and as member of the Allegany State Park Commission (1930–1939). He died in Buffalo, New York on November 18, 1939. He was interred in Mount Calvary Cemetery, at Pine Hill, near Buffalo, New York.
Nassau Tower opened in 1923, located next to the Mineola station and the LIRR's Mineola Electrical Substation, which was built in 1910. This tower replaced the original, brick tower, which was built in 1890 and destroyed in a train wreck on December 31, 1922. The south side of Nassau Tower, as seen from the Main Street grade crossing prior to the Main Line Expansion Project.
Prior to the mid-1980s a grade crossing was located shortly to the West of the station. As part of the Northeast Corridor Improvement Project it was removed and replaced with an overpass. In 2012 a new federal grant was awarded to upgrade the station into a multi-modal hub. This includes new platform, eliminating grade crossings, upgrades to the adjacent rail yard and new ticketing machines.
A footbridge spanned both freight and trolley tracks, with a set of stairs leading to the station platform, which was covered by a canopy. The freight house remained in use by the New Haven Railroad. In the early 1980s, the station was rebuilt. The pedestrian bridge was removed and a grade crossing built for platform access; the outer parts also served as small side platforms.
The station opened toward the beginning of 1937, likely during a grade crossing elimination project. The original name of the station was "Old Town Road"; the "Road" was dropped soon after the Metropolitan Transportation Authority assumed control of the Staten Island Railway from the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in 1971 (the MTA concurrently shortened the name of the Huguenot Park station to simply "Huguenot").
An overpass has been planned for almost two decades along this route at the Rice Avenue intersection with Fifth Street (State Route 34). In February 2015, a Metrolink passenger train collided with a truck at this on-grade crossing. Funding is being allocated for design with a desire by local officials to eventually get the estimated $35 million need for this grade separation project.
Highway 7 to Delisle The highway then crosses the Canadian National rail lines on an overpass, and intersects 11th Street followed by an at-grade crossing of the Canadian Pacific line. This twinned section of the highway handles between 7,000 and 12,000 vpd on average throughout the year. The 11th Street West intersection provides access from the south end of the City of Saskatoon to Highway 7.
Beyond Gateway Transit Center, the Green Line proceeds south, entering the I-205 MAX extension just east of I-205. Throughout most of this stretch, the line is grade-separated as part of the I-205 Transitway, running either above or below roadway intersections. The exception is an at-grade crossing at Southeast Flavel Street. Much of this segment also parallels the I-205 Bike Path.
Belton, MO, USA, with bell and warning lights, as seen in September 2007 Warning device in Australia, with crossbuck and flashing lights. First developed in concept by the Stanford Research Institute in the late 1950s at the request of the Southern Pacific Company (the Southern Pacific Railroad, now merged into the Union Pacific Railroad), and patented in 1966,US Patent No. 3,246,143 the design goal of the grade crossing predictor was to provide a consistent warning time for trains approaching a grade crossing. Before this invention, the circuits used for activating a crossing's warning devices were very simple, activated whenever a train came within a fixed distance (hundreds or thousands of feet) of the crossing. This method required that the crossing be designed to accommodate a train approaching at the track speed limit, which leads to longer warning times for trains approaching the crossing at lower speeds.
On the evening of February 3, 2015, a commuter train on Metro-North Railroad's Harlem Line struck a passenger car at a grade crossing near Valhalla, New York, United States, between the Valhalla and Mount Pleasant stations, killing six people and injuring 15 others, seven very seriously. The crash is the deadliest in Metro-North's history, and at the time the deadliest rail accident in the United States since the June 2009 Washington Metro train collision, which killed nine passengers and injured 80. The crash occurred after traffic on the adjacent Taconic State Parkway had been detoured onto local roads following a car accident that closed the road in one direction. At the grade crossing, a sport utility vehicle (SUV) driven by Ellen Brody of nearby Edgemont was caught between the crossing gates when they descended onto the rear of her car as the train approached from the south.
In Chestnut Hill the line passed south of the Chestnut Hill Reservoir, which opened in 1870. An even closer encounter took place in Newton Centre, where the line ran within a few feet of Crystal Lake. The grade crossing elimination project of 1905–1907 lowered the line in this area to above the lake's surface level. The B&A; installed a drainage system to mitigate the heightened flood risk.
This portion of the main coastal rail line is parallel with 5th Street between Camarillo and Oxnard. Besides Metrolink, the line is used by Amtrak and by the line's owner, Union Pacific for freight. Firefighters had previously pulled vehicles off the tracks at this at-grade crossing about 18 times. An overpass had been planned for almost two decades for the busy Rice Avenue crossing where the accident occurred.
Here, Route 11 crosses the Philadelphia Subdivision again, but at an at-grade crossing along with 6th Street.Philadelphia Transit; Streetcars;Route 11 (Kavanaugh Transit Systems) The road and line move to the west shortly, only to turn back northwest and finally north to 9th Street at the Darby Transportation Center. Some Route 13 trolleys also terminate at the station, but the other public transportation consists of SEPTA Suburban Transit Division buses.
The station at Passaic Park was first called Passaic Bridge, as the station was located immediately westward of the line's exit from the BE Drawbridge over the Passaic River. The original station structure was built in 1888 near the grade crossing of Aycrigg Avenue and Main Ave in Passaic. The 1888 construction included two wooden structures. One the westbound side was a shelter with a baggage office, ticket agent and restrooms.
The station was put up at the South Avenue grade crossing in 1889–1890. This location was where trains were turned on their way back to Saint George. The name of the neighborhood Arlington was coined after the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad (B&O;) purchased a farm at Old Place, on Staten Island's northwestern corner, which would become the Arlington freight yard. The B&O; renamed the area Arlington.
Harbor Road was a station on the abandoned North Shore Branch of the Staten Island Railway in Mariners Harbor, Staten Island, New York. The station, located under the overpass at the highest point of Harbor Road, was built in an open-cut with two tracks and one island platform. It was located from the Saint George terminal. The station was opened during the SIRT grade crossing elimination project of 1935 – 1937.
Drexel Manor station is a SEPTA Route 102 trolley station in Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania. The station is officially located near Burmont Road and Cheswold Road, although it is actually southwest of the Burmont Road grade crossing. Like the Marshall Road stop, the Route 102 line runs in between Cheswold and Blanchard Roads, both of which terminate at Burmont Road. Two schools are located in the vicinity of this station.
The B&M; obtained control of the Newburyport in 1855 and leased it in 1860. The B&M; built a new depot building in the 1870s, likely as part of a double-tracking project. It was raised in 1904–05 as part of a grade crossing elimination project. Passenger service on the Haverhill Branch ended in 1933, though a short segment to a paper mill remained in freight use until 1982.
14 -the route shown is erroneous. The maximum curvature was 4 degrees and the steepest grade was 1.23% which was over Minnechoag Mountain in Ludlow. In addition, there was not a single grade crossing. This required 28 bridges over the 15 mile route, in addition to several huge grade fills and cuts. The Minnechoag cut itself was 4,800 feet (1.5 km) long and 70 feet (21 metres) deep.
However, only Hermann Warehouse Corporation utilized rail. One of the rail spurs has since been removed, never having been used. Trackage west of Clyde Road to the East Millstone terminus was abandoned and removed in summer 1980 (a small section of track remains buried in brush William and Market Streets in East Millstone). Motorists complained that the poorly maintained grade crossing near Colonial Park was causing damage to their cars.
The state highway has a grade crossing of Norfolk Southern Railway's Christiansburg District immediately before curving to the east. Within the curve, SR 111 intersects Depot Street, which heads south to downtown Christiansburg. SR 111 continues east along Depot Street parallel to the rail line, then veers southeast to the highway's eastern terminus at US 11 and US 460 Business (Roanoke Street) on the east side of Christiansburg.
In order to avoid an at-grade crossing with Memorial Drive, the CFA proposed in June 1927 that these tracks be lower by . Since meant extending the Boundary Channel Bridge, new engineering studies of the bridge were needed.Office of Public Buildings and Public Parks of the National Capital, 1927, p. 20-21. The Corps and CFA were still studying how to depress the Pennsylvania Railroad tracks three years later.
SR 149 begins at an intersection with SR 130, just north of the Chicago Fort Wayne and Eastern Railroad and Norfolk Southern Railroad tracks. The road heads north as a two-lane highway, passing through rural farmland with some houses. The highway has traffic lights at U.S. Route 6 (US 6). The route crosses under the Indiana Toll Road and has an at-grade crossing with the CSX Transportation railroad tracks.
Kentucky Route 328 is a rural secondary highway in southern Lincoln County, northern Pulaski County, and western Rockcastle County. The highway extends from KY 70 near Eubank east to KY 618 at Quail. KY 328 heads west from KY 70 then turns north shortly before its bridge across Pilot Creek. The highway continues north to Waynesburg, where the route has a grade crossing of Norfolk Southern Railway's Louisville District rail line.
Ramps are provided to US 1 northbound and from US 1 southbound. North of the interchange, SR 215 begins to closely follow the Damariscotta River/Salt Bay on its east side and businesses and churches on the west side. It crosses a railroad at a skewed grade crossing and enters the village of Damariscotta Falls. The road reaches Austin Road which carries the southbound lane of SR 215 through the village.
This was the terminal of the North Shore Branch until its closure. The Port Ivory Station platform was behind the Procter & Gamble employee cafeteria. Most trains terminated one station to the south at Arlington, but the SIRT ran some trains farther west through the yard to the Western Avenue grade crossing, then into the Procter & Gamble plant yard. The plant was the B & O's largest customer on the island.
After traversing Watsessing Park, the tracks return to being above-ground and enter Bloomfield Station. The current Bloomfield station was constructed in 1912 during grade crossing elimination, when tracks were raised above street-level. From here, the station continues northwestward, paralleling Toney's Brook through Bloomfield (to the southeast of Bloomfield Avenue). After a short distance, the tracks enter the community of Glen Ridge and heads back below street level.
The road then ran south (passing over Campbell Road and under Harvard Avenue) before turning east. After an at-grade crossing of E. 49th Street and the bridging of E. 71st Street, the tracks turned north at E. 76th Street and followed Jones Road into the Newburgh Works. They terminated at Aetna Road. By the end of the 19th century, the demographic shift in Union–Miles Park was largely complete.
The former routing of NY 337 along McAlpine Street from Cherry Street to a grade crossing with the Mohawk, Adirondack and Northern Railroad, a distance of , is now designated as NY 970J, an unsigned reference route. The overlap between NY 12D and NY 26 north of Potters Corners was eliminated when NY 12D was rerouted to follow NY 337 to Lyons Falls, placing NY 12D on its current alignment.
Hidden Ridge Station is a planned DART Light Rail station located in the Las Colinas development of Irving, Texas, for service on the .DART Orange Line Expansion Information. The station will be located on Meadow Creek Drive, west of the Orange Line's grade crossing on Green Park Drive. Originally named Las Colinas Carpenter Ranch, it was originally planned to open in December 2012 to serve the surrounding neighborhood of Las Colinas.
MD 710 passes the Anne Arundel County Correctional Center, a U.S. Army Reserve Center, and the Defense Logistics Agency Curtis Bay Depot. The state highway curves east and has a grade crossing of CSX's Curtis Bay Branch underneath Interstate 695 (Baltimore Beltway). MD 710's eastern terminus is at an intersection with MD 173 (Pennington Avenue/Hawkins Point Road) in Brooklyn Park at the city limits of Baltimore.
The station was built in 1911 by the Bangor and Aroostook Railroad, and served as a passenger depot until rail service was discontinued on the line in 1961. It was moved about from its original location in 1941 to accommodate changes in a local grade crossing. The building was given to the Oakfield Historical Society in 1986, and has undergone restoration and adaptation for use as a museum.
Originally the station building was at grade level. In 1914 the New York Central Railroad, which the Hudson River had long been merged into, built a new station, the current building, in the Renaissance Revival style. It was placed on metal stilts to allow Main Street to pass over the tracks, eliminating the grade crossing that had been part of the original station.Village of Ossining, , April 2010, pp.
K-182 is a spur route that serves the unincorporated village of Bellaire in east central Smith County. The highway begins at US-36 between Smith Center and Lebanon. K-182 heads north and ends at the grade crossing with the Kyle Railroad in the village of Bellaire. The Kansas State Highway Commission accepted K-182 into the state highway system from Smith County through a November 23, 1955, resolution.
The streets were not given numbers, but descriptions: Railway, Center, and Out. The avenues were given numbers: 1st, 2nd, 2nd 1/2, 3rd, 3rd 1/2, 4th. The railroad grade crossing was on 3rd Avenue, which hence became the city's main drag and was provided with extra width. It was also extended beyond the original plat to the Roman Catholic church to the north-east, with its landmark spire.
Transfer to the PATCO Speedline is available at the Walter Rand Transportation Center. Park and ride service is available at this station, which is near the southeastern plaza of the Burlington–Bristol Bridge. The station contains a pair of non-functioning railroad signals and a sign on the evolution of grade crossing signs in front of a bicycle rack. A similar display can be found at Riverton further to the southwest.
The Embarcadero and Folsom station is a Muni Metro light rail station located in the median of The Embarcadero between Folsom Street and Harrison Street in the Rincon Hill area of San Francisco, California. Muni Metro trains use a high-level island platform, while historic streetcars use a pair of side platforms (The Embarcadero and Harrison) at the southeast end of the station next to the Harrison Street grade crossing.
Between Sterling Place and Park Place, the line rises along a ramp that opened in 1896, and had connected the original line to the Fulton Street Elevated. The elevated railway was rebuilt along the original line's old right-of-way to reduce costs. The line then crosses a bridge over Park Place. Park Place was placed at a lower elevation in 1905 in order to eliminate the grade crossing.
There is almost no development on this portion due to the wetlands; however, there is a grade crossing with the Genesee and Wyoming Railroad subdivision of the Rochester and Southern Railroad. Immediately after crossing Canaseraga Creek, a tributary of the Genesee River, NY 408 meets I-390 at the freeway's exit 7\. Just northeast of the interchange is a junction with NY 63, where NY 408 comes to an end.
The highway crosses Cheyenne Creek and passes very close to but does not enter the Jamestown city limits. East of Jamestown, K-28 has a grade crossing of a Kyle Railroad line and crosses Whites Creek. It then passes Fairview Cemetery as it enters the unincorporated village of Yuma. East of Yuma, the highway closely parallels the Kyle line and a BNSF Railway line that comes to parallel the Kyle line.
The Mount Loretto Spur diverged off of the Main Line south of Pleasant Plains. The branch was a little over a mile long and had a 2% grade. The right-of-way from the Amboy Road grade crossing to Mount Loretto was owned by the Archdiocese of New York, and was not open to the public. Mount Loretto paid for any necessary track maintenance, which was provided by the SIRT.
Pulling a passenger train called "The Owl" and steaming at 70 mph as it approached Selma, California, the locomotive struck a car lodged on the tracks. The impact indirectly caused the locomotive, its tender and seven cars to derail. The engine's pilot was bent on impact with the automobile and caught at the next grade crossing throwing the locomotive off the rails. Both the engineer and the fireman were killed.
Sadek was born in Valley City, North Dakota, in 1993, and raised on his family's cattle farm outside nearby Rogers. In 2005, his older brother and only sibling Nicholas was killed in a grade crossing accident. His family and his teachers described him as being quiet and shy. After graduating from Valley City High School, he began attending North Dakota State College of Science in Wahpeton in 2012.
The grade crossing of the railroad tracks in Kensington was eliminated by the construction of a bypass and bridge in 1936 as well. The section of MD 193 south of MD 410 was marked as US 240 Alternate by 1946, a designation it retained until the 1960s. The segment from the D.C. line to north of MD 410 in Chevy Chase was expanded to a multi-lane divided highway in 1950.
SR 312 heads east from the Illinois state line, as a two-lane highway passing through residential properties. This section is concurrent with Gostlin Street in Hammond. The route turns due south onto Sheffield Avenue and has an at-grade crossing with four sets of Norfolk Southern railroad tracks. After the tracks the highway turns due onto Chicago Avenue and passes through residential properties as a two-lane urban roadway.
Shortly afterwards the Bergen County Line curves right on its new connection to the Erie alignment. The Main Line then crosses over the Hackensack River on the single-track Upper Hack Lift bridge, built in 1958. Double track resumes under the New Jersey Turnpike's western spur after 0.4 mile of single track. The train continues through the Meadowlands and passes the first grade crossing at Valley Brook Avenue in Lyndhurst.
The historical center of the community is found on Nelson Road (County Highway A-28), immediately east of the Union Pacific Railroad, which traverses the area on a northwest- southeast angle. The junction of Hartland Road (County Highway T-68) is found a short distance west of this grade crossing. In terms of geographic coordinates, the community is located at (42.3636315, -88.5073165)Hartland, IL, Lat-Long.com. Retrieved on 2009-05-07.
There is one grade crossing protected by a pair of crossbucks with flashing lights and a mechanical warning bell (no gates). The village received a state grant of $400,000 in 2001 to connect to the Good Hope water supply system and to build a water tower. While Sciota has a water supply system, it does not have a sanitary sewer system; residents rely on septic systems for sewage disposal.
Beyond Brody, the NTSB found some issues with the infrastructure. The traffic signal preemption circuits for both the grade crossing and the Taconic, meant to extend the green signal for vehicles on Commerce when the crossing is activated, were in good working order but it could not be determined which of the two was taking precedence at the time of the accident since there was no recording device. Investigators did, however, find that the circuits gave precedence to the highway signal when its preemption was on, in violation of the federal Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), which mandates that the grade crossing preemption circuit always has priority in situations where a crossing is in close proximity to a traffic light. This did not appear to have contributed to the accident, as Smalls had said there was nothing in front of her and she could easily have cleared the tracks had she become aware sooner of the oncoming train.
North Street in Elkton was paved as a concrete road by 1921. The North Street bridge across the Pennsylvania Railroad (now Amtrak's Northeast Corridor) was constructed between 1930 and 1934. The split segments of North Street leading to the former grade crossing of the railroad were later designated sections of MD 727. North Street was resurfaced with bituminous concrete as part of a 1950 project to resurface Elkton streets that were part of state highways.
It had low-level platforms located to the rear of where the Mowbray and Kew Gardens Plaza Apartments are located today. The eastbound platform had a station building which was designed by James Ware. To the west of the station, there was a grade crossing with Lefferts Avenue (now Lefferts Boulevard). In summer 1879, a new depot was installed at the station, which opened up to a new western entrance to the cemetery.
After New Providence, the line passes its first grade crossing at a 4 way intersection of Central Avenue and Livingston Avenue. This crossing is one of the few 4 way crossing along NJ Transit rail lines. The line then continues, crossing Foley Place and entering Murray Hill station. At Murray Hill, the track splits in two to allow eastbound trains and westbound to pass each other, since most of the line is single tracked.
Immediately behind it, to the south, are the railroad tracks and a rail yard. The current Danbury station is a short distance away, and sometimes Metro-North stores its trains on the tracks behind the station between runs. The museum's collection of older cars is on the tracks in the yard's interior. A grade crossing on White marks the eastern terminus of the Beacon Line kept in reserve by Metro-North for possible future use.
The grade crossing of Main Street (Route 20) at the station was replaced by a bridge slightly to the east around 1931. The station was closed in June 1978 along with Clematis Brook station on the Fitchburg Line and Winchester Highlands station on the Lowell Line. All three stops served only rush hour trains at the time of their closing. The station building is no longer extant, but a short section of platform remains.
SR 646 begins at a stop-controlled intersection with US 250 in Stock Township, Harrison County; about northwest of Cadiz. The intersection is on the shoreline of Tappan Lake. The state route heads northeast towards Scio through a valley formed by a small creek. Once it reaches Scio, the route makes numerous turns, has a grade crossing with an Ohio Central Railroad and the Conotton Creek Trail, and shares a brief concurrency with SR 151.
In 2007, on April 5, a northbound train ran through a wildfire on the Isleta Pueblo reservation. No one was hurt and no equipment was damaged, but officials soon tried to find out why no one received notification of the blaze until the incident actually occurred. On the evening of August 24, a southbound train hit a vehicle at a private grade crossing south of Los Lunas. Two people in the vehicle were killed.
The highway curves towards the east and has an at-grade crossing with a Norfolk Southern railroad crossing. After the second railroad crossing the highway passes through East Rochester. After East Rochester US 30 passes through farmland and woodland, paralleling a Norfolk Southern railroad track. US 30 has a four-way stop at an intersection with SR 9 and SR 644, in Kensington. SR 9 and US 30 head northeast concurrent heading towards Hanoverton.
Service opened on April 2, 1855. The second depot built in September or October 1872 and was burned down on December 9, 1880. The former Corona Park depot from the White Line, abandoned four years earlier was moved to the site as a replacement around 1890 and was itself razed around September 1894. The fourth depot was built in September 1894 and was razed in 1930 due to a grade crossing elimination project.
Just west of the mortuary, Forest Preserve District of Cook County (FPDCC) picnic groves lie on both sides of the road. The Des Plaines River flows southward beneath a concrete bridge. The First Avenue cutoff allows westerly traffic to avoid the Chicago Central & Pacific R.R. diagonal grade crossing and turn right to head north on First Avenue (Illinois Route 171). FPDCC Miller Meadow lies north of the cutoff and extends one mile to Roosevelt Road.
It curves towards the west and re-enters Webster, this time at its northeast corner, before entering the unincorporated territory of Kingman. At first, the road through Kingman is sparsely populated passing mainly through forest areas. SR 170 passes a small farm before crossing the Mattawamkeag River and bending 90 degrees to the west and entering the town center. While making the curve, a railroad makes a grade crossing with the road.
Kentucky Route 332 is a rural secondary highway in central Nelson County. The highway begins at KY 245 (New Shepherdsville Road) at the northwest city limit of Bardstown. KY 332 heads north and then southeast along Nazareth Road. The highway curves east through a grade crossing of an R.J. Corman Railroad Group rail line and follows the north city limit of Bardstown to its eastern terminus at US 31E and US 150 (Louisville Road).
Electrification of the freight network, whether by third rail or overhead lines, was impractical. The NYCRR effectively brought talks to a stalemate by demanding elimination of all grade crossings on the West Side, to allow the same standard of safety and engineering as on its other lines. In November 1925 NYCRR announced a plan to invest $30 million in the electrification of its West Side Line, contingent on the city's decision to close grade crossing.
In July 1948, proposals came to replace the station at Hawthorne, built in 1863, because of the elimination of the Wagaraw Road grade crossing. The new brick station would cost $30,000 (1948 USD). Groundbreaking for the new station and Wagaraw Road crossing occurred on September 14, 1949, and the Erie shifted to the new depot on January 19, 1950. The Erie Railroad received permission on June 9, 1966 to eliminate the agent at Hawthorne station.
A shower was included in the original design, to be locked when the coaches were used in short-haul service, but deleted from the final design. After a grade crossing accident in 1999, the Transportation Safety Board of Canada faulted the layout on the lower level; the exterior door, when opened and locked in position, prevented egress from the wheelchair-accessible bathroom. Two-piece windows are located at each seat row. Each window is .
A Canadian National Railway train showing the placement of the headlight and ditch lights on the locomotive. The lights fitted to diesel locomotives vary from country to country. North American locomotives are fitted with two headlights (for safety in case one malfunctions) and a pair of ditch lights. The latter are fitted low down at the front and are designed to make the locomotive easily visible as it approaches a grade crossing.
Kentucky Route 1399 is a supplemental road in west central Shelby County. The highway begins at the intersection of Veechdale Road and Taylor Wood Road south of Simpsonville. KY 1399 follows Veechdale Road north and crosses over an R.J. Corman Railroad Group rail line; the spur road that parallels the highway on the south side of the tracks is KY 6163. The highway curves east and has a grade crossing of the same railroad.
CR 45 leaves NY 238 just outside Attica, and rejoins the state route about later in Darien. As a result, one road which used to cross the tracks in this area—CR 36—has been cut in half, eliminating the requirement to maintain its grade crossing. After CR 45's western terminus, NY 238 turns more northward again, entering a residential area and terminating at a junction with US 20 in the hamlet of Darien.
It splits into two roads a block later: the upper road, which carries the East Main Street name and becomes known as Old Ridge Road outside of the village, climbs up the side of the escarpment while the lower road, State Street, runs along the base of the ridge. State Street itself splits two blocks later near a grade crossing with the Ontario Midland Railroad, with the eastern fork carrying the Ridge Road name.
It never saw regularly scheduled passenger service, but instead was used for special summer-only trains to the camp. A parallel trolley line was constructed in 1894, vastly reducing demand for the branch line. In 1896, Willow Street (which crossed the branch near the station, and was used by the trolley line) became a public street. The state legislature refused to approve a grade crossing, which were very controversial at the time.
Several blocks after this it encounters a blinker light intersection with Cottondale Road (Unmarked County Road 10A). Surroundings north of there become slightly more industrial and business oriented and this continues as it meets a grade crossing with the CSX P&A; Subdivision, where it turns straight north once more. The route terminates at US 90/SR 73/CR 164, however it also continues north as a local street named Bump Nose Road.
This was the first permanent use of the type of signal on the B&O;–it later became the railroad's standard. A modern signaling system was put into place in the Saint George Yards, allowing one dispatcher to do all the work. The Clifton Junction Shops were updated to maintain electric equipment rather than steam equipment, and a large portion of the yard was electrified. Grade crossing elimination began between Prince's Bay and Pleasant Plains.
Conrail took over the ex-PRR Baltimore-Washington service, soon subsidized by the Maryland Department of Transportation, from Penn Central at its creation on April 1, 1976. Conrail operated service to the station until June 26, 1981. It was closed as the Jericho Park Road grade crossing was eliminated by the Laurel- Bowie Road overpass. Bowie State station was opened on February 27, 1989 as a replacement for the Bowie station, to the south.
The CSX Railway's Charleston Subdivision (also known as the Charleston-Savannah Railway) currently operates both freight trains and passenger trains (via Amtrak) along the lines, but do not stop at Coosawhatchie. The line runs west of Nuna Rock Road, having run parallel to it as far south as Ridgeland, then has one grade crossing with Morgandollar Road (SC 462) until crossing a bridge over the Coosawhatchie River and running through the swampland surrounding that river.
The road enters Lapel and passes the Lapel Middle and Elementary Schools, before an intersection with the former northern end of SR 132. SR 13 turns towards the northwest at this intersection and passes through the center of Lapel. While in Lapel SR 13 has an at-grade crossing with a Central Indiana & Western Railroad track. Past Lapel SR 13 has an all-way stop at SR 32, before curving towards the west.
That same year, some stations (such as Padilla, Florida and Aristóbulo del Valle) were completely remodelled. One year later, the first grade crossing signals and gates by General Railway Signal (GRS) were installed in the main level crossings of the line. In 1972, the first G22 diesel locomotives manufactured by General Motors' Electro Motive Division were delivered to the Belgrano Norte line. These were the CU version, adapted to run on metre-gauge railways.
East of US 421, US 6 passes farms and fields. In rural La Porte County US 6 has an intersection with SR 39 before an at grade crossing with the Canadian National Railway South Bend Subdivision. Past the railroad tracks US 6 becomes a four-lane divided road before an intersection with US 35. US 6 and US 35 head south-southeast and the roadway narrows back to a two-lane highway.
Weber was appointed the Grade-Crossing Commissioner of the city of Buffalo. He held this post from 1888 to 1908. In 1890 Weber was appointed as the first Commissioner of Immigration at the port of New York. On the opening day of Ellis Island, January 1, 1892, Colonel Weber gave a $10 gold Liberty coin to 17-year-old Annie Moore, who was the first foreigner to pass U.S. federal immigrant inspection at Ellis Island.
Upon entering the town limits of Berlin, the state highway curves east to intersect MD 818 (Main Street). MD 346 has a grade crossing of the Maryland and Delaware Railroad's Snow Hill Line track, then intersects MD 377 (Williams Street) immediately before an intersection with US 113 (Worcester Highway). The state highway passes south of Atlantic General Hospital and veers northeast to its eastern terminus at a tangent intersection with US 50.
Linroth 2009, p. 170 The razing and construction of the new depot received mixed reactions by the residents of the town—many of them thought that the depot could be restored. The railway asked the city of Galesburg to remove the grade crossing with Cedar Street, directly west of the depot. In return, the Santa Fe would build the new station, and use the space where the old depot stood for parking.
Two storage tracks are used to store two trains during overnight hours as well as weekends and holidays. The station is located at grade level. There is one grade crossing of a road at the station, which is placed under a Federal Railroad Administration horn quiet zone. As of 2018, McHenry is the 198th busiest of the 236 non-downtown stations in the Metra system, with an average of 85 weekday boardings.
The focus on rail safety by Metra comes from many fronts beyond operations including emergency preparedness and public awareness. The setup of railway platforms, use of grade crossing signals and horn blasts make up a critical system used to communicate movements of commuter trains to pedestrians and vehicles. Outside of these operational components, Metra aggressively pursues safety through public awareness. Metra utilizes its own Operation Lifesaver program and uses it to help spread safety messages.
The former route along Benton Road then became LA 3 Spur until its deletion from the state highway system in 2010. The second and most recent route change occurred in January 2008 upon completion of the Benton Road Overpass, also in Bossier City. This overpass was constructed on the west side of the existing at-grade crossing of the Kansas City Southern Railway which was formerly a source of traffic congestion on Benton Road.
The Kings Island & Miami Valley Railroad has some private grade crossings for the private roads where the workers go on. The private grade crossings have one or two crossbucks. There is also a public grade crossing that has four railroad crossing signals, two gated signals with bells and lights for the public path and two gateless signals with just lights for the private road. This crossing is right next to the Soak City station.
The original North Street overpass of the Pennsylvania Railroad (now Amtrak) was constructed between 1930 and 1934. The bypassed street stubs to the closed grade crossing were designated MD 727 and MD 727A in 1949. MD 268 was assigned to North Avenue after MD 279 was extended west to US 40 to bypass the center of Elkton in 1968. The highway's current bridge across the Amtrak Northeast Corridor was constructed between 1986 and 1988.
The station's exact opening date is not certain, but it is known that the station opened between 1909 and 1911. The station was primarily built to serve the workers of the former Atlantic Terra Cotta factory, from where the station name originated. The pedestrian overpass was built in the 1930s. There used to be a grade crossing adjacent to the station, and at least until the 1970s, a small shanty that protected it still existed.
"Thomas Hovenden lost his life on an unguarded grade crossing of the Pennsylvania Railroad near his home, August 14, 1895, in an attempt to save the life of a little girl who was crossing in front of an approaching engine. Both were killed."Helen Corson Hovenden, "Thomas Hovenden," Historical Sketches: A collection of papers prepared for the Historical Society of Montgomery County, Volume 4, (Norristown, PA: Historical Society of Montgomery County, ), p. 5.
It continues north through more rural farmlands and after another roughly it has an at-grade crossing with a Union Pacific Railroad track. From here it continues north and ends at US-36 west of Seneca. The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) tracks the traffic levels on its highways, and in 2017, they determined that on average the traffic was 915 vehicles per day. The entire route is paved with partial design bituminous pavement.
Later on, the old and temporary work was removed. Two of the four tracks were not yet built between the bridge and 149th Street since the space was occupied by a temporary structure. The grade crossing at 138th Street was eliminated as part of the project. On October 15, 1897, a spacious new station in Harlem was opened at 125th Street, replacing a small station in the old Park Avenue open cut located between 125th Street and 126th Street.
Randolph Road begins at Chapman Avenue and heads east as a five-lane road with center turn lane. The highway has an at- grade crossing of CSX's Metropolitan Subdivision, which carries MARC's Brunswick Line, as the highway passes through a commercial area. Randolph Road intersects Parklawn Drive before passing through a dense suburban residential area. The highway expands to three lanes eastbound at Gaynor Road, gains a median, and gains a third lane westbound immediately after crossing Rock Creek.
The station opened as part of a grade crossing elimination project on the South Beach Branch. This station was abandoned when the SIRT discontinued passenger service on the South Beach Branch to South Beach at midnight on March 31, 1953 because of city-operated bus competition. The platforms continued to remain on this location into the 1960s. South of this station is the Robin Road Trestle, which is the only remaining intact trestle along the South Beach Line.
However, this street is only important on a city level. The first major intersection along the route is US 98 (15th Street). Two and a half blocks farther, the route faces an equally important intersection, specifically a grade crossing with the Bay Line Railroad that runs parallel to US 231. North of US 231, the east side of the road is completely dominated by the Panama City Mall until the intersection with State Road 368 (23rd Street).
Amtrak's Silver Star leaving Tampa Union Station on the Tampa Terminal Subdivision in 2012. The A Line is the northern east–west line which runs from Mango though Uceta Yard to Tampa Union Station and is 8.1 miles in length. It notably passes through Tampa's historic Ybor City neighborhood. The A Line crosses the TECO Line Streetcar track between Ybor City and Tampa Union Station which is CSX's only at-grade crossing with a streetcar track in Florida.
Closing the grade crossing of Lorraine Avenue is being considered for safety reasons. Upper Montclair is the fourth of six stops in Montclair the train makes coming northbound on the line, and the third as one comes southbound. It is 9 stations away from New York, and 8 from Hoboken. A stream, Toney's Brook has its source just to the northwest of the station and separates the northbound platform from the parking lots on either side of the tracks.
Dean Road is a light rail stop on the MBTA Green Line C branch, located in the median of Beacon Street in Brookline, Massachusetts. The stop has two staggered side platforms, the platform before the grade crossing in each direction. Dean Road is located one block from Beaconsfield station on the D branch of the Green Line, offering an easy transfer point. However, the interchange is outside of fare control; passengers must pay a second fare.
The track that formerly connected the yard towards Pforzheim without requiring an at-grade crossing has been closed. Line VzG 4214 connects the bypass to the line to Durmersheim and line VzG 4213 connects to the line to Ettlingen; both are grade-separated in both directions. Line VzG 4215, which connects towards Wörth, is a single track line and initially passes under the Palatine Maximilian Railway and later connects with it at Karlsruhe West at an at-grade junction.
Investigators said they were particularly interested in one of the crash's unusual aspects. "We do have grade-crossing accidents, and most of the time it's fatal for occupants of the vehicles, and not for train passengers," Robert Sumwalt of the NTSB told The Journal News, Westchester County's main daily newspaper. "We intend to find out what makes this accident different." George Bibel, author of Train Wreck: The Forensics of Rail Disasters, agreed that this is uncommon.
At the south end of the Lovingston Historic District, SR 56 turns southeast onto James River Road. SR 56 heads southeast through an at-grade crossing of Norfolk Southern's Washington District at Shipman. The state highway passes through a gap between Findlay Mountain and Thomas Mountain to Red Apple Orchard. At Wingina, SR 56 passes the historic home Soldier's Joy and has an at-grade intersection with CSX's Rivanna Subdivision, then crosses the James River into Buckingham County.
The highway meets the north end of KY 663 (Friendship Road) before entering the city of Auburn. KY 103 enters town on Wilson Avenue, briefly runs concurrently with US 68 Bus. (Main Street), and heads away from downtown on College Avenue. The highway has a grade crossing of a rail line, where the route has a pair of right angle turns, then leaves Auburn at its intersection with US 68 and KY 80 (Bowling Green Road).
The highway meets the eastern end of SC 314 (Bunch Ford Road) west of the town of Holly Hill and SC 310 (Camden Road) just inside the town limits. In the center of town, US 176 has a pair of intersections with SC 453, Eutaw Road and Gardner Boulevard, on either side of a grade crossing of CSX's Charleston Subdivision. US 176 enters Berkeley County by crossing the Dean Swamp, a tributary of the Four Hole Swamp.
US 140 followed Pennsylvania Avenue north out of Westminster and continued along Littlestown Pike. The U.S. Highway followed what is today MD 97 with only minor deviations through an intersection with MD 496 (Bachman Valley Road) and Union Mills before entering Pennsylvania south of Littlestown. US 140 followed its modern course along Queen Street through Littlestown, where it had a grade crossing of the Pennsylvania Railroad line between Frederick and Hanover and intersected PA 194 (King Street).
The trolley ran between Halesite and Amityville until 1919, and was replaced in 1920 by another trolley which only ran as far south as Jericho Turnpike until 1927. Two out of three pedestrian bridges are some of the many improvements to the station in recent years. The grade crossing at New York Avenue was eliminated between 1908 and 1909, which also required the relocation of the original station building, which was located south of the present structure.
Medford station was originally opened on June 26, 1844 when the main line terminated at the former Carman's River station east of Yaphank station. On August 20, 1863, the station burned down, but wasn't rebuilt until 1889. This version was a two-story structure located near an at- grade crossing with NY 112 that was considered one of the most dangerous crossings on the Long Island Rail Road. Demands for a bridge were ignored throughout the 1920s and 1930s.
The state highway continues through the Buckeystown Historic District, where the highway intersects Manor Woods Road and the old alignment of MD 80, Michaels Mill Road, and crosses Rocky Fountain Run. The road runs through rural land and passes to the west of Saint John's Catholic Prep school. MD 85 enters an industrial area as the highway enters the community of Lime Kiln, the site of the road's oblique at-grade crossing of CSX's Old Main Line Subdivision.
The collision resulted in 45 deaths and 332 injuries. Two decades later, Metra experienced its first rail disaster, the 1995 Fox River Grove bus–train collision. This accident involved a collision of a Union Pacific / Northwest Line train and a school bus at a grade crossing resulting in 21 injuries and the deaths of seven high school students. In 2003, another incident involved a Rock Island District train derailing while switching from one track to another, injuring 45 passengers.
The concurrency crosses over the Scioto River and has an at-grade crossing with CSX railroad tracks, before entering downtown Kenton. In downtown Kenton SR 31 and SR 53, is still known as Main Street and is one block east of US 68\. The highway has an intersection with SR 309, on the southeast corner of the Hardin Country Court House. The road passes on the east side of the court house, before having an intersection with SR 67\.
By late 1886, the IU had outgrown its facilities. In November of that year, work began on additional facilities that would be completed by 1888. These included a rearranged and enlarged track system, renewed and additional retaining walls, new bridges, a new head house, office building and train shed, and a below- grade crossing for street railway and pedestrian use at Illinois Street. The head house of Indianapolis Union Station which resulted form this project still stands today.
The road gains a center left-turn lane and passes businesses as it comes to a grade crossing with SEPTA's Route 101 trolley line at the Woodland Avenue station. The route becomes two lanes again and passes near more homes with some patches of woods. PA 420 curves more to the west and comes to its northern terminus at an intersection with PA 320 a short distance to the south of that route's interchange with US 1.
Annadale opened on May 14, 1860, when the Staten Island Railway was extended from Eltingville, one stop to the north. The original station building was replaced in 1910, moved a short distance, expanded into a residence, and finally moved to Historic Richmond Town in 1975. The 1910 station was rebuilt in 1939 as part of a grade crossing elimination project. The station was rehabilitated in the 1990s as part of an SIR-wide upgrade/platform lengthening project.
The construction of a storage yard would have also been necessary if service were to be started. The four station candidates were located at Hopewell Junction, Taconic State Parkway, Green Haven at Route 8, and West Pawling at Route 292. The stations would cost $54–72 million due to the high cost of wetlands mitigation, and because of the possible requirement of a grade-crossing elimination. The line's speed restriction clearly hampers its ability to attract ridership.
The highway has a grade crossing with the Central Maine and Quebec Railway's Newport Subdivision rail line and parallels the rail line to the highway's northern terminus at the Richford–Abercorn Border Crossing at the international border between Vermont and Quebec. The highway continues north from the border crossing as Quebec Route 139 (Chemin des Ormes). which heads toward Abercorn and Cowansville in Brome-Missisquoi Regional County Municipality. The town of Richford maintains the entire length of VT 139.
From the center of town, the highway heads east and descends to the Clarendon River. VT 140 has a pair of right-angle turns as it ascends from the river valley. On entering the town of Wallingford, the highway descends into the valley of Otter Creek, which the highway crosses at the western edge of the village of Wallingford. VT 140 enters the village on Florence Street, which has a grade crossing of the Vermont Railway's north- south mainline.
However, the southbound platform was located to the north of the Richmond Valley Road. In 1940, the grade crossing at Richmond Valley Road was eliminated as the street was raised over the railroad tracks as part of a project to remove grade crossings across Staten Island. The platforms at the station were replaced in 1970. Under the 2015–2019 MTA Capital Plan, the station is undergoing a complete overhaul as part of the Enhanced Station Initiative.
MD 268 was paved as a concrete road from Port Deposit to US 1 at Conowingo Dam between 1930 and 1933; the construction work included repurposing a railroad bridge across Octoraro Creek as a highway bridge. MD 268's bridge across the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad was constructed between 1931 and 1934. The old highway approaching the Aikin grade crossing became MD 449. MD 268 was replaced by a southern extension of US 222 (now MD 222) in 1938.
In November 2000, UP 6936 collided with a dump truck at a grade crossing in Livonia, Louisiana. The accident killed a railroad employee riding in the nose section and the driver of the dump truck. The unit was stored in North Little Rock, Arkansas, until damage to its nose could be repaired. The locomotive's most recent excursion was in 2015, when it helped the UP's trio of EMD E9 units at the annual Cheyenne Frontier Days event.
Past here, the trail heads north and crosses the creek before passing under Pennsylvania Route 232 (Huntingdon Pike). The trail enters Lower Moreland Township and heads across the Pennypack Creek again before coming to a grade crossing with SEPTA's West Trenton Line. The trail heads across the Bethayres Swamp before it reaches Pennsylvania Route 63 (Welsh Road). The trail crosses Terwood Road before it heads across the Pennypack Creek on a long bridge and then enters Bryn Athyn.
The West Shore subsequently became Conrail's River Line, and eventually the CSX River Subdivision which begins to the south at North Bergen Yard. Road access to its Little Ferry Yard is located in Babbitt. The Hudson- Bergen Light Rail extension into eastern Bergen County known as the Northern Branch Corridor Project calls for the closure of the at-grade crossing at 83rd Street and creation of a new one at 85th Street. A 91st Street (HBLR station) is planned.
NY 98 heads virtually due north through Java, remaining in close proximity to the ARA up to the hamlet of Java Center. NY 98 crosses the railroad at a grade crossing just south of the hamlet before meeting NY 77 and NY 78 at a four-way junction in the center of the community. NY 77 continues north from the intersection on Cattaraugus Road while NY 98 joins NY 78 eastward on Main Street, traversing the ARA at another grade crossing on their way out of the hamlet. The overlap extends for across farmlands and through forests to a point once known as Five Corners, where NY 98 separates from NY 78 and turns northward once more. The route continues across a mixture of cultivated fields and forests to North Java, a small hamlet located at the junction between NY 98 and Perry and Wethersfield Roads. Not far to the north is the Java–Sheldon town line, where NY 98 curves to follow a slightly northeastward alignment across Sheldon.
Leaving the roadway right-of-way, after an at-grade crossing on South Redwood Road, the Green Line continues east, crossing Lester Street (South 1595 West), until it reaches the Jordan River. The tracks head north until they cross West Parkway Avenue (West 2455 South) and then runs down the middle of Winston Street (South 1070 West) to River Trail at 2340 South. After that station it continues north for about a half a block before leaving the street via an at-grade crossing and heading east. It immediately crosses the Jordan River (passing from West Valley City into South Salt Lake), and then follows along the south side of the 21st South Freeway (SR-201). After passing the Jordan River Service Center (one of UTA's two TRAX maintenance facilities) on the south, the track use a series of viaducts to cross South 900 West, South 700 West, the north end of Union Pacific's Roper Rail Yard, the UTA FrontRunner tracks, and South 600 West before reaching the "Spaghetti Bowl" (the junction of I-15, I-80 and SR-201).
The line ran south (passing over Campbell Road and under Harvard Avenue) before turning east. After an at-grade crossing of E. 49th Street and the bridging of E. 71st Street, the tracks turned north at E. 76th Street into the company Newburgh Works, terminating at Aetna Road. American Steel and Wire merged with a number of other steel companies to form U.S. Steel in 1901. U.S. Steel consolidated the NSR with another subsidiary railroad, the Bessemer & Lake Erie Railroad, in 1951.
In the adjacent town of Bennington, the route serves the small hamlet of the same name, situated around NY 77's junction with NY 354. North of Bennington hamlet, the highway traverses some swampy areas on its way into Genesee County, where it crosses the Norfolk Southern Railway's Southern Tier Line at a grade crossing just south of the Darien hamlet of Darien Center. In the small community, located southeast of Darien Lakes State Park, NY 77 intersects the cross-state US 20\.
The station opened on February 23, 1886. Formerly a surface station, it and the Port Richmond station one stop east were elevated onto the current concrete trestle in 1935 as part of an SIRT grade crossing elimination project, opening as an elevated station on February 25, 1937. West of the station past Nicholas Avenue, the line recedes into an open-cut. Tower Hill station closed on March 31, 1953, along with the South Beach Branch and the rest of the North Shore Branch.
In March 2015, LIRR president Patrick Nowakowski declared that the LIRR would not proceed with the project without the support of the local communities. Small segments of the third track have been built already or will be built. One segment is between Merillon Avenue and Mineola; this section was built in the vicinity of Herricks Road during the grade crossing elimination project that took place in 1998. Another segment will be built as part of the upcoming station renovation at Hicksville.
South of here, an oblong traffic circle, bisected by a grade crossing of NJ Transit's River Line light rail, is found and has intersections with West Broad Street. South of here, Route 413 continues as a divided highway with one lane in each direction passing through an area of commercial businesses. The road comes to another oblong traffic circle, with intersections at Oakland Avenue, Washington Avenue, and Lincoln Avenue. One house and two businesses are located along the eastern edge of the circle.
The U.S. Highway continues as a three-lane road with center turn lane to the north end of SR 196 (Canal Drive), where the highway becomes five lanes and crosses St. Julian Creek. US 17 enters the city of Portsmouth at its at-grade crossing of another Norfolk Southern rail line. The highway becomes a four-lane divided highway at SR 239 (Victory Boulevard). At Paradise Creek, SR 141 continues along George Washington Highway while US 17 turns northwest onto Frederick Boulevard.
This drew the attention of citizens and politicians to this neglected area. The City of New York announced the West Side Improvement Project in 1934. Robert Moses was at this time New York City's parks commissioner, and he took over the project. Moses expanded it into a grand architectural multi-level entry and exit from the Henry Hudson Parkway, all under the name of the "79th Street Grade Crossing Elimination Structure".. The multi-level structure was designed by Gilmore David Clarke.
The dominant roofline, dormers, arched bow window, and wooden interior are typical of the style. Like many of Richardson's designs, the station was well-praised; Henry- Russell Hitchcock called it a "better and somewhat more personal work" in The Architecture of H. H. Richardson and His Time. A small square baggage room was built in the same style just east of the station, near the Concord Street (Route 126) grade crossing. The station's importance remained through the first half of the 20th century.
The Route 126 depression was deemed to create barriers to walkability downtown, and the recommended alternative was to depress Route 135 under the intersection to prevent it from being affected by trains passing through the grade crossing. Funds have not yet become available for final design and construction. South of the station platforms, the remaining rarely- used stub of the Milford Branch crosses Waverly Street (Route 135) at grade. East of Concord Street, the Framingham Secondary also crosses Waverly Street at grade.
Use of this method made possible a practice known as "feathering", meaning that modulation of the horn's volume was possible through finer regulation of the air valve. Many locomotives manufactured during the 1990s made use of pushbutton controls. In addition, several North American locomotives incorporated a sequencer pedal built into the cab floor beneath the operators position; that when depressed, sounded the grade crossing sequence. Locomotives of European origin have featured pushbutton control of air horns since the mid-1960s.
The first station in the town (then called North Bridgewater) opened in 1846 on the Fall River Railroad. The railroad helped Brockton grow into a major manufacturing center. In the 1890s, Brockton was the site of the state's first major grade crossing elimination program, which included the construction of a massive stone viaduct and a pair of station buildings designed by Bradford Gilbert. Passenger service ended in 1959, and the station was demolished during an urban renewal program in the 1960s.
The other one was east of Medford station on the Main Line. The grade crossing with New York Avenue in Huntington was eliminated in 1909 as that road was lowered below grade. In 1910 and 1911 work was undertaken to reduce grades and eliminate sharp curves along the line between Syosset and Huntington. The project eliminated grade crossings, shortened the line by , and provided two million yards of excavated material that could be used for the reconstruction of Jamaica station.
Kentucky Route 2189 is a rural secondary highway in western Barren County. The highway begins at US 68 and KY 80, which run concurrently along New Bowling Green Road west of Glasgow. KY 2189 heads north along Park City–Glasgow Road, which crosses Little Beaver Creek and intersects KY 685 (Stovall Road) near Stovall. The highway has a grade crossing of the CSX-operated Glasgow Railway before reaching its northern terminus at US 31W (Louisville Road) on the east side of Park City.
Attleboro is a commuter rail station on the MBTA's Providence/Stoughton Line located in Attleboro, Massachusetts. By a 2018 count, Attleboro had 1,547 daily riders, making it the fourth busiest station on the system outside Boston. Attleboro has had railroad service to its downtown area continuously since 1835. The two-story northbound and southbound station buildings, now private businesses, were built during a grade crossing elimination project in 1906-1908 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.
It found that the failure of the third rail to break into smaller segments contributed to the fatalities on the train; while the report ruled out proposed explanations for Brody's behavior such as the placement of her car's gear shift lever, it could not offer any of its own. Despite the report's findings, lawsuits against the town of Mount Pleasant, which maintains the road along which the grade crossing is located, Westchester County, the railroad and the engineer are proceeding.
The next such crossing was Commerce Street, a lightly traveled local road to the north that intersects the tracks diagonally. It continues northwest through the cemetery for a quarter-mile (), then turns north again down a slight rise back over another grade crossing, just north of a brick electrical substation, to a signal-controlled intersection with the parkway. After a crash at the Commerce Street crossing in 1984 that had killed the driver of the van involved, boom barriers had been installed.
After the accident, the MTA began promoting grade crossing safety through a multimedia campaign. It added to its website a page developed in conjunction with Operation Lifesaver (OLI), an organization that works to promote rail safety among the public, particularly at grade crossings. Informational posters, reminding passengers to "Wait Behind the Gate" when they drive through grade crossings, went up in trains and at stations on the Metro-North, the LIRR, and the New York City Subway. The campaign was also spread electronically.
Points (switches or turnouts) are available in a single length right and left hand with manual or electric throw. Crossovers are made in 30° and 90° in 60mm length. Several miscellaneous track sections are also sold including power, isolating, and level grade crossing. The standard sectional track is "roadbed" style, with integrated ballast, or without roadbed as “fine scale”. “Fine scale” track is available in Track without roadbed is available as curved sections of 90° arc length; straight tracks are long.
Right Of Way/Ocean is a light rail stop on the Muni Metro M Ocean View line, located in the Merced Manor neighborhood of San Francisco, California. It opened in 1925 with the first phase of the line. The station is located where the line's private right-of-way crosses Ocean Avenue, with narrow side platforms located on the near side of the grade crossing. The northbound platform is across the tracks from the southbound platform of Right Of Way/Eucalyptus station.

It opened in 1925 with the first phase of the line. The station is located where the line's private right-of-way crosses Eucalyptus Drive, with narrow side platforms located on the near side of the grade crossing. The southbound platform is across the tracks from the northbound platform of Right Of Way/Ocean station.
Kentucky Route 2862 is a supplemental road in central Shelby County. The highway begins at KY 55 (Taylorsville Road) between KY 55's interchange with I-64 and US 60 west of Shelbyville. KY 2862 heads east along Pearce Industrial Road and crosses Dry Run, part of the Salt River watershed. At Old Finchville Road, the highway turns north onto that road and has a grade crossing of the east–west mainline shared by CSX Transportation and Norfolk Southern Railway.
Min Hi Line is named after the Minnehaha-Hiawatha freight rail corridor between Hiawatha Avenue and Snelling Avenue/Dight Avenue. At its northern end, it reaches the Midtown Greenway, and at its southern end it reaches the Minnehaha Falls park area. The approximately pathway would be at- grade, crossing 12 streets along its north–south course. Trail users could connect to many other shared-use paths in the area, such as Hiawatha LRT Trail, Little Earth Trail, and Grand Rounds trail network.
In August 1982, Conrail commuter trains began stopping at Capital Beltway station, which had been used by intercity trains since 1970. This allowed Conrail to close the nearby Lanham and Landover stations. Amtrak and AMDOT (the ex-Conrail service, soon thereafter the Penn Line) abandoned Capital Beltway on October 30, 1983, in favor of nearby New Carrollton, which had been a Washington Metro stop since 1978. The grade crossing was closed to pedestrians at some point after the station was abandoned.
K-67 is a spur route that serves the Kansas Department of Corrections Norton Correctional Facility east of Norton in central Norton County. The highway begins at US-36 and K-383, which run concurrently east–west, and immediately has a grade crossing of the Kyle Railroad. K-67 passes along the east side of the state prison and crosses Prairie Dog Creek before reaching its northern terminus at the next section line road. K-67 has existed since at least January 1938.
Smaller farm requisites and consumables, as well as retail fuel and a diner, are with the office and farm machinery is further on south. Crossing the railroad grade crossing on 3rd Avenue, the first street is Railway. On this to the right is the site of the original Soo Line passenger station, now occupied by a long shed. Opposite this on the east 4th Avenue corner is the old Midland Continental Railroad station, which is now the Midland Continental Depot Transportation Museum.
SR 212 begins at an interchange with US 20, on the east side of Michigan City, as a four-lane undivided roadway. It heads north passing west of Michigan City Municipal Airport while passing through woodland with some houses. The road bridges over the South Shore Line and has an at grade crossing with another railroad track, before passing through a mixture of woodland and industrial properties. The road ends at an intersection with US 12, in the northeast area of Michigan City.
North end The station officially opened on December 13, 1920, as East 241st Street, when the final portion of the line was opened. The line had been extended one stop north from East 238th Street. This portion of the line had its opening delayed, owing to construction on the line between the two stations for the construction of the 239th Street Yard. Additional time was required to modify the structure to avoid a grade crossing at the entrance to the yard.
The underpass under the Tel Aviv - Jerusalem Railway opened in February 2009 The western section was partially opened between Highway 42 and Kfar Gevirol, without the connection to Route 410, on August 18, 2008. It was built as part of a major project to build a grade separation between Route 410 and the Lod - Ashkelon Railway, replacing a dangerous at-grade crossing. The bridge above the railway as well as the junction with Route 410 opened on February 28, 2009.
The National Bridge Inventory (NBI) is a database, compiled by the Federal Highway Administration, with information on all bridges and tunnels in the United States that have roads passing above or below. This is similar to the grade crossing identifier number database compiled by the Federal Railroad Administration which identifies all railroad crossings. This bridge information includes the design of the bridge and the dimensions of the usable portion. The data is often used to analyze bridges and judge their conditions.
By 1997, PA 72 was rerouted north from Lickdale to its present northern terminus at PA 443. In 2011, a $20.2 million project began to replace the at-grade crossing with the Norfolk Southern tracks in Lebanon with bridges over the tracks in order to eliminate traffic congestion that resulted from the frequent train traffic crossing the road. Construction on the northbound bridge started in fall 2011 and was finished in September 2012. Construction on the southbound bridge followed, with completion in 2013.
The highway reduces to two lanes after crossing Soules Swamp into the downtown area and veers north at its grade crossing of the Carolina Southern Railroad. US 701 Business passes through a residential area before reaching a cluster of county offices. The highway meets US 74 Business and US 76 Business at a roundabout that encircles the Columbus County Courthouse. The US 74 and US 76 business routes head west from the roundabout along Washington Street and east as Jefferson Street.
U.S. Route 701 Business (US 701 Business) is a business route of US 701 through Clarkton, North Carolina. The business route begins at US 701 (James B. White Highway) in far northern Columbus County. The two-lane highway heads northeast into Bladen County and becomes College Street, which veers north and parallels US 701 three blocks to the east as it enters the town of Clarkton. US 701 Business intersects NC 211 (Green Street) and has a grade crossing of CSX's Wilmington Subdivision.
The business route intersects NC 24 (Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard) and runs concurrently with the state highway through an industrial area, where they have a grade crossing of a CSX rail spur. NC 24 splits east at US 701 Business's intersection with Warsaw Road. Northeast of downtown, the highway meets the southern end of NC 403 (College Street). US 701 Business continues northwest as Northeast Boulevard before curving north, exiting the city limits, and continuing as two-lane Hobbton Highway.
Shortly after a second grade crossing, LA 12 intersects LA 27, which heads northward along Page Street toward DeRidder. Widening to accommodate a center turning lane, the two highways run east concurrently for two blocks until LA 27 turns south onto South Grand Avenue, heading toward Sulphur. Crossing out of the city limits, LA 12 narrows again to two lanes. It then curves to the northeast to follow the Union Pacific Railroad (UP) tracks for to an area known as Ragley.
The ferry operated between the Hyde Street Pier in San Francisco and the pier, until the Bay Bridge opened. On January 6, 1940, an overpass was opened, carrying University Avenue over the tracks of the mainline of the Southern Pacific along 3rd Street in West Berkeley, eliminating a dangerous grade crossing and traffic bottleneck for traffic coming on and off the Eastshore Highway at University Avenue. Traffic lights were installed at the Eastshore-University intersection as part of the overpass project.
Penns Neck was a former station of the Pennsylvania Railroad, in the Penns Neck neighborhood of West Windsor Township, New Jersey. It opened sometime between 1865 and 1875 as an intermediate stop on the newly completed Princeton Branch line, near its midpoint where it crossed the turnpike that is now U.S. Route 1. The location was originally a grade crossing and later a rail bridge. Penn Central Transportation took over operations in 1968 and discontinued the little-used station on January 31, 1971.
The eastbound connection passed under the City Subway to avoid a grade crossing. Like most trolley companies, Public Service converted its routes to bus lines during the 1930s. The last streetcar line using the terminal upper level was the #1-Newark line to Exchange Place Terminal in Jersey City, which ended on August 1, 1937. The last on the lower level was the #43-Jersey City line, running to Exchange Place Terminal by a different route, which ended on May 1, 1938.
The tracks of the Rosslyn Branch of the Pennsylvania Railroad ran somewhat inland along the Virginia shoreline of the Potomac River. In June 1927, the CFA proposed lowering these tracks by to avoid an at-grade crossing with the proposed Memorial Drive. Since this trench also affected the Virginia road connections to the bridge, studies as to how to best design the approaches were ordered in spring 1927.Office of Public Buildings and Public Parks of the National Capital, 1927, p. 20-21.
Amenities such as Wi-Fi, USB charging stations, artwork, and digital information displays would be included in the renovation. The construction of a new parking structure at Harrison Avenue began in fall 2018, followed by the start of reconstruction on the station itself in early 2019. The Second Street parking lot will also be expanded, and a park and ride parking lot at Main Street would be built. The dangerous grade crossing at Main Street would be closed and replaced with a pedestrian overpass with two elevators.
In 1924, the station was closed and moved to its current location on February 26, 1925, as a grade crossing elimination project brought the tracks below ground by June 8, 1934. Elevators are on both sides. The wall along the southeastern platform has an aluminum sculpture by artist David Saunders that was installed in 2001. The station recently received enhancements and modernizations, including Wi-Fi, new bike racks, and charging stations amongst other things, as part of a greater, systemwide initiative to upgrade stations and infrastructure.
At the intersection of Prim Avenue, SR 77 enters Graceville and becomes Brown Street. The road passes by a civic center, a small industrial park, a children's playground, and an abandoned gas station. North of a small bridge over Little Creek, SR 77 branches off to the left at a blinker light onto Cotton Street. A lumber distributor can be found between Fourth and Fifth Street just south of an abandoned grade crossing for the former Graceville Branch of the Atlanta and St. Andrews Bay Railway.
The next station on the line is Morris Plains, with a 1915 brick station. A local model railroad club is located in the freight house just north of the station. After Morris Plains the line curves through wooded areas, under Route 10, and past several crossings before stopping at Mount Tabor, a small stop in Denville near the community of the same name in Parsippany located at a grade crossing. This stop is served by selected weekday and limited weekend trains and lacks an eastbound platform.
BNSF has received E.H. Harriman Award for safety multiple times. But a number of accidents and incidents have occurred on the railway since its inception. As one of the leading supporters of the Operation Lifesaver program to promote safety at railway crossings and rights-of-way, the BNSF Railway, in 2000, established a grade-crossing closure program. This program, in which BNSF works with communities and landowners to identify unnecessary or redundant crossings, has helped close more than 2,900 of BNSF's railway crossings throughout the United States.
After crossing over Walnut Creek, the route passes The Villages at Westchester, a housing development. At Groveport Pike, the route widens to four lanes wide with a center turn lane after having its entire route be a two-lane road. SR 674 has a grade crossing with the Indiana and Ohio Central Railroad and enters an area with many commercial businesses as it approaches its northern terminus at US 33. Just before the interchange with the US 33 freeway, the route becomes a four-lane divided highway.
Antrim Boulevard forms the southwest leg of the roundabout and MD 140 continues northwest along Baltimore Street into the Taneytown Historic District. The state highway passes to the north of the historic home Antrim and has a grade crossing of the north-south line of the Maryland Midland Railway before intersecting MD 194, which heads north as York Street and south as Frederick Street. MD 140 becomes Taneytown Pike again on leaving Taneytown and crosses Piney Creek. MD 140 crosses the Monocacy River to enter Frederick County.
Laburnum Avenue has an at-grade crossing of Norfolk Southern Railway's Richmond District rail line and intersects SR 33 (Nine Mile Road) west of Highland Springs and east of the historic home Beth Elon. The highway heads north, intersecting Creighton Road, then curves west and intersects US 360 (Mechanicsville Turnpike) within East Highland Park. Laburnum Avenue crosses over CSX's Piedmont Subdivision and passes along the southern edge of Richmond International Raceway between Carolina Avenue and Richmond Henrico Turnpike. Laburnum Avenue continues west into the city of Richmond.
Jonesboro Road has a direct connection to the interstate's South Metro Express Lanes. After the intersection that provides access to the express lanes, there are bike lanes travelling in along the sides of the highway. The route enters the city limits of McDonough, reducing back to a two-lane road without bike lanes just before an at-grade crossing with another Norfolk Southern track. From this crossing west to an intersection with McDonough Parkway, Jonesboro Road is dedicated as the SFC John Beale Hero's Highway.
Wantagh Railroad Complex (also known as the Wantagh Museum), is a collection of old buildings in Wantagh, New York. It consists of the 1885-built Wantagh Railroad Station before it was moved from its original location in 1966, when the Babylon Branch was being elevated throughout the mid-20th century. The station itself was a replacement for original South Side Railroad of Long Island station built in 1867. It also includes a diamond-shaped pre-crossbuck railroad crossing sign, and an old grade crossing gate.
Beginning in the early 1910s, the Pennsylvania received the FF1 but decided it was too slow for passenger trains and was relegated to heavy freight service. In the mid 1920s, they received the L5 electric which had third rail power supply at the time. When the Pennsylvania built the O1 and the P5, they chose the P5 over the O1 for its ability and power on the rails. After a grade crossing accident with the P5, the cab was moved to the center and was designated P5a.
Kentucky Route 685 is a rural secondary highway in western Barren County. The highway begins at KY 1297 (Old Bowling Green Road) at Beckton. KY 685 heads north along Beckton Road, which crosses over the Cumberland Parkway just south of the highway's junction with US 68 and KY 80, which run concurrently along New Bowling Green Road. The route continues north along Stovall Road and intersects KY 2189 (Park City–Glasgow Road) just south of the route's grade crossing of the CSX- operated Glasgow Railway at Stovall.
US 113 continues northeast, crosses Poorhouse Branch of the Pocomoke River, and passes Worcester Technical High School. North of its crossing of Five Mile Branch, the highway veers away from the Pocomoke River and enters the Atlantic seaboard watershed. , the highway enters a construction zone where the route is being expanded to a four-lane divided highway. US 113 parallels the rail line before it intersects the rail line at an oblique grade crossing at Newark Road and crosses Marshall Creek, which flows into Newport Bay.
The PSC had also ordered the elimination of a grade crossing at Great Kills with Crooke's crossing; work on the project was expected to begin shortly. On March 24, 1911, an automatic block signal system manufactured by the Hall Signal Company was put into use between Pleasant Plains and Tottenville, eliminating the need for a telegraph block signal office at Atlantic station. The new signaling system reduced the work required for telegraph operators on the line to report when trains moved in and out of signal blocks.
The remaining section was scheduled to receive the new signaling once the completion of the grade-crossing elimination project in Huguenot and the completion of a second track between Annadale and Pleasant Plains. On March 25, 1913, work began on the double tracking of the Perth Amboy Division between Huguenot and Annadale. Work was expected to be done to complete the second track from Prince Bay to Pleasant Plains shortly afterwards. The automatic block signal system would be extended over the new second track.
Bismarck City Road Map (NDDOT) That line has a spur leading to a grade crossing between East 24th and 26th Streets. The road curves slightly to the southeast then the northeast as it encounters another Soo Line spur west of Eastdale Avenue. The northeastward curve of the road almost ends just before BL 94 turns north onto the "East Bismarck Expressway." BL 94 ends at exit 161, another diamond interchange on I-94/US 83, then turns into a local street named Centennial Road.
Safetran Systems Corporation was a US-based supplier of switch machines, railroad wayside signal systems, rail transit signaling and rail-highway grade crossing active warning systems."About Safetran" on official website (Wayback Machine) The company was a major supplier of freight/commuter rail and transit signal systems with projects on CSX, Norfolk Southern, Union Pacific, BNSF, Amtrak (National Railroad Passenger Corporation), MBTA (Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority), Metra (Chicago), Metrolink (Los Angeles), Metropolitan Transit, New Jersey Transit, New York City Transit, SEPTA (Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority) and others.
The same year, recommendations were made to remove a grade crossing with a junction between the Reading Railroad (now the East Penn Railroad) and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad (now CSX's Philadelphia Subdivision) in Elsmere. In 1927, the state took over maintenance of the highway between the Maryland border and Wilmington via Newark. In November 1931, the Marshallton Cutoff was opened, bypassing the narrow and winding route through the community of Marshallton. This section included a through plate girder bridge over the Red Clay Creek.
On September 28, 2012, the St. Johns River drawbridge in Sanford was closed for 54 hours while construction crews demolished and replaced the bridge approach spans. By the time Phase 1 construction was completed in early 2014, nearly of main line single track were double-tracked, three existing CSX freight yards were reconfigured, wayside signal and grade crossing signal improvements were made along the corridor, a total of 12 stations were built, and a new Operations Control Center and Vehicle Storage & Maintenance Facility were constructed.
These projects started with the first few in Woodland Hills and the NoHo West project in North Hollywood began groundbreaking and construction on April 6, 2017. LA Metro will begin construction on upgrades of the Metro Orange Line in 2021 with at-grade crossing gates and two bridges crossing both Sepulveda and Van Nuys Boulevards. The valley will get its first light rail line in seven decades by 2027, with construction of the line beginning in 2021 along Van Nuys Boulevard and San Fernando Road.
PA 420 becomes Woodland Avenue as it intersects Morton Avenue immediately before a grade crossing with SEPTA's Media/Elwyn Line near the Morton station. Past this, the road heads through commercial development with some homes to the northeast, continuing into Springfield Township. The route heads between woods to the west and residential areas to the east, gaining a second southbound lane as it heads into business areas and crosses Baltimore Pike. Past this, PA 420 becomes two lanes again and continues through suburban areas of homes.
The highway has a grade crossing of the Green Mountain Railroad and crosses the Mill River during its brief concurrency with VT 155. East of VT 155, VT 140 enters the town of Mount Holly and reaches its eastern terminus at VT 103. The Vermont Agency of Transportation maintains the portions of VT 140 along the VT 133 concurrency and east of US 7. The towns of Poultney, Middletown Springs, Tinmouth, and Wallingford maintain the non-state-maintained portions of the highway within their borders.
The Rochester and Syracuse Railroad was a double-track, high-speed line long that ran between Rochester and Syracuse, New York. The tracks paralleled the New York Central Railroad and the Erie Canal and had only one grade crossing with another railroad its entire length. The road was first established as the Rochester, Syracuse and Eastern Railroad in 1909, although a number of miles had been in use since 1906. In 1930, the rail was sold for junk and the line was abandoned in 1931.
View east along MD 169 at MD 170 in Linthicum Maryland Route 169 is the designation for Maple Road, a state highway in Linthicum in northwestern Anne Arundel County. The highway begins at Hammonds Ferry Road and heads east as a two-lane undivided road through a residential area. MD 169 has a grade crossing of MTA Maryland's Baltimore Light RailLink just prior to its intersection with MD 170 (Camp Meade Road). The highway reaches its eastern terminus at MD 648 (Baltimore–Annapolis Boulevard).
The route also runs along a high train trestle over the marshes at the southern end of Manhasset Bay. The bridge stands tall and runs across the bay, offering a view of the Manhasset Bay. Scenes from the silent film serial "The Perils of Pauline" are said to have been shot on the trestle.King Bridge Company Manhasset viaduct Winfield Junction Manhasset Valley bridge, viewed from East Shore Road Manhasset Valley bridge, viewed from below There is only one grade crossing, Little Neck Parkway at Little Neck Station.
View south at the north end of SR 90 at I-81 in Rural Retreat SR 90's southern terminus is at the center of the town of Rural Retreat at the intersection of Main Street and Baumgardner Avenue. Main Street continues south as SR 749 and Baumgardner Avenue is SR 616 in both directions. The state highway heads north and has an at-grade crossing of Norfolk Southern Railway's Pulaski District. SR 90 leaves the town limits and intersects US 11 (Lee Highway) at Staley Crossroads.
On February 3, 2015, Dirks died in the Valhalla train crash. He was riding home in the front car of his train, which his brother says he likely did to take advantage of the quieter atmosphere, when it struck an SUV at a grade crossing north of Valhalla, south of the Chappaqua station. The train dragged the SUV while it came to a stop, loosening segments of the third rail that accumulated in the front car. Dirks, the SUV driver, and four other passengers were killed, making it the deadliest accident in Metro-North's history.
The state highway veers north and enters the town at its intersection with SR 259 Alternate (Broadway Avenue), which splits west toward the center of the town. At Lee Street, the road continues north as SR 42 (Timber Way); SR 259 turns west onto Lee Street and runs concurrently to the north end of downtown Broadway. There, SR 42 turns south onto Main Street and SR 259 Alternate has its western terminus. SR 259 continues west through a grade crossing of the Chesapeake Western Railway and leaves the town.
The rail grade crossing at which Lightning McQueen outruns a freight train on his way to Radiator Springs is protected by a pair of antique "upper-quadrant" wigwag crossing signals which accurately depict those once made by the Magnetic Signal Company in both appearance and start-up. Few are left in actual operation in the United States, and many have been replaced with modern crossing gates, red lights and bells. "Ornament Valley" is a reference to Monument Valley. This is not on Route 66, but is a side trip in northern Arizona.
By Ohm's Law, the voltage measured will be proportional to the impedance. The absolute magnitude of this voltage and its rate of change can then be used to compute the amount of time remaining before the train arrives at the crossing, assuming it is running at a constant speed. The crossing's warning devices are activated when the computed time for the train to reach the crossing is equal to the programmed threshold time. The earliest grade crossing predictors used analog computers to perform this calculation, but modern equipment uses digital microprocessors.
View south along SR 141 (George Washington Highway) near Wirt Avenue in Portsmouth SR 141 begins at an intersection with US 17, which heads south as George Washington Highway toward Chesapeake and northwest as Frederick Boulevard. The state highway heads northeast as a four-lane undivided continuation of George Washington Highway. SR 141 has a grade crossing of a rail line and intersects SR 337 (Elm Avenue) before intersecting Portsmouth Blvd next to the Norfolk Naval Shipyard. That intersection features a jughandle for traffic from southbound SR 141 to the shipyard.
Massapequa Park station is typical of the elevated Babylon Branch stations that were rebuilt during the mid-to-late 20th century. The station originally opened as a platformed shelter on December 3, 1933, east of Massapequa station where Robert Moses wanted to extend the Bethpage State Parkway. It was replaced in 1966 by a temporary station, then in 1968 it received high platforms for the M1. A new temporary station was built to the south of the old one in December 1977 for the grade crossing elimination project.
View south at the north end of SR 107 at SR 91 in Saltville SR 107 begins at the south end of its diamond interchange with I-81 on the southern edge of the town of Chilhowie. The road continues south as SR 762 (White Top Road). The state highway heads north as two-lane White Top Avenue. SR 107 crosses over the Middle Fork Holston River, has a grade crossing of Norfolk Southern Railway's Pulaski District, and intersects U.S. Route 11 (Lee Highway) one block north of Chilhowie's Main Street.
Until 2008 the station had a central boarding platform and could only accommodate one train at a time, necessitating a hold-out rule. That year the station was reconfigured to have two outside platforms and a pedestrian underpass replaced the former at-grade crossing, eliminating the need for the hold-out rule. A fence between the tracks helps keep passengers off the tracks. A ticket vending machine is located at the entrance to the pedestrian underpass so that people can buy or validate their tickets before going to the northbound platform.
Oleg's expertise was centered on security devices, and some of his unclassified work while at MSPL included patents for an ID card identification system that would scramble its coded contents after each use so it could not be copied, as well as a system to jam microphones in rooms being used as secure locations, so they could not be 'bugged'. Other work at MSPL was classified. In 1962, Marquardt was licensed by the Southern Pacific Railroad to design and produce a device called the "Grade Crossing Predictor", developed at Stanford University.
Route 32 begins at the Connecticut state line in the town of Monson in southeastern Hampden County, from which the highway continues south as Connecticut Route 32 toward Stafford Springs. The highway heads north as two-lane Stafford Road and immediately has an oblique grade crossing of the New England Central Railroad. Route 32 crosses the watershed divide between the Middle River and Chicopee Brook. The highway follows the rail line and intersects it south of South Monson, where the highway becomes named Main Street, and crosses over the railroad in Monson.
Positive train control became a Federal mandate with the passing of the Rail Safety Improvement Act of 2008. After review, the FRA waiver was granted in May 2010, marking the first time lighter-weight EMUs were allowed to share rails with freight in the United States. The grant was conditioned on meeting nine additional requirements, including demonstrating minimum crashworthiness, seating, improving grade crossing, meeting FRA positive train control standards in Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations, part 236 with CBOSS, formalizing the temporal separation plan, and issuing a safety system program.
Hawthorne is a railroad station operated by New Jersey Transit in the borough of Hawthorne, Passaic County, New Jersey, United States. It is the northernmost station in Passaic County along New Jersey Transit's Main Line. Trains coming through Hawthorne service Waldwick, Suffern and Port Jervis to the north and Hoboken Terminal to the south, where connections are available to New York City via Port Authority Trans-Hudson and ferries. The station, accessible only by Washington Place in Hawthorne, contains only two low-level platforms connected by a grade crossing.
The Union Hall Street station closed on May 20, 1977. After the merging of Beaver Street station with the new Jamaica Station, the LIRR built a replacement along the Atlantic/Far Rockaway Branch southeast of the former SSRRLI depot. It was named "South Street station" and was located on what is today South Road between 157th and 159th Streets. Originally the site of the "SJ Tower," which was used to keep trolleys and trains from colliding with one another until the grade crossing was eliminated in 1913, it was built on November 15, 1917.
Just north of the river, the highway has a grade crossing of Norfolk Southern Railway's Clover Spur, which follows the former Danville-Richmond rail line, and splits into a one-way pair: Broad Street northbound and Main Street southbound. Both directions intersect SR 304 (Seymour Drive). When Main Street veers northeast as two-way SR 129, southbound US 501 continues on two- way Wilborn Avenue to the northern end of the one-way pair. US 501 continues through South Boston on Wilborn Avenue, a five-lane road with center turn lane.
The highways cross the Roanoke River into the town of Brookneal in Campbell County and pass under Norfolk Southern's Altavista District rail line. The highways continue as Lusardi Drive to Lynchburg Avenue in the center of town; SR 40 turns southeast while US 501 turns north west onto the street just north of the highways' grade crossing of the Durham District rail line. US 501 leaves the town as Brookneal Highway, which parallels the rail line through the communities of Naruna and Gladys on its way to Rustburg, the county seat of Campbell County.
Kentucky Route 1790 is a rural secondary highway in eastern Shelby County. The highway begins at KY 53 (Mount Eden Road) at the east city limit of Shelbyville south of KY 53's partial cloverleaf interchange with I-64. KY 1790 heads east along Hooper Station Road, which crosses Guist Creek, part of the Salt River watershed, and meets the western end of KY 2866 (Woodlawn Road). The highway crosses over I-64 and has a grade crossing of a join CSX Transportation–Norfolk Southern Railway rail line at Hooper.
Kentucky Route 1967 is a rural secondary highway in eastern Woodford County. The highway begins at KY 169 (Pinckard Pike) north of Pinckard. KY 1967 follows Shannon Run Road north by the William Garrett House and the Humphries Estate Quarters through a junction with KY 1966 (Military Pike) to US 60 (Lexington Road) near Gaybourn between Versailles and Lexington. The highway continues north from US 60 along Pisgah Pike, which passes through the same- named community at its grade crossing with the Norfolk Southern Railway and passes by the Pisgah Presbyterian Church.
The conductor of the train cut the train after the first nine cars, and proceeded onward . When the local fire crew arrived on the scene five minutes after the derailment, fireballs were exploding up to 300 feet (90 m) high that were visible for nearly 13 miles (21 km). Fire spread to a nearby feed mill and storage building that were both difficult to access by the fire crew because the derailed train was blocking the grade crossing. High tension power lines were also torn down by the derailment, which caused secondary electrical fires.
Motorists can trace the WB&E; roadbed by following Route 940 west and some sections of I-380 north to the junction with I-80 in Mount Pocono. Long Pond Road near the village of Little Summit intersects with the right of way and was the location of a grade crossing. Following Route 940 west towards Pocono Pines, the roadbed is easily visible along the lake on the right as are remnants from a bridge. Much of the line is preserved on Pennsylvania State Game Lands and is easily hiked.
At approximately 9:47 pm Central (local) time on March 15, 1999, Amtrak's City of New Orleans number 59 was operating southbound through Bourbonnais, Illinois, on tracks owned by the Illinois Central Railroad (four months later, the IC folded into the Canadian National Railway). It was pulled by two GE P40DC locomotives, #807 leading and #829 trailing. 207 passengers and 21 crew members were on board at the time of the accident. While operating through Bourbonnais, the train's engineer observed a semi-trailer truck loaded with steel slowly crossing the tracks at a grade crossing.
The accident was also investigated by Illinois state and local agencies. Stokes had been convicted of numerous traffic violations in the past, and his trucking company, Melco Transfer Inc., had been cited for safety violations. Although the NTSB's investigation placed the fault of the collision on Stokes and his failure to yield at the grade crossing, the Illinois State Police concluded that the crossing lights were flashing, as expected, but the crossing gates were not functioning correctly and failed to be lowered until Stokes had already begun crossing the tracks.
Following the collision, the city of Bourbonnais erected a memorial to the deceased victims at the intersection of Highway 45 and 102, across from the Olivet Nazarene University campus. On January 17, 2006, the Village Board of Bourbonnais voted to permanently close the grade crossing where the accident occurred. A replacement crossing will be built at another location nearby that will, the Village Board hopes, prevent similar wrecks from occurring in the future. At least thirty-one civil cases were filed in various courts against parties involved in the wreck.
The state highway continues southeast through a grade crossing of the Chesapeake Western Railway and expands to a four-lane divided highway just west of SR F-224, which is used to access a country club to the north. SR 262 leaves Staunton and re-enters Augusta County just west of its diamond interchange with I-81. The state highway reduces to two lanes before reaching its northern terminus at SR 254, which heads southwest toward Staunton as New Hope Road and east toward Waynesboro as Hermitage Road.
SR 39 as it heads east into Goshen Pass South of Goshen, SR 39 leaves the rail line after an at-grade crossing and follows the Calfpasture River through a gap between Bratton Mountain and Knob Mountain and passes to the south of Lake Merriweather, an impoundment of the Little Calfpasture River. The two Calfpasture rivers merge to form the Maury River. SR 39 passes through Goshen Pass, a gorge formed by the Maury River through Great North Mountain that is preserved in the Goshen Pass Natural Area Preserve.
Soon after the advent of the automobile, travel speeds were increasing and the popularity of enclosed cars made the concept of "stop, look, and listen" at railroad crossings difficult. Fatalities at crossings were increasing. Though the idea of automatic grade crossing protection was not new, no one had invented a fail-safe, universally recognized system. In those days, many crossings were protected by a watchman who warned of an oncoming train by swinging a red lantern in a side-to-side arc, used universally in the U.S. to signify "stop".
It is located on Sinpatch Road (Dutchess CR 5), next to the crossing of the creek, a short distance east of NY 22/343. Tenmile River is named for the waterway of the same name adjacent to the station as well as north of the grade crossing with Sinpatch Road, and is in nearly the same spot as the State School station (named for a nearby institution for the developmentally disabled, now Taconic Developmental Center) which was closed with Penn Central's abandonment of passenger service north of Dover Plains in 1972.
The elimination of grade crossings continued in the 1930s in all three sub-divisions. On the Perth Amboy sub- division, a large grade-elimination project took place on the southern portion of the line. The project was completed in 1934; new brick stations were built and the single-track portion of the line that ran through Skunk's Misery was double-tracked; the latter requiring a lot of rock fill. The Grasmere–Dongan Hills grade crossing elimination project was completed in 1934. The project eliminated eleven crossings and cost $1,576,000.
In 2006, Operation Lifesaver requested that Disney edit a scene of the Pixar film Cars in which the character of Lightning McQueen races a train to a grade crossing while the crossing lights are flashing. Disney/Pixar has removed the scene in question from theater showings but the DVD release of the movie still includes the scene. On October 14th, 2016, Operation Lifesaver requested via a Facebook post that Hollister Co. remove advertisements from their website showing teenagers walking on railroad tracks. Hollister removed the advertisements five days later, on October 19th, 2016.
New train cars, designed to be compatible with subway service, were ordered, and electric service was inaugurated on the system's three branches in 1925. Through the 1930s and 1940s grade-crossing elimination projects were completed on the three branches. During World War II, freight traffic on the SIRT increased dramatically, briefly making it profitable. In 1948, the New York City Board of Transportation took over all of the bus lines on Staten Island, resulting in a decrease in bus fares from five cents per zone to seven cents for the whole island.
The line begins in North Cambridge west of the Sherman Street at-grade crossing. The branch line proceeds west, and then south, where it has at-grade crossings at New Street, Concord Avenue, and the entrance road to the Walter J. Sullivan Water Treatment Facility at the Fresh Pond reservoir. From there, the line proceeds to several underpasses, namely one below a second road into the Fresh Pond reservation, one at Huron Avenue, and one at Mount Auburn Street, where it then crosses the town boundary of Watertown.
On December 13, 1920, the final portion of the line opened, extending the line from its previous terminal at 238th Street to the line's permanent terminus at 241st Street. This portion of the line had its opening delayed, owing to construction on the line between the two stations for the construction of the 239th Street Yard to the north of 238th Street. Additional time was required to modify the structure to avoid a grade crossing at the entrance to the yard. The station was renovated in 2007 at a cost of $14.46 million.
The road crosses the Elkhart River before entering the town of Millersburg. In Millersburg, SR 13 has an at-grade crossing with a Norfork Southern Railroad track. The roadway passes through a mix of commercial and residential properties before leaving Millersburg. After Millersburg, SR 13 has a four-way stop at County Road 38, before making a sharp turn at a four-way County Road 32 and County Road 39. SR 13 heads east, before another sharp turn, turning SR 13 back towards the north, SR 4 continues west towards the City of Goshen.
In 1893 the station began to serve trains along the West Hempstead Branch. When Nassau County separated from Queens in 1899, Valley Stream station became the first station in Nassau County along the Montauk Branch. The station was electrified with the rest of the Far Rockaway Branch on December 11, 1905, and the Long Beach Branch was extended from Lynbrook station in 1910 and became an extension of the Atlantic Branch. In 1933, the original station was razed as part of a grade crossing elimination project along the Montauk, Atlantic, and Babylon branches.
The Manitou station is one of three stations–along with Breakneck Ridge on the Hudson Line and Appalachian Trail on the Harlem Line–that receives limited passenger service. Like these stations, it serves mainly hikers visiting nearby state parks in the Hudson Highlands. There is no elevated platform and facilities at the station, one of two on the line adjacent to a grade crossing, are limited to a small shelter with the current schedule posted inside. The station predates the merger of New York Central and Pennsylvania Railroads.
Huey Avenue station is a SEPTA Route 101 trolley stop in Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania. It is officially located near Huey and Edmonds Avenues in Drexel Hill, but in reality is closer to the intersection of Huey Avenue and Mason Avenue. Trolleys arriving at this station travel between 69th Street Terminal in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania and Orange Street in Media, Pennsylvania. The station has a P&W-era; stone shed with a roof where people can go inside when it is raining on the northwest corner of the grade crossing.
Two segments of the major passenger rail line following the coast from San Diego north, used by Coaster commuter trains and Pacific Surfliner intercity trains, are to be double tracked. Work began initially on a segment of track between Cardiff-by-the-Sea and San Elijo Lagoon, including replacement of the railroad bridge over the lagoon. In mid-2017, work is scheduled to begin on a similar project near the Batiquitos Lagoon, including a bridge replacement and of new double track. These projects, as well as grade crossing work, are budgeted for $102 million.
In Milo, the FGLK exits the valley and crosses NY 14 at a grade crossing to reach the hamlet of Himrod, situated west of the highway. At Himrod, the FGLK connects to the Norfolk Southern Railway's Corning Secondary, which leaves the hamlet to the north and slowly converges on NY 14\. The two cross about north of Himrod, at which point the rail line turns to parallel NY 14 as both head toward Geneva and points north. After another of nondescript farmland, the route reaches the lakeside village of Dresden.
The shutdowns were for the purposes of replacing defective concrete ties (which had begun failing far earlier than expected) with wooden ones. Tie replacement started in March 2011 and was substantially complete by September, although the full project – which includes grade crossing and bridge work – was expected to take until the summer of 2012. The project was fully completed by 26 May 2012. On March 28, 2012, the MBTA announced that Plymouth/Kingston Line service would no longer operate on weekends, as with the Needham Line and Greenbush Line.
Near the northern end of the strip, the route crosses the main line of the Finger Lakes Railway at a grade crossing. Past the crossing, the businesses give way to mostly undeveloped areas that persist into the neighboring town of Tyre, where it intersects NY 318 in the small hamlet of Magee as Ridge Road. Just north of this intersection, NY 414 intersects the New York State Thruway (I-90) at exit 41\. North of the Thruway, NY 414 maintains a constant north-northwest alignment across rolling farmland into Wayne County.
The portion of the route between DE 273 and Pike Creek Road retained the name Capitol Trail. DE 2 concurrent with DE 4 and DE 896 on the Christiana Parkway in Newark in 2003. The DE 2 designation was removed from this road in 2013. In 1940, plans were made to eliminate the grade crossing with the railroad junction in Elsmere by replacing it with a bridge over the tracks along with a new alignment for DE 2 between the end of the divided highway in Elsmere and Union and Lincoln streets in Wilmington.
Union Pacific #9214, a GE Dash 8-40C, shows the standard UP diesel locomotive livery on May 10, 1991. The yellow paint scheme was introduced in the Spring 1934. Engineers claimed the visibility of yellow would reduce grade crossing accidents. Then, UP introduced its yellow and gray color scheme with red highlights in 1941 and it was reported that it remains the current scheme 60 years later The middle two-thirds of the locomotive body is painted Armour Yellow, a color used by Armour and Company on the packaging of its meat products.
In 2005, however, the railway obtained a haulage agreement with BNSF to allow it to operate to Sioux City, where it could interchange with the Union Pacific Railroad and the Canadian National Railway, making grain service profitable again. After track repairs, service briefly resumed as far as Presho, South Dakota in fall 2007. While the line still officially operates all the way to Kadoka, as the Kadoka-Rapid City portion was rail-banked in 1996, a grade crossing in Vivian is currently paved over, as well as one in Belvidere.
The routes continue to the east along SC 97, running beneath a railroad bridge, and then turning toward the north. SC 9 makes a right turn at Lancaster Avenue, which is the eastern terminus of SC 9 Bus. SC 121/72/97 has an at-grade crossing with another railroad line leading to the city, and then SC 121/72 branches off to the right at Saluda Road (SC 72 Bus.), while SC 97 continues north. The concurrency with SC 72 finally ends at SC 901 in Rock Hill.
New York State Route 409 (NY 409) is a state highway in Schuyler County, New York, in the United States. It is more of a spur route as it is connected to the state highway system at only one end. It begins as a continuation of Station Road at a grade crossing with the Norfolk Southern Railway in the town of Dix and ends in downtown Watkins Glen at a junction with NY 14 and NY 414\. Its western terminus is also the upper entrance to the gorge at Watkins Glen State Park.
A much larger cemetery can be found at the intersection with the north end of Memorial Drive. Just after the intersection with Berea Drive, the road becomes a divided highway again, eventually entering Commerce. The road curves to the east-northeast before encountering another intersection with SR 334 which also begins as the southern terminus of US 441 Bus. in Commerce just before a grade crossing with the same railroad line that followed the route since the area south of Bob Holman Road. North of US 441 Bus.
Just before the junction of this curve with the Soo, a very short stub ran to the Wimbledon terminal station which was erected at 401 Railway Street in 1920. The MICO main line ran up the east side of the little city to the grain elevator at Frazier, on 16 1/2 Avenue SE. Before 1920 the station was on it, on the north side 7th Street SE east of 7th Avenue, and the former grade crossing here still had a "Railroad Crossing" sign in 2013 (removed by 2020).
Police protection to the Town of Beekman is provided by the Dutchess County Sheriff's Office and New York State Police. The DCSO have a substation located in the middle of town. When someone calls 911, the call is routed to the Dutchess 911 center in Poughkeepsie, New York and then police are polled for, and the closest unit responds. The MTA Police also cover the Depot Hill section of Beekman as the Metro-North Railroad Beacon Line passes through town with a grade crossing on Depot Hill Road.
The station opened on April 23, 1860, with the opening of the Staten Island Railway from Vanderbilt's Landing to Eltingville.Poster for opening of Staten Island Railway It was rebuilt in 1889 by real estate developers Hughes and Ross who sought to build a depot designed to attract potential homebuyers. The former stationhouse that was in use until the 1965-1968 grade crossing eliminationNew Dorp - Staten Island Railway station (NYCSubway.org) was moved to Historic Richmond Town, located at the three-way loop intersection of Arthur Kill Road, Richmond Road and Richmond Hill Road.
Following a town vote the previous year, Groton station was established at Flannigan's Crossing (Groton-Harvard Road). The station was located on the southwest corner of the grade crossing, with a freight house just to its west and a woodshed (to supply early wood-burning locomotives) across the tracks. Three more railroads followed in short succession. The Stony Brook Railroad opened from Ayer to North Chelmsford with service to Lowell in July 1848; it ran parallel to the Fitchburg for several miles east of downtown Ayer before branching to the northeast at Stony Brook Junction.
An island platform was constructed around that time between the two Fitchburg main tracks east of the diamond crossing to serve commuters to Boston. In 1906, East Main Street was rerouted onto a bridge east of the station, eliminating traffic problems caused when trains blocked the grade crossing. The old Stony Brook freight house and engine house were removed as part of the construction. Two signal bridges built at right angles over the junction in the 1910s and an interlocking tower built in 1929 controlled the various train movements across the complex junction.
US 20 and NY 5 become West Main Street upon entering the village, underscoring the road's status as the primary east–west highway through the town. The route continues southeast from the Genesee, passing through the forested but sparsely populated western area of the village. As the route approaches the Livonia, Avon and Lakeville Railroad (LAL) grade crossing, the number of homes increases rapidly, only to be replaced by businesses in the area surrounding the LAL mainline. Located on the western edge of this transition is NY 39, which terminates at this junction.
MD 834 at US 301 near Price Maryland Route 834 is the unsigned designation for Hayden Clark Road, a highway near Price that runs between a T intersection with Granny Branch Road and White Marsh Road east to an at grade crossing with the Centreville Branch of the Northern Line of the Maryland and Delaware Railroad, where the highway continues east as Hayden Road. MD 834 intersects both directions of US 301 and provides access to the Bay Country Welcome Center in the wide median of US 301.
The station opened on June 2, 1860 with the opening of the Staten Island Railway (SIR) from Annadale to Tottenville. The opening of the station gave the surrounding area a separate identity from Tottenville. While it had been considered part of Tottenville, it became its own neighborhood once the area was named Richmond Valley by the SIR. The station consisted of a wooden stationhouse and a ticket office, which were located on the northbound platform, which was located to the south of the Richmond Valley Road grade crossing.
Business Loop 35 in Clear Lake, Iowa runs between Exits 193 and 194 on Interstate 35. The route begins at Exit 193 where it runs west along Fourth Avenue South (former IA 106), until the intersection with North Eighth Street (former IA 107) and turns north. Immediately after a grade crossing with a former Milwaukee Road railroad line, the route makes a right turn overlapping US 18. The route follows US 18 which itself runs parallel to that old Milwaukee Road line until it curves away after North 14th Street.
Instead, a 4-mile extension to a previously considered station in West Fitchburg was recommended. The Fitchburg Commuter Rail Line Service Expansion Study was released in February 2005, drawing off the PMT conclusions. Recommended short- range improvements included station consolidation, track upgrades, and station improvements; longer-term projects included double-tracking, increased service frequency, and an extension to Wachusett or Gardner. The report priced out $55 million in infrastructure upgrades including double tracking through downtown Waltham and from South Acton to Willows, signal improvements, rebuilding Littleton/Route 495 station, and grade crossing modifications.
An extension to Wachusett was to cost $39 million, with Gardner costing an additional $50 million. As an immediate change, the MBTA began running express trains on the line. The Fitchburg Commuter Rail Line Improvement Implementation Plan, released in September 2005, included a longer list of possible improvements, and outlined a goal of reducing travel time between Porter Square and Fitchburg to one hour. The $300 million list included high-level platforms at all stops from Porter to Littleton, grade crossing eliminations, a flyover at Willows, and stop consolidations.
In 1908, a massive grade crossing elimination project was completed with a 4-track line from south of Church Avenue station to Neptune Avenue near the Coney Island Creek, permitting true local and express service, as pioneered on the New York City Subway that opened in 1904. The Brighton Beach line was also converted to electrified third rail. Brighton Beach local and express service was extended to a new West End terminal at Stillwell and Surf Avenues, the location of the Coney Island terminal for the BMT Southern Division, in May 1919.
After the intersection with SR 613 the road crosses a Norfolk Southern Railroad track and makes a sharp turn due east. The highway heads east, before another sharp curve due north. The road enters Hamler from the south, passing through residential properties and has an at-grade crossing with CSX Railroad tracks. North of the tracks the road has an intersection with SR 18, this intersection is the southern end of the SR 18 concurrency. The concurrency leaves Hamler heading north through farmland, until SR 18 turns due west and SR 109 continues due north.
Sharon is located on Secondary State Route 79/3, locally known as Cabin Creek Road. Exit 79 of Interstate 77 is located here; no services are available at the exit. Until the 1980s, a rail spur ran from the CSX railroad tracks up a short hollow, serving a coal mine tipple. The remnants of the tracks and rail bed can still be seen at present day along Paint Branch, however, no sign remains of the at-grade crossing of Cabin Creek Road or the trestle that crossed Cabin Creek.
Engine #1501, a 4-8-4 live steam locomotive in 1972, the final year of operation for the Centerville & Southwestern Railroad. The engine has just been turned on the turntable (out of view on right) and has paused under the signal bridge near Centerville Station. The grade crossing runs between the ticket booth (adjacent to turntable, also out of view to the right) and Centerville Station (out of view to left). The engine is about to reverse direction and back up to couple with the train that is waiting with passengers in the train yard.
The line beyond Los Alamos was dismantled in 1936, and the branch lines were dismantled in 1937. In 1938 locomotive number 106 was destroyed in a grade crossing collision with a gasoline truck, and the last three coaches and a baggage car were sold to the White Pass and Yukon Route. A single combine car numbered 106 was the last piece of passenger equipment. The United States Navy bought the boxcars for use at Naval Station Pearl Harbor when operations ended in 1941; and locomotive number 111 went to the Oahu Railway and Land Company.
A 1.5 mile stretch of the original roadbed remains, however it is unused and is not maintained by ODOT or any of the surrounding cities. In 2012, the only bridge over the abandoned stretch, Pine Street, was removed and replaced with a grade crossing. Interstate 44 is also known for being crossed by the 1999 Bridge Creek-Moore tornado on May 3, 1999 during the 1999 Oklahoma tornado outbreak, and by the 2013 Moore tornado on May 20, 2013 during the tornado outbreak of May 18-21, 2013.
No. 90 was built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in June 1924, in Philadelphia. it originally pulled sugar beet trains of about 40 to 50 cars length for the Great Western Railway of Colorado to the company's towering mill in Loveland, Colorado. No. 90 was the Great Western's largest and most powerful road locomotive, and saw extensive use on trains too large for the company's fleet of 2-8-0s. In 1944, No. 90 was hit by a truck at a grade crossing and knocked onto its fireman's side, killing both the fireman and the truck driver.
View east along MD 277 at MD 316 near Elk Mills MD 277 begins at an arbitrary point on Elk Mills Road in the community of Elk Mills about west of the entrance to Elk Mills Community Park. Elk Mills Road continues west as a county highway toward MD 213. MD 277 heads east as a two-lane undivided road and has a grade crossing of CSX's Philadelphia Subdivision. The highway crosses over Big Elk Creek and passes along the northern edge of the Elk Mills Quarry before intersecting Appleton Road, which heads south as MD 316.
NTSB investigator examines truck involved in the crash NTSB investigator examines wreckage The accident occurred at 5:44 a.m. local time (13:44 UTC) when a passenger train collided with a 2005 Ford F-450 pick-up truck and trailer on the Rice Avenue grade crossing in Oxnard, California. The train derailed, with three cars falling onto their sides and a fourth remaining upright, as did the locomotive which was pushing the train from the rear. The train was traveling from East Ventura to Los Angeles and was accelerating after leaving the Oxnard station away from the crash site.
Although it was initially stated that the truck became stuck on the tracks, NTSB later clarified that it is unclear if the vehicle was stuck and that it was not a typical grade crossing incident where a vehicle is crossing the tracks and is stopped or struck before completing the crossing. The vehicle was not in the crossing nor between the crossing arms. The Federal Railroad Administration opened an investigation into the accident, the twelfth at the crossing in ten years. An average of eight passenger and 24 freight trains use the line in each direction each day.
Looping through Valparaiso as Government Avenue and the John Sims Parkway into Niceville, SR 85 turns north at the intersection with State Road 20, passing College Boulevard, another removed Eglin AFB railroad grade crossing, and the intersection with State Road 293 Mid-Bay Bridge Connector. Continuing north, there is an at-grade intersection with the northbound terminus of State Road 123, although this will be replaced by flyovers and ramps with a completion date of 2016. SR 85 continues north through a grade- separated intersection at 77th Special Forces Way, serving the cantonment for the 7th Special Forces Group and Duke Field.
The station was opened by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad on February 23, 1886, as a wooden surface station, with two high-level side platforms. Between Port Richmond and West Brighton, the line crossed an eight-foot high suspension bridge over Bodine Creek. The low clearance of the bridge attracted some individuals to fish and crab from the trestle, leading to several accidents. Beginning in 1935, the Port Richmond station and Tower Hill one stop west were elevated onto a concrete viaduct structure known as the Port Richmond Viaduct as part of the grade-crossing elimination project of the SIRT.
Trolleys arriving at this station travel between 69th Street Terminal in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania and Sharon Hill, Pennsylvania. The station contains an open concrete shelter on the northbound platform of the tracks with a connecting sidewalk between two houses on Blanchard Road. On the opposite side, the southbound platform can be found in front of a parking lot for a housing project across from the intersection of Cheswold and Lasher Roads. A vacant lot on the southeast corner of the Burmont Road grade crossing could have served as the site of a former station house in the past.
View east along SR 139 at SR 630 in Jarratt SR 139 begins at a three-way intersection with SR 610 (Allen Road) and Grigg Avenue in the western part of the town of Jarratt. The state highway heads northeast as two-lane Allen Road, which intersects a railroad spur that serves the adjacent Georgia-Pacific plant. SR 139 turns southeast onto Jarrett Avenue, which passes through a residential area and crosses the rail spur again. Shortly after crossing the Greensville-Sussex county line, the state highway has an at-grade crossing of CSX's North End Subdivision.
All grade crossing predictors rely on the changes in the electrical characteristics of the rails that occur as a train approaches the point at which the predictor is connected to the rails (the feedpoint). A railroad track occupied by a train or other electrical shunt can be viewed as a single-turn inductor shaped like a hairpin. As the train approaches the feedpoint, the area enclosed by the inductor diminishes, thus reducing the inductance. This inductance can be measured by connecting a constant-current alternating current source to the rails, and measuring the voltage which results.
At Providence Forge, SR 155 curves northwest through an oblique grade crossing of CSX's Peninsula Subdivision, veers west on Boulevard Road, then makes a right-angle turn north and intersects US 60 (Pocahontas Trail). The state highway intersects Kentland Trail, which leads east to several golf courses and horse-racing facility Colonial Downs, just south of its diamond interchange with I-64 and its companion SR 33. SR 155 passes to the east of the historic home Criss Cross before reaching its northern terminus at SR 249 (New Kent Highway) at Carps Corner a short distance west of New Kent.
View west along SR 158 in Coeburn SR 158 begins at a right-in/right-out interchange with westbound US 58 Alternate (Norton Coeburn Road) in the town of Coeburn. The state highway heads east as Front Street to its intersection with SR 72 (Laurel Avenue) and SR 813 (2nd Street); the latter street connects SR 158 and eastbound US 58 Alternate. SR 158 and SR 72 run concurrently through a grade crossing of a rail spur from Norfolk Southern Railway's Clinch Valley District and enter downtown Coeburn. East of downtown, SR 72 turns south onto Dungannon Road.
New through service running between Valley Stream and Mineola began on the West Hempstead Branch the next day. The freight sidings, however, were not electrified until 1927 and 1928.The connection to the Oyster Bay Branch was severed in 1928, while the portions of the line between Mineola and Country Life Press and between Country Life Press and West Hempstead were taken out of revenue passenger service in June 1935 due to the costly grade crossing elimination improvements imposed upon the LIRR by the Interstate Commerce Commission, as well as the New York Public Service Commission.
This meant that no more through service between Valley Stream and Mineola could operate. It was anticipated that the Oyster Bay Branch would be electrified next, and in November 1928, railroad officials investigated the possibility. However, due to high costs, with the electrification of the branch necessitating grade-crossing elimination, the plan was shelved. In the 1930s, the use of the Manorville Branch for service between the forks declined, and limited service using the line continued into the World War II years, and in 1946 the line was removed from timetables, and it was no longer used after March 3, 1949.
SR 729 breaks away and heads south at South Street but Routes 41 and 734 continue east towards the eastern extents of town. After having a grade crossing with an Indiana and Ohio Railway railroad, the routes pass two industrial facilities and some commercial businesses as they approach I-71's exit 69. The interchange with the Interstate highway is a simple diamond-interchange allowing for full-access between the surface roads and the freeway. Shortly after the interchange, SR 734 turns left off of SR 41 which continues south towards Washington Court House ending the concurrency.
Politically he was an old school Democrat and he was elected mayor of Atlanta in October 1900. The election came in the midst of Atlanta's streetcar war; he was supported by Joel Hurt (Atlanta Consolidated Street Railway Company) and opposed by Henry M. Atkinson (Georgia Electric Light Company). On October 9, 1901 he rode in the inaugural streetcar over the Peachtree-Whitehall viaductbefore then it was a dangerous at-grade crossing of many busy railroad tracks. His two-story residence was on the northeast corner of Peachtree St and Ponce de Leon Avenue (current location of the Georgian Terrace Hotel).
View south along MD 307 at MD 313/MD 318 near Federalsburg MD 307 begins at a five- way intersection in the town of Hurlock. Oak Street is the west leg of the intersection, while Main Street, which is MD 331 to the south, forms the north and south legs of the intersection. MD 331 heads northwest on Academy Street. MD 307 heads east as two-lane undivided Broad Street through an industrial area after a grade crossing with a spur of the Seaford Line of the Maryland and Delaware Railroad, which the state highway begins to parallel closely as it leaves Hurlock.
Drexelbrook station is a SEPTA Route 101 trolley stop in Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania. It is officially located near Stanbridge Road and Woodland Avenue in the Drexelbrook area, however the actual grade crossing and platforms are on Wildell Road south of Woodland Avenue and north of Revere Road and Drexelbrook Drive. Trolleys arriving at this station travel between 69th Street Terminal in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania and Orange Street in Media, Pennsylvania. The station has a shed with a roof where people can go inside when it is raining on one platform and a bench on the other.
This configuration would last until the late 1960s when SR 12 was truncated and the segment between Fremont and SR 101 was redesignated SR 412. Near the southern city limits of Sandusky, SR 101 formerly traveled on a straight line along Tiffin Avenue where it began a concurrency with US 6 at Venice Road and Sanford Street. Because of long-time concerns about a grade crossing with the Norfolk Southern railroad at Tiffin Street and nearby Venice Street (which carried US 6 at the time). The project to realign the two highways began in 2010 and was completed four years later.
Along the way, North Spring Garden Boulevard encounters a grade crossing with CSX DeLand Spur, and former industrial areas can be found in the vicinity of the crossing between Wisconsin and Minnesota Avenues, primarily along the east side. North of Plymouth Avenue, the road changes from a four- lane undivided highway to a four-lane divided one. The truck bypasses for US 92 and SR 44 along SR 15A end at the intersection of Volusia County Road 92 (International Speedway Boulevard), across the street from Grantham Way, the latter of which is the entrance to the Glenwood Springs residential community.
Just before River Avenue reaches the at-grade crossing with the Montauk Branch of the Long Island Rail Road, CR 65 turns east one last time at the intersection of Division Avenue, which runs directly along the south side of the tracks. Before crossing the Patchogue River, CR 65 move slightly away from the edge of the tracks, but not far enough away to be out of sight from the tracks. CR 65 ends at CR 19 (West Avenue). Consequently, CR 19's southern terminus is also at this intersection, but West Avenue continues south as a Patchogue Village street to Patchogue Bay.
In 1927, plans were made to replace the grade crossing at the Pennsylvania Railroad line (now Amtrak's Northeast Corridor) in Newport with an underpass under the tracks. Work on this underpass began in 1929. The crossing under the Pennsylvania Railroad was finished and opened to traffic in June 1930. In 1929, the Gap Road was upgraded to a state highway. Northbound DE 41 (Lancaster Pike) in Hockessin DE 41 was designated to run from US 40 (now DE 9/DE 273) in New Castle north to PA 41 at the Pennsylvania border in Hockessin by 1936.
Prior to 2004, the section of the line west of the East Prairie Road grade crossing was electrified with overhead catenary instead of third rail. One of the distinctive features of the five-mile (8 km) line was that approximately half was equipped with third rail while the other half was equipped with catenary left over from the Chicago North Shore & Milwaukee Railroad. Trains switched non-stop from third rail to overhead and vice versa using distinctive pan trolleys designed by Skokie Swift Project Manager George Krambles. On February 9, 1992, Saturday service was discontinued during a service reduction by CTA.
After winding through three of the town's earliest buildings, guests enter the Comfy Caverns Motor Court, where they board a convertible race car and the ride portion of the attraction begins. Leaving the motor court, the vehicle takes an idyllic drive through Ornament Valley. It then enters the darkride portion of the attraction as guests nearly run into several Audio-animatronic vehicles. This starts with a near head-on collision with Mack (similar to a scene on the original Test Track), followed by near- misses with Minnie and Van, and narrowly making it over a grade crossing ahead of a speeding train.
The full-length platform would eliminate the need for the long Amtrak trains to double-stop at the station. However, Norfolk Southern (which owns and operates the line) was concerned about the platform location. Waterloo station building in June 2016 A second proposal was created to build a modern station building and platforms east of North Center Street, on the opposite side of the grade crossing from the existing station. This station was to cost $6 million, funded by the 2010 TIGER grant plus $4 million from Amtrak, and begin construction in early 2013 for a 2014 opening.
The FEC line that runs along this segment has a grade crossing southwest of this, and runs parallel to that route. Though not necessarily state or county roads, some of the more prominent intersections in town include Larrimore Road and South Barfield Highway. Further downtown, the road makes a left turn to the south from Main Street to Lake Avenue and a block later serves as the northern terminus of State Road 715 across from the Pahokee City Hall, which also continues onto East First Street. At the intersection of McClure Road, Lake Avenue curves to the east and becomes East Seventh Avenue.
After this, it curves to the northwest as it begins to run along the west side of the CSX Brooksville Subdivision, and both share an underpass with no access to I-275. Entering Lutz, the at-grade interchange with the northern end of BUS US 41(Hidden SR 685), is where US 41 becomes six lanes wide. Most intersections beyond this point are only of local importance. Nevertheless, US 41 crosses the Brooksville Subdivision at a sharply diagonal at-grade crossing, and both curve to the right, where they both run straight north through the rest of Lutz.
US 522 turns west onto Millwood Pike, and the three U.S. Highways enter the independent city of Winchester within the southbound side of the partial cloverleaf interchange. US 522, US 17, and US 50 follow four-lane divided Millwood Avenue along the south side of the campus of Shenandoah University. West of Abrams Creek, the four-lane divided highway continues west as Jubal Early Drive; the three U.S. Highways turn northwest onto a two-lane continuation of Millwood Avenue. The routes cross Town Run and have an oblique grade crossing of CSX's Shenandoah Subdivision rail line.
The Boston and Providence Railroad (B&P;) was extended south from Dedham Lodge to Canton on September 12, 1834. The B&P; opened Green Lodge station, located at the crossing of the eponymous street near the tripoint of Canton, Dedham, and Westwood, around 1860. The B&P; was leased by the Old Colony Railroad in 1888, and in turn by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad in 1893; Green Lodge station was closed in the mid-1920s. The grade crossing was replaced with a bridge around 1932 as part of the construction of the original Circumferential Highway.
The investigators consulted with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and found neither recalls nor complaints related to the shifter positioning or operation. They noted that the motions required for drive and reverse on the test ML350 were similar to those required for a floor-based shifter, and concluded there was "insufficient evidence" that the column-mounted shifter was a factor in the accident. While the Mercedes was equipped with a GPS navigation system, Brody's husband was not sure whether she used it. Had she done so, it might have provided additional warning that a grade crossing was nearby.
Unusual platform layout Lincoln has an unusual configuration, largely unique on the system (though similar to Waltham). The station has two side platforms, both adjacent to the outbound track but on opposite sides of the Lincoln Road grade crossing. Outbound trains stop at the north platform, while inbound trains stop opposite the south platform and passengers use two asphalt crossings to board. The configuration was made to minimize the number of stopped trains that block Lincoln Road, as the town emergency services are based nearby and Lincoln Road is the most direct route to the town center.
On January 26, 2005, at 6:03 a.m. PST, southbound Metrolink commuter train #100 collided with a sport utility vehicle that had been abandoned on the tracks immediately south of the Chevy Chase Drive grade crossing and near a Costco retail store on the Glendale-Los Angeles boundary, in an industrial area north of downtown Los Angeles. The train jackknifed and struck trains on either side of it—one a stationary Union Pacific freight train, and the other a northbound Metrolink train (#901) traveling in the opposite direction. The chain-reaction collisions resulted in the deaths of 11 people.
Since 1976, widening of SR 1 beyond one lane in each direction has been prohibited in rural areas within the California Coastal Zone, per California Public Resources Code section 30254. In 2014, Caltrans relinquished the portion of SR 1 in Oxnard along Oxnard Boulevard. The plan is then for PCH between Pleasant Valley Road and US 101 to be re-routed from Oxnard Boulevard onto Rice Avenue. That segment of Rice Avenue includes a railroad grade crossing at 5th Avenue that was the site of the February 2015 Oxnard train derailment, which eventually led to one death and 29 injuries.
The impoundment of Anacoco Creek in 1963 necessitated the construction of two new bridges across what was now the wider Vernon Lake. The bridges were constructed in 1966 just north of the former creek crossing and allowed a slight straightening of the roadway at that point. In 1992, the replacement of a bridge across Mill Creek at Almadane led to a curve in the roadway being bypassed there. In the late 1990s, a portion of LA 111 heading into Anacoco was relocated, eliminating several zigzags and a right-angle turn next to the KCS Railway grade crossing.
State Route 285 ran along present secondary SR 641 (Penniman Road), southeast for from the US 60 bypass around Williamsburg. It was added to the primary state highway system in 1933, initially running east from US 60 near Quarterpath Road and crossing the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway's Peninsula Subdivision at a grade crossing, but a new alignment was built on the north side of the tracks and the mile of approved road was reapplied such that only about of the preexisting Penniman Road was included in SR 285. The route was downgraded to secondary in 1943 as an extension of existing SR 641.
Louisiana Highway 3261 (LA 3261) ran in a north–south direction along Shrewsbury Road from Lausat Street to the junction of US 61 (Airline Drive) and LA 611-9 (Severn Avenue) in Metairie. It was an undivided two-lane highway for its entire length. The route was formerly part of LA 611-3, which originally included the entirety of Shrewsbury Road, including a grade crossing with the Illinois Central Railroad line (now the Canadian National Railway). The crossing was closed to traffic in June 1957 following the completion of the parallel Causeway Boulevard (LA 3046) overpass.
About two blocks east of the bridges carrying the Union Pacific railroad, FrontRunner railroad, and I-15 over the route, there is also a grade crossing with TRAX's Blue and Red lines next to Millcreek station. Just before reaching former SR-181, SR-171 becomes much steeper than at any point to the west (other than when it ducks under the Union Pacific-FrontRunner right-of-way), and from there it continues to climb the East Bench foothills until its terminus at I-215 in Millcreek. The entire route is included as part of the National Highway System.
US 378 intersects SC 28 (Mine Street) on the west side of downtown; US 221 leaves its concurrency with SC 28 coming from Augusta and joins US 378 through the downtown area. The U.S. Highways have a grade crossing of CSX's McCormick Subdivision and diverge on the east side of town, with US 221 heading northeast as Greenwood Highway. US 378 leaves McCormick, passes McCormick County Airport, and forms the southern boundary of Sumter National Forest east of the town. East of Liberty Hill, where the highway fully enters the national forest, the road crosses the McCormick–Edgefield county line.
Penn Central's continuous financial despair throughout the 1970s forced them to turn over their commuter service to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority which made it part of Metro-North in 1983. The station itself which dates back to 1931, is located next to downtown Brewster, on US 6. Since parking on the nearby streets is extremely limited, a large parking lot slightly uphill from the station serves commuters. Smaller parking lots are located along eastbound US 6 and on a private road named Ellen Avenue, where it is also notable for having a grade crossing right next to the station, like Katonah.
Four stations—Great Kills, Eltingville, Annadale and Huguenot—were completely replaced with new stations along the rebuilt right- of-way. The project started on July 13, 1938, and was completed in October 1940. The stations themselves were completed in 1939, and therefore have the date 1939 inscribed either on road overpasses or on railroad bridges. In that same year, grade crossing eliminations were completed in Richmond Valley and Tottenville. The Richmond Valley project eliminated the crossing at Richmond Valley Road and cost $300,000 while the Tottenville project eliminated seven crossings—including one at Main Street—and cost $997,000.
It continues eastward and after another it crosses into Gray County. About into Gray County it intersects RS-285, also known as Plains Road or Dice Street. From here it continues for another through flat rural farmlands before reaching an at grade crossing with a Cimarron Valley Railroad track then intersecting its eastern terminus at US-56. The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) tracks the traffic levels on its highways, and in 2017, they determined that on average the traffic varied from 775 vehicles per day near the western terminus to 865 vehicles per day near the eastern terminus.
McMickle Cut, the first major cut west of Port Morris Junction on the Cut-Off, begins just west of County Road 602 (site of a future grade crossing) in Hopatcong. Sussex County Road 605 (Sparta-Stanhope Road) crosses over the Cut-Off about midway between the ends of the cut (MP 47.8), near its deepest point, where the line is on a 2° curve (70 mph, 113 km/hr).Map of Hopatcong-Slateford Cut-Off, dated September 1, 1906. Formerly, CR 605 crossed the Cut-Off on a one-lane bridge that was completed in 1911.
The Sayre business loop of Interstate 40 is the second business route of I-40 in Oklahoma. It runs north from exit 20 overlapping much of U.S. Route 283 as a four-lane divided highway until the intersection with Greer Avenue where it becomes four-lane undivided highway. The sole major intersection downtown is West and East Main Streets, which are part of Oklahoma State Highway 152. Between Maple and Poplar Avenues, the BL-40/US 283/former US 66 has a grade crossing with a former Rock Island Railroad line, just west of a historic depot.
The only major relocation of MD 30 in the 20th century was the elimination of a grade crossing at the Western Maryland Railway (now the Maryland Midland Railway) at Glen Morris. The present bridge over the railroad was completed in 1936, but the relocated highway, which replaced what is now Old Hanover Road to the east, was not placed under construction until 1938 and did not open until 1939. MD 30 was widened from Hampstead south to the Baltimore-Carroll county line in 1938 with a pair of -wide macadam shoulders, expanding the road's width to .
Paul International Airport. The Green Line runs along the median of University Avenue in an exclusive right-of-way, except for a brief stretch of the Washington Avenue Transit Mall where its tracks are shared with buses. The Blue Line's at-grade crossings are protected by automated grade crossing gates; the Green Line's crossings move in regular traffic, with signal priority but no preemption. Since the completion of three-car station extensions in winter 2010, Metro Transit operates one-, two- and three-car trains on the Blue Line, depending on the time of day and ridership needs.
K-167 is a spur route that serves the unincorporated village of Marienthal in east central Wichita County. The highway begins at K-96 between Leoti and Scott City. K-167 heads north through a grade crossing of the Kansas and Oklahoma Railroad and terminates at the north end of the village at a county highway equidistant between K-96 and the section line road to the north. The Kansas State Highway Commission accepted K-167 into the state highway system from Wichita County through an August 27, 1958, certification of a September 25, 1957, resolution.
DE 9A southbound on Terminal Avenue approaching DE 9 DE 9A begins at an intersection with DE 9 in the city of Wilmington, heading east-southeast as two-lane undivided Terminal Avenue through residential areas. The road widens into a four-lane divided highway and comes to an interchange with I-495. Past I-495, the road heads through industrial areas, becoming an undivided road as it crosses over Norfolk Southern's New Castle Secondary railroad line at a grade crossing. The road crosses Norfolk Southern's Christiana Avenue Industrial Track before reaching the entrance to the Port of Wilmington at the Christiana Avenue intersection.
A July 2016 fire aboard one of UP Express's units revealed a design flaw in the Cummins engine's crankshaft that would severely shorten engine life if not corrected. While Cummins advised that correcting the design flaw could be deferred until engines' mid-life overhaul, SMART chose to have the crankshaft replaced before the service start, as it was also facing delays caused by grade-crossing warning issue and PTC certification. All SMART units had the crankshaft issue correct before the service started in spring 2017. In November 2018, four cars were damaged during shipping in a freight collision while en route to SMART.
This portion of the line had its opening delayed, owing to construction on the line between the two stations for the construction of the 239th Street Yard. Additional time was required to modify the structure to avoid a grade crossing at the entrance to the yard. A 1929 proposal included a spur off the line that would have run from Van Nest to Baychester. The spur was to begin near Garfield Street as an elevated line then run underground beneath Morris Park Avenue and Wilson Avenue, finally terminating at Boston Road, where it was to connect to the formerly proposed Concourse Line extension.
Auburn station is located at the intersection of Main Street and B Street in the southwestern part of downtown Auburn. The station's two side platforms run north–south along a triple-track segment of the BNSF Railway's Seattle Subdivision and are connected by an at-grade crossing on Main Street. Adjacent to the east platform are several bus bays and a public plaza, which includes seating areas, a clock tower, and public art. The station's canopies and clock tower were designed to match buildings on Auburn's Main Street using brick pillars, painted steel canopies, and glass rooftops.
Malden station in 1906 The former station repurposed as a restaurant The Boston and Maine Railroad (B&M;) opened through Malden in July 1845. The first station was a two-story wooden depot on the east side of the tracks at Pleasant Street; it was replaced by a smaller station on the west side in 1871. In May 1891, the B&M; began construction of a new station as part of a grade crossing elimination project. The new station opened in 1892. A new Malden station opened on December 27, 1975, as part of the MBTA's Haymarket North Extension of the Orange Line.
Almost immediately, the road enters the unincorporated hamlet of PascoOrigins of Place Names (History of Pasco County) as it crosses a former railroad right-of-way that once ran from St. Petersburg to Trilby.History of Railroads in Pasco County (History of Pasco County) The interchange with Interstate 75 (Exit 285) is easily in view of motorists before reaching the former grade crossing, but not without approaching a gated community and two truck stops. Immediately after the I-75 interchange, SR 52 passes by and industrial park and Recreational Vehicle dealership, then curves to the northeast as it crosses another dry creek bridge.
The plan drew heavy opposition from local residents, who feared bottlenecks and a reduction in quality of life, and was removed from regional freeway plans in 1973. Freeway plans in Monroe moved forward instead, with the completion of a bypass to the west of downtown in 1972. SR 522 was moved from its routing on Main Street to the new freeway, which terminated at US 2 and removed a railroad grade crossing from the route. Since the 1980s, population growth in Monroe and around the SR 522 has resulted in increased traffic congestion and safety issues, including a rise in accidents and crashes.
The divided highway ends in front of a Harvey's Supermarket, and the road becomes only three lanes wide, with center-left turn lane provisions. This segment remains as such until it reaches the vicinity of the grade crossing of the former Central of Georgia Railway Line. SR 11 leaves US 129 on the west side of the tracks across from the former Gray CofG railroad station, while US 129 makes a sharp left turn along the east side of the tracks at the intersection of Georgia State Route 44. SR 22 continues towards Milledgeville and Comer.
From there it the road becomes Promised Land Road. Both segments of CR 33 ran along the northern edge of Napeague State Park, and continued to run through the park even as it turns southeast onto Napeague Meadow Road. Promised Land Road continues northeast as Lazy Point Road where it enters "downtown" Napeague. The former route crosses the LIRR Montauk branch for the second time, but this time it is at an at-grade crossing, where it enters a section of Napeague formerly known as East Hampton Beach, before finally terminating at Montauk Point State Parkway (NY 27).
The road briefly becomes four lanes wide again at the intersection of CR 11, but narrows back down to two lanes. Continuing northwest, CR 35 has an at-grade crossing with the Port Jefferson Branch of the Long Island Rail Road, which has been the site of many tractor-trailer accidents, and was the original location for the first "Low Ground Clearance" warning sign. The next major intersection after this crossing is Broadway, which runs west towards Huntington Station. Here, CR 35 becomes an unconventional two-lane divided highway, where the divider ends at Tasman Lane.
Over 100 similar test runs took place over the following months to ensure that the new trains, wayside signals and grade crossing signals operated correctly, as well as to verify that the trains properly aligned with each station platform. On Friday, January 31, 2014, the Florida Department of Transportation announced that SunRail would begin service on May 1, 2014. SunRail initially offered a series of free test runs in April, but canceled them and instead decided to open for free for the first two weeks of service in May. This enabled remaining work to be completed in time.
Liberty Township Plat (Tax) Map 1890, archives of the Union County Auditor's Office The Peoria railroad station, situated at the grade crossing of the two lines, was the only depot in Liberty Township that could accommodate both freight and passengers. The station also featured water and a coaling tower. Remnants of the foundations of these structures are still visible today. Largely because of the railroad station and the post office established there in 1872, Peoria quickly became a commercial center, featuring stores, churches, warehouses, small businesses—including a barber shop and a mill—and a public school.
Its southern terminus is at Jericho Turnpike (NY 25) at the Queens-Nassau border. Little Neck Parkway is one of the few at-grade railroad crossings of the Long Island Rail Road in New York City, and the only at-grade crossing of the Port Washington Branch of the LIRR. The Q36 bus serves Little Neck Parkway from Jamaica Avenue to the Little Neck Long Island Rail Road station on weekdays. Express routes include the QM3 bus between the Long Island Expressway and Northern Boulevard, and QM5 and QM8 buses between 260th Street and the Long Island Expressway.
Various combinations of track sections were supplied in the sets, except the 45 degree 12" radius curves, which were only sold separately and are hard to find. Other rare track pieces include the two different versions of the 9" double turnouts that only appeared in one set each and the Railroad grade crossing. Chassis: Longitudinal copper pick-up shoes span almost the entire length of the chassis, which transfer the power to the motor. The pick-ups were held in by screws and could be replaced, although some later vehicles are known to have rivets instead of screws.
East of US 41, the route passes some entrances to the Imperial Estates trailer park, then a culvert over another dry river bed. The road takes a curve to the southeast before it encounters an at-grade crossing with the CSX Brooksville Subdivision, and then makes a sharp turn to the east. The trajectory doesn't last though, as it curves slightly to the southeast before the intersection with Rackley Road, and then straightens out to the east again before intersecting with Endsley Road, only to turn slightly to the northeast, and pass a small industrial park.
Four strategies were considered for raising the speed from 25 miles per hour to 59 mph. The three discarded options were to: rebuild the existing track with wooden ties and with welded rail, rebuild the track with superelevation but reduce curvature within the right-of-way, or to disregard right-of-way constraints and to take property to straighten the line. The best option was to rebuild the track while super-elevating curves, reducing travel times from 42 minutes to 31 minutes. Nine bridges along the line would have to be rebuilt, and grade crossing protection would have to be installed.
The project calls for more than $1.5 billion in upgrades to the rail corridor between Miami and Cocoa. The company is double tracking the corridor, improving signaling systems, and upgrading every grade crossing to meet the highest applicable safety standards set by FDOT and Federal Railroad Administration. In January 2013, the Federal Railroad Administration issued a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for the Miami–Cocoa phase of the project, effectively clearing the way for work to begin. Part of the corridor safety upgrades includes installing positive train control (PTC), which will enhance Brightline's ability to monitor and control train movements safely.
The U.S. Highways have an at-grade crossing of the Norfolk and Portsmouth Belt Line Railroad ahead of their split at a partial cloverleaf interchange; the fourth leg of the interchange is SR 166 (Bainbridge Boulevard) from the south. The interchange includes a flyover ramp for eastbound US 460 toward Bainbridge Boulevard while US 13 continues east on Military Highway on a bridge across the flyover and the Norfolk District rail line. US 460 and SR 166 follow a two-lane road with center turn lane under I-464 (Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Highway) and across Milldam Creek.
As such, trains would originate in Centerville yard and be pulled across the grade crossing (where the ticket booth was located) and into Centerville station where loading would take place. (Only the first runs in the morning would pull into the station empty since trains coming back from Peachtree Jct. would first pass through the station and into Centerville Yard so that the engine could be placed on the opposite end of the train. On signal from the conductor, the engineer (who was typically dressed as an engineer) would blow the horn or whistle and then start the train out of the station.
The arch has a span at its base of and is high. The sidewalls of the bridge rise above the former height of the tracks, and all four corners of the bridge have wing walls that extend the structure to retain part of the embankment carrying the right of way. The Air Line Railway was developed in the 1870s, as a more straight-line connection between New Haven, Connecticut and Boston, Massachusetts, via Middletown. Originally this was a grade crossing, but increasing train speeds prompted the state to mandate railroads operating in it to reduce the number of such crossings.
SR 55 continues east and becomes the Main Street of the town of The Plains, where the highway meets the B-Line at another grade crossing and intersects the northern end of SR 245 (Old Tavern Road). SR 55, I-66, and the B-Line follow Broad Run through the Bull Run Mountains at Thoroughfare Gap into Prince William County. SR 55 crosses the B-Line again at the hamlet of Thoroughfare. The state highway intersects US 15 (James Madison Highway) just west of the town of Haymarket; in that town the highway is known as Washington Street.
Further north, the RSR runs through the center of Kodak Park, crossing West Ridge Rd. (NY-104) before heading north to its terminus at Matthews and Fields Lumber, another online customer, on Stonewood Avenue. Heading south from the Chili Avenue grade crossing, the first notable area of trackage is the Brooks Avenue yard. Continuing south, the RSR interchanges with CSX at Genesee Junction, where there are three online customers served by the RSR.STB Decision: 3/31/1997 - FD_33375_0 12 miles farther down, the Rochester and Southern passes through P&L; Junction, its connection point with the GNWR.
Passengers traveling east from Jamaica to Creedmoor had to change at Floral Park then backtrack to Creedmoor. Eventually the branch was downgraded to a secondary track and was mostly used throughout the twentieth century as a freight branch, primarily serving Creedmoor State Hospital, which replaced the rifle range, with daily coal deliveries. The Creedmoor Branch was officially considered a siding in 1921. The branch, however, was obviously important enough for the LIRR to undertake several grade crossing elimination projects along the line, most notably with the construction of a large steel trestle, built in the 1930s, to take the branch over Jamaica Avenue/Jericho Turnpike.
The old highway approaching the Aikin grade crossing became MD 449. MD 268 was proposed to be widened to from US 40 to US 1 in 1934. The portion of US 222 from US 40 to near Port Deposit was expanded to improve access between the U.S. Highway and United States Naval Training Center, Bainbridge, east of Port Deposit in 1942 and 1944. US 222 was widened and resurfaced between what is now the MD 222-MD 275--MD 824 intersection and Port Deposit in 1959 and 1960. The U.S. Highway was relocated as part of the construction of its original diamond interchange with I-95 in 1962 and 1963.
This is compared to 1,168 structurally deficient bridges in 2004. The Department maintains of state- owned railway, which are operated through leases with railroad companies, administers the Federal Highway Administration’s Grade Crossing Safety Program which provides funding to make safety improvements to Oklahoma’s nearly 3,800 at-grade public railway/road intersections, and manages the Amtrak Heartland Flyer passenger rail service in partnership with the Texas Department of Transportation. ODOT is also responsible for administration of state and federal funding for public transit operators in areas with less than 50,000 in population and state safety oversight of fixed guideway rail transit systems, including the Oklahoma City Streetcar.
The dispatcher could operate it from a separate control panel of the SpDrL60 class. Since 1998, with the transfer of control to the "Df" electronic control centre in Dülmen, signal box "Hf" continues to operate as an area computer. The Wanne-Eickel–Hamburg line in the area south of Haltern is adapted for bidirectional signalling to allow the trains of the Gelsenkirchen- Buer Nord–Marl Lippe railway to run on the track normally used for southbound trains to Haltern. As the trains usually reverse at the western platform 1 in Haltern, this eliminates the need for an at-grade crossing of the mainline tracks in the station.
Also occurring in conjunction with these projects are the replacement of crossties, renewal of grade crossing surfaces, and trimming of brush and trees alongside the right-of-way. The entire program is scheduled for completion in fall 2015, tying in with the FRA-mandated nationwide implementation of Positive Train Control (PTC) on American railroads by the end of 2015. SEPTA activated PTC on the Manayunk/Norristown Line on August 15, 2016. As of mid-2018, the borough of Phoenixville is studying the restoration of SEPTA train service by extending the Manayunk/Norristown Line using old Reading Line track past Norristown, currently used for freight trains by Norfolk Southern.
Montclair Heights (signed as Montclair Heights-Home of Montclair State University) is a New Jersey Transit station in the Montclair Heights area of Montclair Township, New Jersey. Located along the Montclair-Boonton Line at the Normal Avenue (CR 618) grade crossing, the serves trains coming from six different terminals (two eastbound: New York Penn Station and Hoboken Terminal and four westbound: Montclair State University, Dover, Lake Hopatcong and Hackettstown stations). Depending on the direction of travel, Montclair Heights is either the first or last of six stations in the township. The next station westbound is Montclair State University while the next station eastbound is Mountain Avenue.
In the center of town, the highway has an at-grade crossing with the Centreville Branch of the Northern Line of the Maryland and Delaware Railroad just west of the route's junction with MD 313 (Goldsboro Road). MD 302 crosses Unicorn Branch at its source, and the highway begins to follow the Queen Anne's–Caroline county line at its intersection with Woodyard Road. MD 302 passes through the town of Templeville, where the highway intersects the northern terminus of MD 454 (Crown Stone Road). East of the town, shortly after crossing Beaver Dam Ditch, MD 302 reaches its eastern terminus at the Delaware state line.
The station opened on February 23, 1886 as a surface station. In the early 1930s as part of a grade crossing elimination project, the station was depressed into the current open-cut below grade level, and rebuilt with concrete platforms. The platforms are slightly offset due to the right-of-way crossing at a diagonal with the streets in the neighborhood; each measures about in length, which would fit three cars of the former ME-1 rolling stock (67 feet in length) or of the current R44 SIR cars (75 feet in length). Exit stairs were located at the west end of the station towards Morningstar Road.
Bachmann was a station on the demolished South Beach Branch of the Staten Island Railway. Constructed in 1886 to serve the employees of Bachmann's Brewery, it had two tracks and two side platforms, and was located east of Tompkins Avenue, between Lynhurst and Chestnut Avenues. During a grade crossing elimination project on the South Beach Branch, the station was closed and razed in 1937, due to its proximity to the Rosebank station and the fact that the brewery never reopened after Prohibition. Well after the closure of the Bachmann station, the rest of the South Beach Branch was abandoned in 1953, because of city-operated bus competition.
The Gilchrest Road crossing accident was a grade crossing accident that occurred on March 24, 1972 in the town of Clarkstown, New York, between the hamlets of Valley Cottage and Congers, roughly northwest of New York City. Five students from Valley Cottage were killed, and 44 others were injured. The Penn Central (formerly New York Central) railway crossing at Gilchrest Road West, just outside Valley Cottage, contained only crossbucks and lacked additional warning hardware, such as flashing lights, crossing gates or a warning bell. The railway line was also difficult for road vehicles to see due to the curvature of the road and lineside trees.
Due to the program, BNSF has been the industry leader in lowering the number of grade-crossing collisions. BNSF contracts with News Link, a small business in Lincoln, Nebraska, to publish employee newsletters focused on safety for some of the railroad's divisions and shops. These newsletters vary in length from four to 28 pages, published ranging from monthly to quarterly. In 2014, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration ordered BNSF to pay over $526,000 to workers who had been terminated in 2010 and 2011 after revealing workplace injuries at the terminal in Havre, Montana, which is in contravention of provisions of the Federal Railroad Safety Act protecting whistleblowers.
The elevator was upgraded several times, 4,000,000 bushels in 1911"Canadian Pacific Railway Co Elevator, Port McNicholl", Canadian Machinery, 27 March 1913, pp. 317-317 and eventually reaching 6,500,000 bushels during 1922/23, still well short of the original plan for 12,000,000 bushels. The lines ran south from the wharf and crossed the southern end of the bay on a wooden trestle bridge that climbed from pilings to running surface. The bridge avoided marshy areas at the south end of the Bay, as well as providing an above-grade crossing over the GTR-operated Midland Railway of Canada, which ran down the eastern side of the Bay.
SR 168 has a grade crossing of Norfolk Southern's rail line to Sewell's Point and expands to a divided highway as it passes along the northern edge of an industrial area, where the highway meets the southern end of SR 194 (Sewells Point Road). SR 166 follows Princess Anne Road to its eastern end at Military Highway, which is US 13 heading south and SR 165 heading north. The three highways continue east on six-lane Northampton Boulevard. At the next intersection, SR 165 splits south onto Kempsville Road. SR 166 and US 13 continue east across Lake Wright and meet I-64 (Hampton Roads Beltway) at a partial cloverleaf interchange.
View west along SR 176 at US 13 in Centerville SR 176 begins at an intersection with SR 316 (Cassatt Avenue) in the center of the town of Parksley. Bennett Street continues west as SR 673 toward Justisville. SR 176 heads southeast as a two-lane undivided road and has a grade crossing of an inactive railroad line immediately to the east of SR 316, passing to the south of the Eastern Shore Railway Museum before exiting the town. The state highway follows Parksley Road southeast from the town limit to the route's eastern terminus at US 13 (Lankford Highway) in the hamlet of Centerville.
In 1867 the SCRR fought an unsuccessful frog war during construction of the competing Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad by interfering in the courts, claiming an exclusive charter for any railroad connecting Charleston, Columbia, Camden or Augusta. A grade crossing in Columbia was protested in court, then blocked by a parked train, then torn up physically and finally threatened by a steamed-up locomotive ready to move forward to block at any moment. All of these obstructions were quickly dismissed or prohibited. With debt over $6 million in 1873, the line was unable to expand beyond investments in some collateral lines, including the Greenville and Columbia Railroad.
The section of I-81 between the village of Adams and the city of Watertown was constructed in the late 1950s. At the time, I-81 connected to the hamlets of Rices and Watertown Center via Rices Road, a local highway that went north from the I-81 interchange and made a sharp eastward turn to cross the railroad tracks at Rices before continuing northeastward to US 11. Rices Road was acquired by the state of New York and designated NY 232. In 1965, the New York State Department of Transportation began looking at ways to eliminate the turn and grade crossing at Rices.
Northbound high-level platform (right), southbound low-level platform, and station building New London has an unconventional platform layout due to the State Street grade crossing and its location on a sharp curve. The two Northeast Corridor tracks (Tracks 1 and 2) are next to the station, while the New England Central Railroad (formerly Central Vermont) freight track (Track 6) is further away. Both NEC tracks have high-level platforms, which were added in 2001 for use by Acela Express trains, which cannot use low platforms. The southbound NEC track is served by a low platform behind the station, which leads to a short high-level platform south of State Street.
Wyoming Highway 213 begins its south end at an interchange with Interstate 80/US 30 at exit 386, which is also the northern terminus of Wyoming Highway 214. Historically, WYO 213 turned west and traveled along the I-80 Service Road for half a mile before turning north onto Burns Road into Burns.Wyoming Routes 200-299 WYO 213 used to end at Burns, but was extended in 2009 north to U.S. Route 85, seven miles south of Meriden. Since 2012, Wyoming Highway 213 has been rerouted out of the Burns town center and over a $6.6 million railway overpass just east of the town, avoiding an at-grade crossing.
In addition to the station, the railroad also maintained a section house and a coal pocket here. Two creameries were located in Kelly's Corners: the first: "Yankee Creamery" was near the present day grade crossing of State Route 30 and the railroad right of way. Some of the field stone foundation can be located with the brush. Documentation that the Yankee Creamery was joint venture between Hanford S. Shultis, owner of "Elgin of the Catskills" dairy farm; and E. Louis Kadans, owner of Kadan's Creamery in Dunraven, NY. The other creamery, the "Eureka Creamery" was located on the opposite side of the valley from the station (present day 'Frog Alley').
Beachmont station on an early postcard The narrow gauge Boston, Revere Beach and Lynn Railroad (BRB&L;) opened from East Boston to Lynn on July 29, 1875; no station was originally present at Winthrop Avenue. Beachmont station opened later at the Winthrop Avenue grade crossing, with a station building located southeast of the crossing. Ocean Pier station at Dolphin Avenue was open for several years in the 1880s, likely to compete with a competitor - the Eastern Railroad- backed Boston, Winthrop and Shore Railroad - which operated in 1884 and 1885. By 1928 the line was electrified, with pre-pay stations - more a rapid transit line than a conventional railroad.
Along the way, two county suffixed alternates of hidden SR 700 can be found, first 700B, which leads to Basinger Cemetery, and then 700A, which leads to the Basigner Fire Tower and CR 724. The Florida Cracker Trail branches off to the northeast at CR 68, which eventually leads to its state designation in Fort Pierce. Meanwhile, US 98 continues to run south through rural Okeechobee County, but the rural atmosphere of the road begins to disappear after CR 718, especially near the Okeechobee County Airport. The next major site is yet again a grade crossing with the CSX railroad line that carries the Amtrak Silver Star through Okeechobee station.
Along this segment, US 17/92/SR 46 climbs a bridge over the CSX Sanford Subdivision which includes the Sanford Amtrak Auto Train on the southeast corner of that bridge, and the Sanford SunRail station on the northwest corner. SR 46 leaves US 17/US 92 at the intersection of Sanford CR 15 (Upsala Road), while SR 46 continues west towards Mount Dora and US 17/US 92 continues north along Monroe Road. Just before the intersection with Orange Boulevard, and an at-grade crossing with the Sanford Subdivision, US 17/92 curves to the northeast as it approaches part of the interchange with I-4.
View west along the MD 125 section of Old Court Road in Randallstown Woodstock Road begins at an intersection with MD 99 (Old Frederick Road) northwest of Ellicott City. The two-lane undivided county highway passes through farmland then has a forested descent into the narrow Patapsco River valley. MD 125 begins within the hamlet of Woodstock, where the highway has a grade crossing of CSX's Old Main Line Subdivision and crosses the Patapsco River into Baltimore County. The state highway, now known as Old Court Road, passes an entrance to Patapsco Valley State Park and the former grounds of Woodstock College as it ascends out of the river valley.
Watsessing Avenue Station as viewed from its Hackettstown/Montclair platform The Montclair-Boonton Line passing under the Freeman Parkway Bridge, with Toney's Brook running parallel. After crossing from East Orange into Bloomfield, the Montclair-Boonton Line almost immediately enters its next station (and its first past Newark Broad Street), the Watsessing Avenue station. The station is on an open cut, and is one of two stations that were built underground during the grade crossing elimination in 1912. After crossing under Watsessing Avenue (and Dodd Street), the lines continue northward, crossing under the Garden State Parkway between the northbound and southbound toll plazas of Exit 148.
It continues southeast to Lester, (a small town on Ohio State Route 57 about northwest of Medina), where it connects with CSX's Cleveland Subdivision. It partially follows Mallet Creek south, then passes below the Wheeling and Lake Erie Railway west of Medina (about northwest of U.S. Route 42). After an at-grade crossing of U.S. Route 42, It continues south-southeast, passing east of Chippewa Lake, below Interstate 71 and Interstate 76, and through the town of Seville before reaching its southern terminus with CSX's New Castle Subdivision at Sterling. The CL&W; Subdivision is a single track line, except for of double track at Sterling.
Just before reaching Brantley Boulevard the road starts to curve northeast. Truck Route 158 ends at SR 158, but US 221/Truck Route 32/SR 135 continues northeast. At a grade crossing with the same former Seaboard Coast Line Railroad line it previously went over, the routes encounter and intersection with Spooner Road and Iron Road, and then curves to the northwest. Georgia State Truck Route 32 finally ends at the east end of a short multiplex between SR 32, which ends at Westgreen Road, where westbound SR 32 turns left but northbound US 221/SR 135 turns right, passing a bridge over Seventeen Mile River, thus leaving the city limits.
In June 2003, a project began to replace the bridge that carries NY 167 across the Erie Canal, Moss Island, Mohawk River, CSX Railroad, and NY 5 in Little Falls. On September 15, 2005, the new $17.4 million (equivalent to $ in ) bridge opened and replaced two deteriorated structures that were built in two phases from 1936 to 1962. The new bridge also eliminated a dangerous at-grade crossing at the CSX Railroad where low profile vehicles frequently got stuck. The bridge was dedicated to Dr. Bernard J. Burke, a local physician remembered for his total dedication to his patients and the community for over 35 years.
Louisiana Highway 3262 (LA 3262) ran in a north–south direction from a dead end to a junction with LA 611-9 in Metairie. The route began on the north side of LA 3139 (Earhart Expressway) and headed north on Labarre Road across US 61 (Airline Drive) to its terminus at LA 611-9 (Metairie Road) in a neighborhood known as Old Metairie. LA 3262 was an undivided two-lane highway for its entire length. LA 3262 was formerly part of LA 611-4, which originally included the entirety of Labarre Road, including a grade crossing with the Illinois Central Railroad line (now the Canadian National Railway).
On November 7, 1960, an accident took place at the grade crossing at North Railroad Avenue and Bancroft Avenue, four blocks away from the New Dorp station. An eight-year-old girl was killed and 31 children were injured as a train struck a crowded school bus as it was about to exit the crossing. A grand jury had ordered the closure of this crossing and 12 others along this stretch of the line, after a train killed a high-school girl at a crossing eight blocks away in December 1959. The railroad had been given an extension of time so it could install gates.
Marble Hill stub in Manhattan The Metro-North Railroad uses the remaining stub near Marble Hill station to store maintenance-of-way and contractors' trains and for material delivery in the vicinity of 225th Street. The roadbed north of the former Van Cortlandt station has been converted into the Putnam Greenway, South County Trailway, North County Trailway, and Putnam County Trailway rail trails. A replica of the former Bryn Mawr Park station at the former Palmer Road grade crossing is in use as a grocery. The station in Briarcliff Manor was purchased by the village in 1959 and converted into the Briarcliff Manor Public Library.
Hewlett Station was originally built by the South Side Railroad of Long Island as Cedar Grove station in July 1869. This name would only last until October, when it was changed to Hewletts station. In 1870, the station was replaced with a new building, that has remained intact ever since, making it the oldest railroad station on Long Island, and the only existing building constructed by an LIRR predecessor. High-level sheltered platforms were added across Franklin Avenue during the late-1990s, and a new station house was built diagonally across the grade crossing from the original one between November 25, 2002 and July 28, 2003.
NY 320 at the New York, Susquehanna and Western Railway in Norwich NY 320 begins a half-mile (0.8 km) north of the Norwich city limits at an intersection with NY 12 in the town of Norwich. The highway heads to the northeast as a two-lane road, serving a commercial area along the southern edge of Lt. Warren Eaton Airport. It crosses over the Chenango River and a grade crossing with the New York, Susquehanna and Western Railway prior to intersecting CR 32 (East River Road). Past the junction, the commercial establishments give way to homes as the route continues to head away from the Norwich area.
In March 2011, early stages of a design for the renovation of the station were approved and in October, 2011, RTA announced that the agency had received federal funds to repave the parking lot and bus station pavement. A $1.2 million federal stimulus grant paid for a completely new station. The upgrades included rebuilt entrances, a new platform, a new tunnel under the tracks to remove the grade crossing, better lighting, landscaping and sidewalk improvements, better waiting areas, and improvements to the parking area to improve car and pedestrian mobility. The new eastern entrance and rail platform opened to the public on April 10, 2017.
View east at the west end of SR 145 at SR 10 in Chesterfield SR 145 begins at an intersection with SR 10 (Iron Bridge Road) in Chesterfield. The state highway heads east as two-lane Centralia Road toward the hamlet of Centralia, where the highway has a grade crossing of CSX's North End Subdivision. Just east of the railroad crossing, SR 145 meets the northern end of SR 144 (Chester Road). SR 145 turns north onto Chester Road, which is a four-lane divided highway from just south of the SR 144-SR 145 intersection to north of the state highway's diamond interchange with the SR 288 freeway.
The grade crossing at Lanham Station Road was likely closed in 1970 when Penn Central eliminated several such grade crossings in Prince George's County as part of the construction of Capital Beltway station for the Metroliner service. Conrail took over the ex-PRR Baltimore-Washington service from Penn Central at its creation on April 1, 1976. Conrail added an asphalt platform on the southeast side of the tracks and three-sided iron shelters on both sides. However, the company was displeased with the station; it was in the middle of a sharp reverse curve with poor sightlines from trains, which resulted in several pedestrians being struck by high-speed trains.
When establishing bus routes, consider unusual operating characteristics or grade crossing accident histories. Advise members to disable radio speakers located next to drivers' heads. In addition, the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, National Association of County Engineers, American Public Works Association, Institute of Transportation Engineers, Association of American Railroads, American Short Line Railroad Association and American Public Transit Association were all advised to notify their members of the circumstances of the crash, and distribute information on the importance of exchanging information about railroad/highway grade crossings. In the state of Illinois alone, 188 other interconnected crossings were inspected for hazardous conditions.
The 1995 Fox River Grove bus–train collision was a grade crossing collision that killed seven students riding aboard a school bus in Fox River Grove, Illinois, on the morning of October 25, 1995. The school bus, driven by a substitute driver, was stopped at a traffic light with the rearmost portion extending onto a portion of the railroad tracks when it was struck by a Metra Union Pacific / Northwest Line train en route to Chicago. The crash involved a signalled rail crossing located very near a highway intersection which was regulated by traffic signals. The devices were connected and operations were supposed to be carefully timed and coordinated.
In 2017, the Virtual New Haven RR, a group that had previously developed a virtual train simulator game of the New Haven Railroad's Springfield line, released a new train simulator game based on the West Virginia Northern Railroad's route and surrounding topography and features. The game, released as the "B&O; Kingwood Branch", includes nearly identical re-creations of the Kingwood Junction and Tunnelton yards, as well as a fairly accurate representation of the prototype railroad between the two points, inclusive of the double switchback, towns, grade crossing locations, and coal mines along the route. The game can be acquired through Dovetail Games and Steam.
The West Hingham station platform and South Street grade crossing in 1889 The New Haven Railroad abandoned its remaining Old Colony Division lines on June 30, 1959, after the completion of the Southeast Expressway. The West Hingham station had been located north of the South Street level crossing. The MBTA reopened the Greenbush Line on October 31, 2007, with West Hingham station located south of South Street where room for a parking lot was available. A downtown Hingham station was not possible due to the narrow tunnel constructed to avoid level crossings in Hingham Square, so West Hingham and Nantasket Junction stations both serve Hingham.
K-99 passes through Wamego on Lincoln Avenue, which has a double-track grade crossing of the Union Pacific Railroad and passes by the Oz Museum, a museum dedicated to the Wizard of Oz, and The Columbian Theatre. The highway passes to the west of the Wamego Historical Museum, which includes the Old Dutch Mill, and to the east of the historic Cassius & Adelia Baker House and George and Virginia Trout House. At the north end of the city, K-99 intersects US-24. The state highway crosses Rock Creek while passing through the city of Louisville, which lies west of the Vermillion Creek Crossing of the Oregon Trail.
Past NY 237, NY 262 becomes Townline Road and heads toward Bergen, traversing farmland and serving a handful of homes as it heads east. Across the town line in Bergen, the route passes directly north of the Byron-Bergen Central School District's three-school campus, located in an otherwise open area off of West Bergen Road. The route continues on, crossing the CSX Transportation-owned Rochester Subdivision rail line at a sharp angle by way of a grade crossing on its way to the village of Bergen. Like in Elba, NY 262 bypasses most of the village's more developed areas and only skirts the southern edge of the community.
In February 2019, at the northern end of the yard, work was completed on a bridge to replace the grade crossing at 69th Street between Tonnelle Avenue and West Side Avenue, parallel to the Cromakill Creek. Significant delays caused by long trains created considerable congestion for those working and shopping in the area. Located midway between the current terminus near 49th Street and the first proposed station at 91st Street, the site was at one time planned to be a stop along the HBLR Northern Branch Corridor, though current plans do not include one. Estimated to cost $67 million in 2005, the project had sporadic funding since its inception.
North of Clyde, NY 414 intersects a number of roads of local importance as it heads north-northwest across gentle terrain in the mostly open towns of Galen and Rose as Main Street. Aside from Rose and North Rose, the two communities of note along NY 414 between Clyde and the route's end, NY 414 traverses little more than nondescript cultivated fields. In the latter hamlet, NY 414 crosses the Ontario Midland Railroad at a grade crossing in the center of the community. The route ends about north of North Rose at an intersection with NY 104 in the town of Huron, located at the southern tip of Sodus Bay.
The trolley ran down Main Street through the borough, but detoured onto Pennsylvania Avenue for two blocks to enable it to cross the North Penn Railroad on a bridge. The bridge was required because the railroad, citing safety concerns, refused to allow the trolleys to cross at the Main Street grade crossing. Lehigh Valley Transit Company's combined passenger/freight station was located on the north (east) side of Pennsylvania Avenue between Shearer Street and Montgomery Avenue. After Main Street trolley service ended in 1926, Lehigh Valley Transit high-speed trolleys continued to serve the Wales Junction station, located on Sumneytown Pike three-quarters of a mile west of town.
NY 409 heading eastbound towards the junction with CR 28\. Seneca Lake is visible in the background NY 409 begins at a grade crossing with the Norfolk Southern Railway in the town of Dix, where maintenance of Station Road shifts from Dix to the New York State Department of Transportation. The route initially heads to the northeast through an isolated rural area, running along the northern fringe of Watkins Glen State Park to the western edge of a valley overlooking Seneca Lake and the village of Watkins Glen. Here, NY 409 turns northward, slowly descending into the gorge as it crosses into the town of Reading.
Six daily Amtrak trains (three round trips) continue to operate, while 20 daily freights have largely been moved to the CSX "S" Line to the west. Within the first five months of regular operations, SunRail trains were involved in four grade crossing accidents, all caused by driver error. Florida Highway Patrol officials blamed the crashes on drivers who were too impatient to wait for trains to pass and did not understand that trains cannot stop quickly. Tri-Rail, which operates in a very similar densely populated area with many grade crossings, had 93 crashes during its first 15 years, though other systems saw their rates decrease after the initial months.
In response, the Vice President of the LIRR, in December, stated that the LIRR had to deal with the completion of multiple grade crossing elimination projects before electrifying the Oyster Bay Branch, which was estimated to cost $3.28 million. By June 1934, the section of the line between East Williston and Mineola was electrified, with the remainder of the branch expected to be electrified soon after. However, the remainder of the work was not completed. Instead, the branch is served by diesel powered-locomotive trains (except for one AM peak train that originates at East Williston and ends at Penn Station using Electric-Multiple Units).
A groundbreaking ceremony was held on July 13, 2000, allowing for construction on Everett Station to begin. Sound Transit began with the construction of the Pacific Avenue overpass, replacing an earlier at-grade crossing, that opened on November 14, 2001 at a cost of $20 million. The station building was designed by the Zimmer Gunsul Frasca Partnership and built by Wilder Construction Company in 2000 and 2001. The $46.9 million station was opened during a ribbon-cutting ceremony on February 4, 2002, attended by Everett Mayor Ed Hansen, Governor Gary Locke, U.S. Representative Rick Larsen, Snohomish County Executive Bob Drewel and Sound Transit Board chairman and King County Executive Ron Sims.
On December 21, 1936, the grade crossing with the Pennsylvania Railroad (now Amtrak's Northeast Corridor) along College Avenue in Newark was replaced with a bridge over the tracks. In 1938, the state highway between Glasgow and Newark was built on a new alignment, bypassing a narrow winding alignment that ran further to the east along what is now Old Cooch's Bridge Road. This road was built to give Newark a better road connection to places further south. DE 896 was designated by 1938 to run from DE 71 in Summit Bridge north to the Maryland border northwest of Newark, passing through Newark on College Avenue and New London Road.
The Billups Neon Crossing Signal was a prototypical grade crossing signal installed at a dangerous Illinois Central crossing on Mississippi Highway 7 (now Mississippi Highway 332) in Grenada, Mississippi. It was installed in the mid-1930s by inventor Alonzo Billups over growing concern due to numerous accidents at the crossing involving trains and motor vehicles. Like nothing before, the Billups signal was a large gantry spanning the highway and was likely the first such use of a gantry-style crossing of the type now in relatively common use. Upon approach of a train, a giant neon sign lit up with the words "Stop-DEATH-Stop" beneath a lighted skull and crossbones.
SR 351 heads east between I-664 immediately to the north and the Hampton Branch rail line one block to the south. Access to the Interstate is provided through Roanoke Avenue and Chestnut Avenue, which each have half- diamond interchanges with the freeway. SR 351 enters the city of Hampton just east of where I-664 veers away from the immediate vicinity of the state highway and the Hampton Branch crosses to the north side of the highway at an oblique grade crossing. The state highway continues northeast as Pembroke Avenue, which closely parallels the railroad beginning at the highway's intersection with Aberdeen Road, which provides further access to I-664.
The road continues east of US 98 with some houses, although one church can be found on the northeast corner of Stafford Avenue. Drivers who were detoured by the median on US 98 could return at the intersection of Mildred Avenue. East of there, the road climbs a slight hill to cross a grade crossing with the CSX Brooksville Subdivision, then climbs a much steeper hill flanked by deep storm channels. Here the road is residential to the north and serves as the backyard of businesses along westbound US 41/US 98/SR 50A until it encounters Brooksville City Hall on the northwest corner of CR 445 (Howell Avenue).
In the mid-nineteenth century, the primary modes of transportation were rail and waterways, and authority over them was granted to the federal government under Canada's Constitution; roads were thought of as a local concern and were delegated to the provinces. As the automobile rose in prominence in the early 20th century, organizations such as the Good Roads Movement and local motor clubs put pressure on governments to provide improved roads. Several provinces established their own highway authorities to coordinate the development of regional road networks. The federal government's first effort to fund highway construction came with the Railway Grade Crossing Fund in 1907.
The new lines opened by the B&O; railroad were called the Staten Island Rapid Transit Railway, while the original line from Clifton to Tottenville was called the Staten Island Railway. In 1889–1890 a station was put up at the South Avenue grade crossing at Arlington in 1889–1890, where trains were turned on their way back to St. George. Various proposals were made by the B&O; for a railroad between Staten Island and New Jersey. The accepted proposal consisted of a line from the Arthur Kill to meet the Jersey Central at Cranford, through Union County and the communities of Roselle Park and Linden.
In Hawthorne, a grade crossing on Broadway with the New York Central Railroad Harlem Division existed just north of the railroad station at the intersection with Elwood Avenue until 1951, when the New York State Department of Public Works realigned the route away from Broadway onto a bridge over the tracks south of the station leading to a wye at Elmwood Avenue.1947 Topographical Map of Hawthorne New York and Vicinity (NETR Historic Aerials Online)Route 141 over MNRR Harelem Line; Westchester County, New York (UglyBridges.com) On September 1, 1980, NY 141 was extended two blocks northward after NY 117 was rerouted to follow Manville Road through Pleasantville.
CSX St. Lawrence Subdivision in Potsdam NY 345 begins at an intersection with US 11 in the village of Potsdam, just north of Clarkson University. The route heads northwestward on Pine Street and Madrid Avenue as a village-maintained, state-numbered highway, crossing the CSX Transportation-owned St. Lawrence Subdivision by way of a grade crossing as it heads through a commercial and residential area. It exits the village shortly afterward, at which point the route becomes maintained by the New York State Department of Transportation. It heads northwestward on a linear path through the town of Potsdam, passing through mostly undeveloped areas comprising open fields and forests.
NY 345 curves slightly northward at Burnham Corners before crossing Trout Brook and entering the town of Madrid, where it traverses the New York and Ogdensburg Railway by way of a grade crossing just outside the hamlet of Madrid. The highway continues into the community, where the route becomes Bridge Street and intersects NY 310 on the eastern bank of the Grasse River. It continues across the river to Main Street, at which point NY 345 turns to the northeast and follows Main Street out of the hamlet. North of Madrid, NY 345 curves back to the northwest as it enters another rural area.
Even so, the branch was important enough for the LIRR to undertake several grade crossing elimination projects along the line, most notably with the construction of a large steel trestle, built in the 1930s, to take the branch over Jamaica Avenue/Jericho Turnpike. The line was used for this nominal service until the late 1960s when finally it was put out of service. The tracks were pulled up around 1973 with the trestle over Jamaica Avenue/Jericho Turnpike being dismantled in 1980. The right of way was absorbed by many of the homeowners who were given an opportunity to buy the land that adjoined their properties.
The "shovelnose" styling was modified on later models because the streamlined headlight was found less satisfactory than more common types with vertical lenses, and the elegantly sloped nose had a bad habit of deflecting vehicles up toward the cab in a grade crossing collision. More enduring was the paint scheme—E1 number two and her booster #2A were the first locomotives to wear the world-famous Santa Fe "Warbonnet" red and silver colors. In fact, these units used stainless steel sides on the car body to better match the road's new stainless passenger cars. This decor was not developed by the Santa Fe, but by EMC—or rather, by GM's Art and Color section.
In the original plans, which were to be implemented by MDSHA, the west side of the interchange would connect directly with Montrose Road at Hoya Street. Randolph Road would head east from the interchange, cross Nebel Street and the railroad north of Randolph Road's existing grade crossing, and merge back into Randolph Road west of Parklawn Drive. The first phase of the creation of Montrose Parkway included the reconstruction of Montrose Road from Tower Oaks Boulevard to west of Old Farm Creek and construction of Montrose Parkway from the creek area to the MD 355 interchange. The Montrose Road reconstruction and Montrose Parkway east to Jefferson Street were started in 2005 and finished in 2008.
The surroundings of the route are primarily wooded with occasional breaks of private property, but then runs along the northeast shore of Hampton Lake. Once it leaves the vicinity of the lake, County Road 18 is named Navarre Avenue and then has a major intersection with US 301 in Hampton. Within that city, CR 18 has a concurrency with CR 221, and then has an at-grade crossing with the CSX Wildwood Subdivision, which is part of the S-Line, and carried Amtrak's Silver Star/Palmetto line until November 2004. Later, it has an intersection with the northern terminus of CR 325, just before CR 221 veers off to the left, heading northeast back to US 301.
As with most moveable bridges on railway lines, Bridge 15 was protected by interlocking. This system made it physically impossible to have a signal indicating to trains that it was clear to proceed when the bridge was open. In the case of bridge 15, however, the operator was responsible for more than just the bridge itself. The bridge control cabin also functioned as an interlocking tower for the junction with the Toronto, Hamilton and Buffalo Railway (located a short distance west of the bridge), as well as a crossover immediately west of the bridge, the at-grade crossing of the Niagara, St. Catharines & Toronto Electric Railway (N, S & T), and sidings on both sides of the canal.
The railroad that had nurtured Main Street eventually caused its decline. In 1928, now part of the New York Central, the line was expanded from one track to two, and in the process Main Street's grade crossing was eliminated in favor of a new overpass called Bridge Street, one block to the north. Traffic to what little commercial activity remained at the riverfront simply followed the new street straight to it, turning Main into a short side street that remained important to the community only as the location of its general store. After the Second World War, the railroad would itself decline, taking commercial activity along Main and in New Hamburg with it.
In the Wards Corner area of Norfolk, the state highway has a partial interchange with I-64 that allows access to points to and from the direction of Virginia Beach. SR 165 becomes a four-lane undivided highway at its grade crossing of Norfolk Southern Railway's rail line to Sewell's Point. West of the rail crossing, the state highway intersects US 460 (Granby Street), which to the north provides access to westbound I-64 and I-564 (Admiral Taussig Boulevard), the main highway onto Naval Station Norfolk. SR 165 continues west through a densely populated residential area to its northern terminus at SR 337 (Hampton Boulevard) south of Naval Station Norfolk and Norfolk International Terminal.
The return to Chicago was marred by a collision with an automobile at a grade crossing, although it resulted in no injuries and no serious damage to the locomotive. On May 28 the Train of Tomorrow was dedicated at a ceremony held at the Palmer House Hotel that featured Chicago mayor Martin H. Kennelly and GM's Charles F. Kettering, Cyrus Osborn, and Alfred P. Sloan. Approximately 1,000 GM and Pullman-Standard executives, businessmen and politicians attended the ceremony, during which Kettering's granddaughter, Jane, christening the train with a bottle of champagne. Following this ceremony, GM opened the train to the public at Soldier Field between May 29 and June 1, during which around 50,000 people saw it.
Ground was broken for the highway project in April 2006, with major construction beginning in May.Chico Enterprise-Record, Project has taken a long time to get to this point , July 21, 2006 Caltrans estimated completion in late 2009 for the completion of the four-lane expressway, including a new directional interchange at each end, at which State Route 70 and State Route 99 will exit and enter to the right of the main Oroville-Chico movement. Most access was closed, with Shippee Road providing the sole at-grade crossing of the expressway, and an overcrossing near State Route 70 giving access to local property. Shippee Road was relocated to the southeast, allowing for the future construction of an interchange.
Before the road curves northeast, an intersection with County Road 46A gives motorists the option of taking a turn towards State Road 46. As the road curves and intersects County Road 44A, it enters Seminole State Forest. In Crow's Bluff, SR 44 serves as the eastern terminus of County Road (former State Road) 42 and immediately crosses the Francis P. Whitehair Bridge over the St. Johns River, where it enters Volusia County and curves back east. West of DeLand, SR 44 is named West New York Avenue and runs along a bridge over an Amtrak line north of DeLand (Amtrak station), but then crosses a grade crossing for a railroad spur leading from the station into Downtown DeLand.
SR 180 follows 1st Street to US 13 (Lankford Highway), then heads north along the U.S. Highway to the northern town limit of Keller. The state highway has a grade crossing of an inactive railroad line immediately to the east of US 13, then heads east as Wachapreague Road. SR 180 follows Main Street through the town of Wachapreague to its eastern terminus at SR 1701 (Atlantic Avenue) on the waterfront of a channel within the wetlands on the Atlantic Ocean side of the peninsula. Within Wachapreague, SR 180 has a wye route, SR 180Y, that runs from SR 180 along Brooklyn Street and Richardson Avenue to its terminus at the intersection of Richardson Avenue and Church Street.
South Carolina Highway 905 begins at the western terminus of U.S. Route 701 in Conway, South Carolina and runs along Fourth Street later intersecting Business U.S. Route 501 at Main Street. After crossing a bridge over a narrow strip of Kingston Lake, it passes the historic Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Depot, where it crosses a three track grade crossing then narrows from four to two lanes as it enters forestland within the proximity of the Waccamaw River. The forestland gives way to moderate residential development and a signalized intersection with a local road named East Country Club Drive (the first of very few of them). Noticeable exceptions to the residential development include a large church complex.
An automobile driven by Woodward collided into the side of a train at a grade crossing near D'Hanis, Texas, close to Hondo in Medina County, and the accident claimed both his life and that of his wife, the only other passenger in the vehicle. Bessie Woodward died of injuries on May 22, 1943, and Emerson followed at age sixty- four two days later while a patient at the Medina Hospital in Hondo.Miami News - May 24, 1943 A double funeral was held in Houston at Heights Church of Christ, and they were entombed in a mausoleum at the city's Forest Park Cemetery. Their fifteen-year-old grandson, Robert Woodward, would inherit their entire estate.
Marquardt formed a subsidiary, Marquardt Industrial Products Company (MIPCO), as part of the Pomona, California electronics operations, and began selling the computer to major railroads across the country, and eventually world-wide. It enabled the warning lights and gates at grade-level crossings to be lowered based on the speed of an approaching train, rather than at a fixed distance, reducing grade-crossing congestion in populated areas like Chicago. In 1964, Marquardt purchased a small aerospace firm in Mineola, New York named Automation Laboratories, Inc. (ALI)"Marquardt Acquisition Approved", Los Angeles, California, The Los Angeles Times, October 2, 1964, p. 49, principally to use their television broadcast expertise in developing a missile launch simulator for the Sheridan Battle Tank.
The Town of Oyster Bay has designated Syosset station as one of its targets for transit-oriented development. Known as the "Syosset Downtown Redevelopment and Revitalization Plan," the project aims to re-create the hamlet's downtown through mixed-use development and improved, human-scale zoning regulations.Syosset Downtown Redevelopment and Revitalization Plan Town of Oyster Bay Retrieved June 28, 2010 The master-plan includes suggestions such as removing the grade crossing at Jackson Avenue, creating a pedestrian plaza by eliminating road traffic on a portion of Cold Spring Road, parking reconfiguration, and the building of a community center as ways of focusing growth in the downtown area and reducing unnecessary trips by car.
Along this segment, the two hidden state roads aren't exactly as hidden as they are in other parts of the state. Two suffixed alternate routes of hidden State Road 15 can be found in Up-the-Grove Junction before the route enters Martin County, where it remains along the east side of the lake. As the route enters Port Mayaca, the road crosses a bridge over the St. Lucie Canal that returns to ground level at the interchange with State Road 76. Shortly after this, US 98/441 crosses the Martin-Palm Beach County line just north of a Florida East Coast Railroad grade crossing with no signs indicating the location of the border.
US 113 bypasses the town to the south and east and intersects MD 12 (Snow Hill Road), which connects Snow Hill with Salisbury and Stockton, and MD 365 (Public Landing Road). The MD 365 junction is a superstreet intersection; MD 365 traffic must turn right, use U-turn ramps along US 113, and turn right again to continue on MD 365\. North of MD 365, the highway reduces to a two-lane road and crosses Purnell Branch of the Pocomoke River. US 113 has a grade crossing with the Snow Hill Line of the Maryland and Delaware Railroad and turns northeast again as the highway receives the other end of US 113 Business.
The CR 103 designation ends here and is replaced with CR 104 as NY 279 turns eastward onto Waterport Road. NY 279 south from NY 18 in Carlton The route briefly follows the northern bank of the river, then veers north to serve Waterport Station, a small community centered around the former grade crossing between NY 279 and the Hojack Line. Past Waterport Station, NY 279 continues north through forested areas and cultivated fields to its northern terminus at a junction with NY 18 near the Lake Ontario shoreline and south of Lakeside Beach State Park. Just east of the junction, NY 18 intersects the western end of the Lake Ontario State Parkway.
Bower's Hill, which was in now-extinct Norfolk County near the northeastern edge of the Great Dismal Swamp, became a crossroads as highways and railroads were built through the area in the 20th century. The natural terrain of the coastal plain of the Tidewater area is very flat and sandy. The combination of U.S. Highway 13, U.S. Highway 58, and U.S. Highway 460, known as the Military Highway, was a 4-lane undivided highway that was built about 1943. A large s-shaped highway overpass was constructed to carry the traffic across the Seaboard Air Line Railroad tracks to eliminate an at-grade crossing and to allow an interchange with Airline Boulevard.
Champion Rivet moved to this factory in 1901. The Boulevard School, opened in 1910, in 2017 In 1904, the Newburgh Town Hall was moved from 9250 Miles Park Avenue slightly to the north at 9213 Miles Park Avenue to make was for a new library building. In 1905, one of the major landmarks of the area was radically changed when the Cleveland and Pittsburgh Railroad (C&P;) won approval of a plan to build new, wide tracks on the south side of Broadway Avenue in order to eliminate an at-grade crossing nearby. The plan required digging a new channel for Mill Creek and moving the Mill Creek Falls some to the south.
Fillmore & Western Railway Railroad Days Festival, March 2004. Transportation planners in the Southern California region have been studying the feasibility of restoring the eastern end of the line between Santa Paula and Santa Clarita in order to establish Metrolink service, at least since 2006. This would require bringing existing track up to passenger standards, adding passing sidings and acquisition of new right-of-way for track between the current eastern terminus of the line located just west of Interstate 5 (I-5) and Metrolink's Antelope Valley line. The new line would also require construction of a bridge over the south fork of the Santa Clara River and an at-grade crossing or a flying junction at San Fernando Road.
Kentucky Route 509 (KY 509) is a rural secondary highway in northwestern Nelson County. The highway begins at KY 245 (New Shepherdsville Road) south of Samuels. KY 509 heads north along Samuels Loop to Samuels, where the route meets the eastern end of KY 3207, also part of Samuels Loop, and has a grade crossing of an R.J. Corman Railroad Group rail line where it turns east onto Samuels Road. KY 509 heads northeast along Samuels Creek to its mouth at Froman Creek and crosses the latter creek, where the route continues east to Coxs Creek. There, the highway meets the southern end of KY 2739 (Lenore Road) and intersects US 31E and US 150 (Louisville Road).
"Normally you'd expect the train to sweep the car off the tracks," he said. However, there were other exceptions to this pattern, such as the 2005 Glendale train crash in southern California, at that time the deadliest in the history of Metrolink, where an SUV abandoned at a grade crossing by a driver who decided not to commit suicide after all derailed the train that struck it, killing 11. The wedge-shaped end of the third rail used on Metro-North. The wedge facilitates connection with the shoe at grade crossings, but was implicated in the behavior of the rail in the collision Another unusual aspect was the configuration of the third rail.
The roadway continues straight as Queen Street, which carries NC 58, US 70 Business, and US 258 Business across the river into downtown Kinston. US 258 runs concurrently northwest along the US 70 four-lane divided highway; the two U.S. Highways have an intersection with NC 11 and NC 55 (Old Pink Hill Road) before crossing the river and meeting the other end of the highways' business routes, which follow Vernon Avenue. US 258 and US 70 follow Vernon Avenue a short distance west to where US 258 turns north. The U.S. Highway has an at-grade crossing with the North Carolina Railroad and meets the western end of NC 148 (C.
East of the river, the U.S. Highways have a partial cloverleaf interchange with SR 189, which joins US 58 heading east toward Norfolk while US 258 exits the freeway and heads north, becoming Great Mill Highway on entering Isle of Wight County southeast of Franklin. When Great Mill Highway continues north toward an industrial area on the east side of Franklin, US 258 veers northeast on Camp Family Highway, crosses over Norfolk Southern Railway's Franklin District, and meets the northern end of US 258 Business at its intersection with US 58 Business (Carrsville Highway) just north of its grade crossing of CSX's Portsmouth Subdivision rail line and just south of Franklin Municipal-John Beverly Rose Airport.
The crossing was installed in 1882 by the California Southern Railroad to cross the Southern Pacific Railroad tracks while building northward from San Diego. As a result of railroad acquisitions and mergers, this became the point at which the Burlington Northern Santa Fe's "Southern Transcontinental Route" crossed the Union Pacific's "Sunset Route". As traffic on each line began to soar in the mid-1990s, fueled largely by the vast increase in imports passing through the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, the primitive crossing became a serious bottleneck. On August 28, 2013, the at-grade crossing was officially replaced by a fly-over that raises the east–west UP tracks over the north–south BNSF tracks.
K-209's terminus with US-77 K-209 is a spur route that serves the city of Woodbine, which lies in east central Dickinson County on the west side of the Dickinson–Morris county line. The highway begins at the northwest corner of the city at the intersection of Western Avenue and Eighth Street, which is also an intersection of orthogonal section line roads. K-209 follows the north city limit through a grade crossing with the heritage Abilene and Smoky Valley Railroad to the northeast corner of the city at Gillett Road. The highway crosses Lyon Creek, intersects Wolf Road, and curves away from and back to the east–west section line the route followed from Woodbine.
Maryland Route 449 was the designation for Aiken Avenue Extended and Clayton Street, which spanned in Perryville in western Cecil County. Aiken Avenue Extended ran from US 222 (now MD 222 at that highway's modern intersection with US 40 north to the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad (now CSX's Philadelphia Subdivision), and Clayton Street extended from the railroad northeast to US 222. MD 449 was the old course of MD 268, which was replaced by a southern extension of US 222 in 1938. MD 449 was assigned to old MD 268 when MD 268's grade crossing of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad was replaced by a bridge at the hamlet of Aiken (also spelled Aikin) between 1931 and 1934.
The highway has a grade crossing of the Union Pacific Railroad and curves north onto Missouri Street to pass through the Alma Downtown Historic District, which includes the Wabaunsee County Courthouse, the Wabaunsee County Historical Museum, and the Stuewe House. South of the Brandt Hotel, K-99 turns east onto 7th Street and curves north to leave town as it approaches the railroad. North of Alma, the highway crosses Hendricks Creek and has a diamond interchange with I-70 and US-40. K-99 meets the eastern end of K-18 east of the unincorporated village of Wabaunsee and crosses the Kansas River on the K-99 Wamego Bridge into the city of Wamego in Pottawatomie County.
Oak Park station was opened on January 25, 1901, by the Lake Street Elevated Railroad as a surface-level station on the line that ran parallel to the former Chicago and Northwestern Railway line (today's Union Pacific / West Line). Both lines created an unsafe grade crossing, especially as the community moved from horse-powered vehicles to the automobile. When the C&NW; elevated its line between 1908 and 1909, it created a blind spot for traffic trying to cross the Lake Street Line. On October 28, 1962, the station was elevated on an embankment and the main entrance was rebuilt by taking advantage of the small space along the road to include a ticket window and enclosed waiting rooms.
US 178 leaves the town along Pendleton Street and drops to two lanes again south of town. The highway passes Pickens County Airport on its way to Liberty. The U.S. Highway, which enters the town along Pickens Drive, intersects SC 93 (Main Street) in the center of the town and has a grade crossing of Norfolk Southern Railway's Greenville District as it leaves town along Anderson Drive. Just south of the town limits, US 178 has a diamond interchange with US 123 (Calhoun Memorial Highway). US 178 meets the southern end of SC 135 shortly before entering Anderson County, where the highway becomes Liberty Highway and intersects SC 88 (Old Greenville Highway).
The planned Southwest Corridor light rail line will parallel the Cedar Lake Trail from near Royalston Avenue southwest to just past Interstate 394, a distance of about . At that point, the light rail line will diverge to the southwest parallel to the Kenilworth Trail. The line is currently expected to open in 2016. The Cedar Lake Park Association (CLPA), a grass-roots citizens group that spearheaded the campaign to buy the land and built the trail in the 1990s, noted in their Fall 2010 Update that an at-grade crossing of Cedar Lake Regional Trail and the Southwest LRT would pose several problems, including severe traffic flow restrictions for bicycles and pedestrians, as well as safety concerns.
Completion of the $9.8 million contract is scheduled for February 2021. Contract #2 includes the reconstruction of 46 culverts, cleaning 16 additional culverts and removal of one more, reconstruction of one grade crossing, and construction of six wetland impact mitigation areas. The $18.3 million contract was awarded to J.F. White on March 6, 2019, with completion expected in June 2020. Contract #3 includes replacement of four railroad bridges and one culvert, plus of track replacement. The $26.1 million contract was awarded to J.F. White, with completion planned for November 2020. On May 11, 2020, a $159 million contract (#7) was awarded to Skanska DW White JV for the Fall River Secondary portion of phase 1.
Elevation of the line sparked grass-roots efforts to preserve the previous versions of Wantagh and Lindendurst Stations, the former of which resulted in the creation of the Wantagh Railroad Museum. The last station to be elevated on the branch was Massapequa Park on December 13, 1980.LIRR Grade Crossing Elimination Projects (TraisnAreFun.com) Color light signals on the Babylon lineOn December 30, 1968, the first revenue train of M1 cars departed Babylon for Penn Station. In anticipation, all stations that were still at grade level had their platforms converted from low-level to high-level (an increase of 4 feet) from late-1967 to late-1968 in time for when the fleet went into service.
On the day of the dash, every road grade crossing was manned by a flagman to stop automobile traffic ahead of the train and to ensure that the crossing was clear. Stations along the route were protected by local police officers and members of the American Legion and the Boy Scouts of America.Zimmerman, p. 37. The train left Denver at 07:04 Central Daylight Time and at 20:09, 13 hours 5 minutes later, broke through the tape at the designated finish line at Halsted Street station, 1.8 miles west of Chicago Union Station. The train's average speed from start to finish was 77 mph (124 km/h); and had reached a speed of 112.5 mph (181 km/h).
Centralia Road terminates at CR 491 (Citrus Way), but CR 476 turns northeast onto that route, then curves directly to the east between the mining lands of northern Hernando County. After CR 476/491 makes a sharp turn to the north, CR 476 breaks away at Lake Lindsey Road, which heads straight east once again. In this segment it still runs north of a local sand mine, until it makes a sharp turn to the north at Alligator Trail, and another entrance to one of the mines. After a grade crossing with the CSX Brooksville Subdivision Lake Lindsey Road makes a sharp turn to the east while Annutalaga Avenue continues to the north.
View east at the west end of SR 238 at US 60 in Newport News SR 238 begins at an oblique intersection with US 60 (Warwick Boulevard) in the Lee Hall area of the independent city of Newport News. The state highway heads north as two-lane Yorktown Road and immediately has a grade crossing of CSX's Peninsula Subdivision. SR 238 passes the Lee Hall Mansion before expanded to a four-lane divided highway through its partial diamond interchange with I-64. The interchange provides access to and from the direction of Norfolk; access to I-64 in the direction of Richmond is provided by SR 143 (Jefferson Avenue) at the next intersection.
With the Northern State Parkway now constructed up to Union Avenue in Westbury, the plans of the LISPC shifted towards extending the highway into Suffolk County. In late July 1940, the State Council of Parks approved $30 million out of $60 million for grade crossing eliminations, which included getting the Northern State from Union Avenue to the "Huntington–Amityville Highway" (current-day NY 110). However, by January 1941, the money had not yet been approved by the Legislature, which caused controversy over whether the money should be allotted. In late 1940, an amendment to the New York State Constitution had been passed so that the money could be shifted for use in parkway construction.
The state highway intersects MD 14 (Railroad Avenue) before leaving town as East New Market Ellwood Road. MD 16 crosses the Warwick River and Cabin Creek before meeting MD 331 (Waddells Corner Road) at Waddells Corner. MD 16 joins MD 331 in a concurrency that crosses Gravel Creek and passes Beulah Road, the old alignment of MD 16 and MD 331 through Ellwood. After an at-grade crossing of the Preston Branch of the Seaford Line of the Maryland and Delaware Railroad, the two state highways intersect MD 318 (Preston Road) and continue northwest as Preston Road, which passes near the Jacob and Hannah Leverton House before crossing Hunting Creek into Caroline County.
The Brighton Line passing over Coney Island Avenue in Brighton Beach In 1903, the New York State Legislature created the Brooklyn Grade Crossing Elimination Commission (BGCEC) to eliminate all grade crossings on the Brighton Beach Line and the Bay Ridge Line of the Long Island Rail Road. The city was supposed to cover half of the costs, not exceeding $1 million, while the railroads were to cover the other half of the costs. The work started on December 30, 1905, and was completed in 1908. A short piece of two-tracked elevated railroad was built from the ramp connecting to the Fulton Street Elevated as far as Park Place, where the original 1878 open cut began.

The station, and the road it is named after, are named for 17th-century tutor and surveyor Jacques Cortelyou, who had a hand in the establishment of New Utrecht. The original station at this location was opened around 1900 as a two-track street-level side platform station running south from a grade crossing at Avenue C. The station was established to serve the commercial area of Avenue C, a major thoroughfare which boasted the only east-west streetcar line between Church Avenue in Flatbush and Sheepshead Bay. The current station house and below-grade platforms were completed at the end of 1907. At the same time, the station was renamed from Avenue C to Cortelyou Road.
He served on the Los Angeles County Grade Crossing Commission and the Los Angeles Traffic Commission. Sanborn was unanimously elected president of the council in 1929–30, and, as such, he became acting mayor when Mayor John C. Porter took a trip to Europe in 1931. In this capacity he headed the Los Angeles welcoming party for Nobuhito, Prince Takamatsu of Japan, and his new wife, Lady Kikuko Tokugawa. Also during Sanborn's time as acting mayor, the Supreme Court gave authority to the State Railroad Commission to require the three railroads serving Los Angeles to collectively build one Union Station, which greatly improved traffic by eliminating twenty grade crossings and all train traffic from Alameda Street.
Several accidents proved fatal.Disbursement of funds from the Grade Crossing Protective Fund The main line then continues north along the shore of Puget Sound through the cities of Edmonds and Mukilteo, past Rucker Hill, near downtown Everett, to the old Everett Station, built by the Great Northern Railway in 1900. This section of the main line from Seattle to Everett is mostly double track with BNSF planning to double track the remaining single track in conjunction with changes planned by Sound Transit.Sound Transit Seattle-to-Everett Track & Signal Upgrades From the old Everett Station the main line becomes single track making a nearly 180 degree turn through a partially covered cut through downtown Everett to the new Everett Station.
In 2004, the police forces of both the PANYNJ and the NYPD announced concerns that the proposed One World Trade Center would be too close to the West Side Highway and thus vulnerable to car bombs. This prompted a total redesign of the tower and the relocation of its site away from the highway. There used to be four West Street pedestrian bridges, two of them erected after the September 11 attacks. A below-grade crossing of the West Side Highway connecting the Brookfield Place (formerly the World Financial Center) complex and the Concourse level of the World Trade Center opened in October 2013, allowing the pedestrian bridge adjacent to Vesey Street to be removed.
North of West Green Bay Lane, the road curves from straight north to northeast. After passing some residential dead end streets it runs under a power line right of way near the site of the proposed interchange with Suncoast Parkway. From there it passes through some tree farms, then encounters a grade crossing with a railroad line leading to the Crystal River 3 Nuclear Power Plant, and a second power line right-of-way right after that. At some point after West Laura Street, the road enters Citronelle, runs straight north again, and passes the western terminus of West Dunklin Street, a local road used by schools and a Citrus County Recycling area.
One of these proposals, a station at Farmdale, was reviewed by the assigned Administrative Law Judge of the CPUC. In her written decision dated 22 March 2010, the judge ruled that the Farmdale Station could be added to the project by including a CPUC-approved Addendum to the Final EIR, without having to redo the entire project's EIR. The final decision to authorize the grade crossing (and thus, construction of Farmdale Station) was made by the commission on 29 July 2010. All trains operating on the Expo line would be required to come to a complete stop at the Farmdale station, which features near-side stations at the intersection of Farmdale Avenue, thus increasing safety for pedestrians and students in the area.
View north along MD 299 at MD 313 and MD 330 in Massey MD 299 begins at a four-way intersection with MD 313 and MD 330 at the hamlet of Massey in eastern Kent County. MD 313 heads northbound to the west and southbound as Galena Road, and MD 330 heads eastbound as Maryland Line Road. MD 299 heads northbound as two-lane undivided Massey Road and immediately has a grade crossing of the Chestertown Branch of the Northern Line of the Maryland and Delaware Railroad just west of the junction of the Centreville and Chestertown branches of the Northern Line. The highway crosses Jacobs Creek before an intersection with the northern terminus of MD 290 (Galena Sassafras Road).
South of the station, the 2 tracks merge into 1 and shortly after, it crosses Oxford Avenue (PA 232) on the line's only grade crossing. Just north of the station, the now closed portion of the line crosses Rhawn Street at grade and continues into the woods although both tracks are now blocked off with bumper blocks before the road crossing. SEPTA rebuilt the station area and ticket office in Summer 2010, using funds provided by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.Fox Chase is onboard with Plans for Train Station In FY 2013, Fox Chase station was the ninth busiest station in the SEPTA Regional Rail system, with a weekday average of 1378 boardings and 1327 alightings.
SR 165 continues east through a densely populated suburban area toward the Great Bridge area of Chesapeake. Just west of the Chesapeake municipal complex, the state highway reduces to three lanes--two lanes heading east and one lane toward the west--for the last segment of the highway east to SR 168 Business (Battlefield Boulevard), a five-lane road with center turn lane. After a short concurrency with SR 168 Business, SR 165 turns east onto Mt. Pleasant Road, which is a four-lane divided highway until just east of its partial cloverleaf interchange with SR 168 (Great Bridge Bypass). The state highway reduces to two lanes and crosses a creek and has a grade crossing of the Chesapeake and Albemarle Railroad.
The line became the New Haven's primary mainline to Boston; it was realigned in Boston in 1899 during the construction of South Station, and in Pawtucket and Central Falls in 1916 for grade crossing elimination. The line became part of the Penn Central system in 1969; the section in Massachusetts was purchased by the state in 1973, while Amtrak acquired the Rhode Island section in 1976. The line was electrified in 2000; it is now part of Amtrak's Northeast Corridor, used by high-speed Acela Express service, intercity Northeast Regional service, and MBTA Commuter Rail Providence/Stoughton Line local service. The rapid transit MBTA Orange Line shares the right-of-way for several miles in the 1987-built Southwest Corridor section in Boston.
In order to do this, it acquired the homes on the east side of the street and demolished them, opening up the space in front of the homes on the west. The neighborhood changed again in 1928, when the railroad decided to expand the main line to four tracks and closed off the Main Street grade crossing. It was replaced by the new Bridge Street, which intersected Stone just south of today's district, making it a little more accessible to the center of the small community. Since then some of the houses have been converted into apartments, as New Hamburg's days as a commercial shipping center have long ended, and the New York Central has given way to Metro-North's commuter service.
In this last case, the overhead portion was a remnant of the Chicago North Shore and Milwaukee Railroad's high-speed Skokie Valley Route, and was the only line on the entire Chicago subway system to utilize pantograph collection for any length. As such, the line required railcars that featured pantographs as well as third rail shoes, and since the overhead was a very small portion of the system, only a few cars would be so equipped. The changeover occurred at the grade crossing at East Prairie, the former site of the Crawford-East Prairie station. Here, trains bound for Dempster-Skokie would raise their pantographs, while those bound for Howard would lower theirs, doing so at speed in both instances.
View east along SR 185 just east of I-81 near Edinburg SR 185 begins at a three-way intersection at the southern end of SR 686 (South Ox Road) just west of Edinburg. The road continues west as SR 675 (Stoney Creek Road); that secondary highway has a signed concurrency with SR 185, although the secondary highway is not officially part of the primary highway. SR 185 heads southeast through a diamond interchange with I-81 and enters the town of Edinburg running parallel to Stony Creek to the south. The state highway has a grade crossing of Norfolk Southern Railway's B-Line before reaching its eastern terminus at US 11 (Main Street) at the west end of downtown Edinburg.
In the late 1990s and early 2000s the Richmond Parkway was built along Richmond's western industrial and northwestern parkland, connecting Interstates 80 and 580. In the early 1900s, the Santa Fe railroad established a major railyard next to Point Richmond. It constructed a tunnel through the Potrero San Pablo ridge to run track from the yard to a ferry landing from which freight cars could be transshipped to San Francisco. Where this track crosses the main street in Point Richmond, there remain two of the last operational wigwag grade crossing signals in the United States, and the only surviving examples of the "upside- down" type. The wigwag is a type of railroad crossing signal that was phased out in the 1970s and '80s across the country.
Hopewell station, served until 1981, would be served again under the proposal Presently, the route is owned by CSX Transportation; all station platforms have been removed except at West Trenton, which is currently used by the West Trenton Line, a SEPTA commuter service to Philadelphia which also operates on the Trenton Subdivision. Additional track would be added to the existing right-of-way as part of the plan. A second track would be installed between the Sunnymeade Road grade crossing and Port Reading Junction, where the West Trenton Line diverges from the Lehigh Line, for a distance of 2.8 miles. A second track would also be installed between Pennington – Hopewell Road Bridge and the Belle Mead station for a distance of 10 miles.
Originally named "Moriches station" for the nearby towns of Moriches, Center Moriches and East Moriches, despite being located east of the Moricheses, the station was built in March 1870 on the southeast corner of the at-grade crossing of Montauk Highway for what was then the Sag Harbor Branch of the Long Island Railroad. The Sag Harbor Branch was built by Oliver Charlick to prevent the South Side Railroad of Long Island from extending east of Patchogue. The former station house was moved behind a gas station off of Montauk Highway and converted into a garage bay. The former South Side Railroad of Long Island main line was extended to Eastport Station on July 27, 1881 after eventual acquisition by the LIRR.
The IN immediately began to repair and rebuild trackage, spending $3 million on track improvements within its first two years of operation. In 1994 the railroad would gain back on-line customers that had turned to trucking and by 1996 the railroad was hauling 3,400 carloads a year of grain, flour, sugar, food products, fertilizer, plastic and other commodities. Since it began the IN has continued to spend millions of dollars to upgrade its tracks with roadbed, rail, bridge and grade crossing improvements which enables the railroad to haul heavier trains at higher speeds.Indiana Northeastern Railroad seeking $1.25 million Steuben County loan Indiana Economic Digest, March 6, 2012 The RUA would sell its more than 19 mile long Coldwater to Sturgis segment to Indiana Northeastern in 2004.
The Victorian-style Brockton station before it was replaced in the 1890s On June 21, 1890, the Massachusetts General Court passed An Act to Promote the Abolition of Grade Crossings, which allowed town officials or a railroad company to petition the state superior court to create an independent commission to determine whether a grade crossing could and should be eliminated. The costs of such eliminations were to be paid 65% by the railroad, not more than 10% by the town, and the remainder by the state. The small local cost provided towns incentive to petition for crossing eliminations to prevent public thoroughfares from being blocked by trains. Numerous municipalities soon agitated for crossing eliminations, with Brockton's April 1891 petition the first of the lot.
The 1890 law had only authorized municipalities to eliminate crossings with public roads; however, many crossings in Brockton were private roads that the city did not have the right to modify. On June 15, 1892, the General Court authorized Brockton to include private roads in its grade separation project. The bridge over Court Street, one of five massive stone arch bridges built during the grade crossing elimination project As the petition to consider elimination of all grade crossings in the city was under way, city engineer F. Herbert Snow prepared a preliminary plan. The proposal called for tracks to be raised and streets lowered through the city center, and the tracks lowered and streets raised in the Campello village to the south.
Metro-North P32AC-DM #202 arrives at Ossining station in July 2010 The GE Genesis series is unique among recently manufactured North American passenger locomotives in that it uses a single, monocoque carbody design styled by industrial designer Cesar Vergara, thus making it lighter, more aerodynamic, and more fuel efficient than its predecessors (F40PH, F59PH, P30CH, P32-BWH). However, this makes it more costly and time-consuming to maintain and repair. In 2004, Amtrak started installing bolt-on nose cones on its units for easy replacement in the event of a grade crossing collision with a vehicle. As an example of the improvements over the predecessor locomotives, the Genesis is 22% more fuel-efficient than the F40PH while producing 25% more horsepower.
Momentarily curving east in Satsuma, the road crosses one creek before entering San Mateo where it begins at yet another concurrency, in this case with SR 20/SR 100\. All three roads enter Palatka, and after the intersection with SR 207, US 17 again crosses the St. Johns River, along with SR 20/SR 100 on the Palatka Memorial Bridge. From here, SR 20 breaks away onto South 9th Street and heads west towards Gainesville and the Florida Panhandle, and then US 17/SR 100 pass by the historic Palatka Amtrak station, originally known as the Old Atlantic Coast Line Union Depot, which now serves as the Palatka Railroad Preservation Society and the Browning Railroad Museum, where it encounters a grade crossing.
NY 429 in North Tonawanda NY 429 begins on the banks of the Niagara River at a junction with NY 265 and NY 384 in downtown North Tonawanda. The route heads east as Wheatfield Street, crossing the CSX Transportation-owned Niagara Subdivision at a grade crossing that separates an industrialized block of the street from more residential sections to the east. After three blocks, NY 429 turns onto Oliver Street and follows it northwestward through residential and industrial portions of the city, paralleling NY 265 and NY 384 for to a junction with Ward Road. Oliver Street and Ward Road merge here, and the combined street takes on the Ward Road name as it proceeds due northward through the solely residential northern portion of North Tonawanda.
US 321 near Hardeeville. Beginning at the intersection with Church Street at US 321 in unincorporated West Hardeeville, the route serves as a marked continuation of Church Street and heads southeast, The road enters the Hardeeville City Limits as it approaches a grade crossing with the CSX Charleston Subdivision as well as a junction to a small lumber yard, then intersects US 17 where Church Street becomes Main Street. Along the way it passes the community library and the city hall, and later runs beneath Interstate 95. Though no direct interchange exists with I-95, a convenient frontage road along the northbound lane provides access south to Exit 5 at US 17, more specifically the northbound on and off ramps of that interchange.
BNSF Special Agents may have investigative and arrest powers both on and off railroad property if authorized by the state in which they are working. They carry interstate authority as provided by federal law (Title 49, USC, Section 28101.) This authority allows railroad police to conduct law enforcement activities in other states the railroads operate in. Special Agents typically investigate major incidents such as derailments, sabotage, grade crossing accidents and hazardous material accidents and minor issues such as trespassing on the railroad right of way, vandalism/graffiti, and theft of company property or customer product. Special Agents often coordinate and liaise with local, state, and federal law enforcement on issues concerning the railroad and are dispatched nationally through BNSF Headquarters in Fort Worth, TX.
The highway's name changes to Philpott Road and it crosses the Dan River. US 360 and US 58 pass through the hamlets of Delila, where the U.S. Highways meet the northern end of SR 119 (Calvary Road) and Turbeville before reaching the community of Riverdale on the south side of the Dan River opposite South Boston. The U.S. Highways have a grade crossing of Norfolk Southern's Durham District rail line and intersect US 501 (Huell Matthews Highway), where the highways begin to follow Bill Tuck Highway. A short distance east of US 501, US 360 and US 58 diverge, with the former highway turning north onto James D. Hagood Highway to cross the Dan River and Norfolk Southern's Danville-Richmond rail line.
Ramps to and from the freeway continue east from here but SR 297 turns north onto the three-to-four-lane Raff Road. After an intersection with Southway Street (partly the former routing of US 62), the road has a grade crossing with a Norfolk Southern railroad and continues north-northeast through a light industrial area of Canton Township. At the intersection of 13th Street, SR 297 enters Canton as a three lane road (one travel land in each direction plus a center turn lane) and passes through a mostly residential neighborhood. Signage for SR 297 ends at its intersection with Tuscarawas Street, SR 172 but the Ohio Department of Transportation's official documents for the road show it continuing west along SR 172 for .
State Road 492 begins as a continuation of Northwest 10th Street at the north end of the concurrency of US 27, and US 301-441. Two blocks later, the road crosses a grade crossing of a Florida Northern Railroad spur leading to the Evergreen Cemetery. At North Magnolia Avenue (County Road 464A (CR 464A)), the road turns into Northeast 10th Street, but within the block the road crosses a railroad line also owned by Florida Northern Railroad, and then Northeast Osceola Avenue before entering the "New" 14th Street Overpass, which goes over another railroad line specifically the CSX Wildwood Subdivision, part of the CSX S-Line that was used by Amtrak until 2004. This segment is the only part of the road that's divided.
Vicki then tries killing Kevin by stopping their car at a certain point in the road and drugging him - which happens to be on a grade crossing right as the lights begin to flash and the gates begin to lower. Monk and Sharona arrive, having followed him thanks to a travel brochure, and after a struggle with Vicki, throw the switch at the crossover to shift the approaching train to the other track, just in the nick of time, sparing Kevin. Although Kevin gets his money back, by the time he makes his next appearance in "Mr. Monk and the Game Show," he has lost it all to a number of serious misfortunes, including gambling losses, two greedy wives, and a dishonest accountant.
This section of the road then curves towards the old section which runs along Trinity Cemetery, the site of the former Zahn's Airport, and behind the Sisters of St. Dominic Motherhouse Complex, which was previously known as the Queen of the Rosary Academy. After bi-secting Albany Avenue, the road approaches an at-grade crossing of the Central Branch of the Long Island Rail Road and immediately intersects NY 109\. After the immediate intersection with NY 109, CR 28's southern section terminates with the Southern State Parkway, but the roadway continues northward on the south and eastern circumferences of Republic Airport. North of the industrial zone in East Farmingdale, Republic Road regains the designation of CR 28 at the Babylon/Huntington town line.
County Route 92 is Oakwood Road, the most westerly county road in Huntington township. It begins at NY 25 (Jericho Turnpike) in West Hills, east of the intersection of Sweet Hollow Road, which runs through West Hills County Park before heading south to CR 3\. Though described as a two-lane road, it often provides a center-left turn lane that isn't necessarily continuous. Motorists are left with no doubt that they're in Huntington Manor when CR 92 runs along the east side of Oakwood Park, near the southwest corner of the grade crossing with the Port Jefferson Branch of the Long Island Rail Road, and immediately intersects 11th Street, which serves as the southern end of the multiplex with New York State Bicycle Route 25A.
Party lines had not formed yet in terms of opposing it, although Moses was appealing to the Republicans in the Legislature to get the money passed, which included $5.5 million to the Northern State extension. In April 1941, Governor Lehman passed the bill that would transfer the $30 million from the unspent grade crossing funds to the construction of parkways through Long Island and Westchester. The money was set aside for construction of the Northern State extension, which was advertised to benefit traffic on the North Hempstead Turnpike (NY 25A) and the Jericho Turnpike, as well as bring several central Long Island municipalities into the parkway system. The new, extension would end at NY 110, less than a mile from the birthplace of poet Walt Whitman.
The original station at this location was opened around 1900 as a two-track street-level side platform station running south from a grade crossing at Beverley Road. The station was established to serve the then-new upscale planned community of Prospect Park South. The current station house and below-grade platforms were completed at the end of 1907, and have been on the National Register of Historic Places since 2004.Kings County Listings on the National Register of Historic Places (Structure #04001024) During the 1964–1965 fiscal year, the platforms at Beverley Road, along with those at six other stations on the Brighton Line, were lengthened to to accommodate a ten- car train of -long IND cars, or a nine-car train of -long BMT cars.
Beach 44th Street–Frank Avenue was originally a trolley stop of the Ocean Electric Railway, which used a former segment of the Long Island Rail Road's Far Rockaway Branch tracks, until it became a Long Island Railroad Station in 1922. The station was relocated 758 feet east of its former location between August 2 and August 23, 1940 as part of a grade crossing elimination project between Beach 44th Street and Beach 47th Street. The new elevated station was opened on April 10, 1942. The station was purchased by New York City on October 3, 1955, along with the rest of the Rockaway Beach Branch and Far Rockaway Branch west of Far Rockaway, after a fire on the line's crossing over Jamaica Bay in 1950.
SR 464 begins on the southeast side of SR 200, across from the intersection of Southwest 20th Court as Southwest 17th Street. The road runs southeast but immediately curves to the east before intersecting Southwest 19th Avenue Road. From there it continues its straight eastern trek as it approaches the newly constructed Railroad bridge over Southwest 7th Road and Avenue at the CSX Wildwood Subdivision, part of the CSX S-Line. After leveling out from the new bridge, the road intersects U.S. Routes 27 (US 27), US 301, and US 441\. At Southeast Third Avenue SR 464 becomes Southeast 17th Street, which soon enough intersects CR 464A (South Magnolia Avenue/Southeast Lake Weir Road), and then a grade-crossing with a railroad freight line.
The road enters downtown Chipley just before the intersection of US 90 (Jackson Avenue). Just over a block to the north it crosses an at-grade crossing with CSX P&A; Subdivision a block west of the Chipley Amtrak station, as well as the former Louisville and Nashville Railroad depot that it replaced. Though the road leaves downtown, it remains within the city limits as it enters a mostly residential area of the city which includes a culvert over a small creek between Watts and Coggin Avenues and the eastern terminus of County Road 166 (Old Bonifay Road). The next intersection is with Campbellton Avenue and then SR 273 makes a right turn onto Glenwood Avenue, leading to the very community for which the previous local street is named.
In the 1950s they started a new publicity campaign, adopting a new "Dashing Dan" and "Dashing Dottie" logo and painted its trains in a gray color scheme. The railroad also continued to perform major capital improvement projects. During the 1950s and 1960s the Montauk Branch between Jamaica and Babylon continued going through a massive grade crossing elimination project, with the line being elevated from street level over a number of years; the Rockville Centre train crash occurred on a temporary track that was laid while the elevated viaduct was being built. Mandated by federal and state agencies after the 1950 train collisions, the railroad began to install an Automatic Speed Control system to supplement (and later replace) the wayside automatic block signal system on a majority of its lines.
In spite of the accident, 110 of the train's passengers boarded the steamship bound for Germany the following morning. Several days after the accident, a jury convened in a coroner's inquest at the new opera house in Washington, New Jersey, heard testimony that pinpointed the cause of the derailment. Elmer Clayton, Mansfield Township's road supervisor, testified that the gutters on Hazen Road had been dug out recently near the area of the train accident and this material--dirt, gravel and stones--had been pushed to the center of the road to build up the crown in anticipation of laying macadam. He surmised that this loose debris had been washed down the steep slope during the rain storm and then onto the grade crossing where it clogged the flangeways, thus leading to the derailment.
Farm to Market Road 417 (FM 417) is a farm to market road in Shelby County running from US 96 near the community of Choice to FM 139 in the town of Huxley within the confines of the Sabine National Forest. The highway travels east from its western terminus for about before turning north at FM 2140. After heading through a reverse curve featuring a grade crossing with the Timber Rock Railroad, FM 417 heads north and northeast through a mix of forest and ranch lands. It intersects FM 2975 at its northern terminus before continuing to Shelbyville. In Shelbyville, there is a concurrency with SH 87. Continuing east from the end of the concurrency, FM 417 intersects FM 2694 at the latter's western terminus and enters Sabine National Forest upon crossing the Beauchamp Creek.
On March 1, 1893 the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad (NYNH&H;) – commonly known as the New Haven Railroad – leased the entire Old Colony system for 99 years, which by then included the leased Boston and Providence Railroad and everything substantially east of it, as well as long branches northwest to Fitchburg and Lowell. Along with the lease of the New England Railroad in 1898, the 1893 lease arrangement gave the NYNH&H; a virtual monopoly on rail transport in southern New England. On September 22, 1895, the New Haven converted all former Old Colony lines from left-hand running to right-hand running. On April 6, 1902, a new alignment was opened from Broadway to Crescent Avenue station, eliminating a grade crossing of Dorchester Avenue.
400 South, which is also known as University Boulevard, passes through the eastern edge of downtown and meets the northern end of SR-71 at 700 East. SR-186 then curves south (effectively becoming 1000 East for a short time) one block to climb the escarpment forming the boundary of the East Bench, subsequently becoming 500 South. The honorary University Boulevard name follows this curve as well. After the light rail tracks leave the median with a gated grade crossing of the westbound lanes, the route passes the University of Utah's Rice-Eccles Stadium, various University of Utah support buildings in the southern reaches of the campus, the Veteran's Administration Hospital, and a small military area (the remnants of Fort Douglas) before turning southeast and becoming Foothill Drive (also known as Foothill Boulevard).
Though the northbound lanes are still considered part of the Golden Isles Parkway, street name signs still refer to it as Railroad Street, as they do to the local street on the opposite side of the railroad tracks. Though the historic Telfair County Courthouse and Jail can be seen from both northbound and southbound US 23/341, it is officially located only on the southbound street. The northbound street passes a former Southern Railway station across from an agricultural seed and feed store at the intersection of Second Street, which has a former grade crossing that was closed, and then intersects with US 280-319-441. The one-way split ends between Fifth and Sixth Avenues. US 23/341/SR 27 crosses the former McRae- Helena border at a shopping center called the Telfair Plaza.
US 113 intersects DE 36 (Shawnee Road/Lakeview Avenue) on the southwest side of town before crossing the river into Kent County between two of its impoundments, Silver Lake to the east and Haven Lake to the west. The highway has a grade crossing of the Delmarva Central Railroad's Indian River Subdivision track and intersects DE 14 (Milford Harrington Highway/Northwest Front Street). On the north side of Milford, US 113 passes the historic Walnut Farm and heads east of a park and pool lot at a local business before it intersects DE 1 Business (North Walnut Street) obliquely. DE 1 Business joins US 113 in a short concurrency that ends when both the state business loop and the U.S. Highway reach their respective northern termini at a partial interchange with DE 1\.
The U.S. Highway enters the town of Halifax and becomes Main Street, a three-lane road with center turn lane, at its grade crossing of Norfolk Southern's Durham District. US 501 continues to the county courthouse, where the highway intersects the very short SR 349 (Edmunds Boulevard) and SR 360 (Mountain Road), which runs concurrently with the U.S. Highway through the northern part of the town. The two highways diverge: SR 360 heads northeast as Bethel Road and US 501 heads northwest as two-lane L.P. Bailey Memorial Highway. which crosses Banister Lake, an impoundment of the Banister River, as it leaves the town of Halifax. US 501 passes through Volens and Acorn on its way to the hamlet of North Halifax, where the highway begins to run concurrently with SR 40 (Stage Coach Road).
There, the highway has a four-way intersection with Seminary Road, which continues southeast across I-495 (Capital Beltway), and Linden Lane, which heads southwest across an at-grade crossing of the rail line toward the redeveloped National Park Seminary and the U.S. Army's Forest Glen Annex. MD 192 turns east onto Forest Glen Road, which parallels the Beltway east. The route expands to a four-lane divided highway at Darcy Forest Drive and passes the Forest Glen Metro station before reaching its eastern terminus at MD 97 (Georgia Avenue) just north of that highway's interchange with the Beltway. Forest Glen Road continues east as a two-lane undivided county highway that passes Holy Cross Hospital and intersects Sligo Creek Parkway before ending just short of US 29 (Colesville Road) in Four Corners.
A National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) team investigated the crash. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen's (BLET) Safety Task Force assisted the NTSB. The Glendale Police Department led the criminal investigation, assisted by the Union Pacific Police Department, and the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, and the criminal case was tried in Los Angeles County Superior Court. The southbound Metrolink train (#100) struck the parked Jeep that had been driven by Álvarez onto the tracks at the Chevy Chase Drive grade crossing just west of San Fernando Road, pushing the Jeep southward along the track towards the Los Feliz Boulevard undercrossing until automotive parts struck a track switch and became lodged under the leading car of the Metrolink train, raising it up and causing the train to derail.
US 360 passes the Art Works artist colony before passing over Norfolk Southern crossing the James River on the Mayo Bridge, which crosses Mayo Island in the middle of the river. US 360 reaches the north side of the river just west of the Triple Crossing; the highway passes under the east-west viaduct of CSX's Rivanna Subdivision and has a grade crossing of Norfolk Southern's Richmond District. The U.S. Highway passes under SR 195 (Downtown Expressway) follows 14th Street into the Shockoe Bottom neighborhood, where US 360 turns east onto Main Street, which carries US 60 and the GRTC Pulse bus rapid transit line. The two highways pass under I-95 (Richmond-Petersburg Turnpike) and CSX's Bellwood Subdivision and by the Main Street Station serving Amtrak's Northeast Regional trains during their four-block concurrency.
After the divider ends, the road takes a slight curve to the right that ends at a bridge over Mill Creek, then enters "downtown" Ponce de Leon where it meets an at-grade crossing with the CSX P&A; Subdivision. After that crossing and the intersections with Maple Loop and Skelton Street, the road curves to the right again over another bridge over Sandy Creek, then turns straight north again. At US 90 SR 81 intersects at an angle, but north of there it has a connecting spur to and from US 90 on the northeast corner, which is the by-product of a former wye. State Road 81 takes a northwest curve at that connecting road, but after leaving the town limits, the road returns to a straight north trajectory.
The track was not equipped with track circuits to alert the rail traffic controller to the presence of a runaway train. About ten minutes before the derailment occurred, firefighter Jean-Luc Montminy who was heading home after helping put out the fire on the original locomotive of the train, was stopped at a grade crossing located on Quebec Route 161, located just south-east of where the train began to roll. He stated that the crossing had activated and was warning of an oncoming train, but after waiting for some time, he heard no horn or any signal that a train was approaching. Thinking that the crossing was malfunctioning, he proceeded over the intersection when just as he had finished crossing, a train without its headlights or horn passed through at a very fast speed.
The highways enter town on School Street and turn west onto Main Street, which passes by the Emmett Kelly Museum and the historic Bradford Hotel. K-99 and US-166 Bus. cross Deer Creek to leave the city and diverge; the business route heads southwest to rejoin US-166, and K-99 curves north toward Elk County. K-99 crosses the South Fork of Wildcat Creek, which feeds the Elk River, and has a grade crossing of the South Kansas and Oklahoma Railroad immediately to the south of its junction with US-160 east of Moline. The two highways cross the North Fork of Wildcat Creek together before they diverge; US-166 heads east toward Elk Falls. K-99 crosses the Mound Branch of the Elk River and the river itself south of Howard.
K-99 crosses Boxelder Creek and Rock Creek and passes the John McKimmons Barn on its way to the county seat of Westmoreland, where the route's path crosses that of the Oregon Trail and near the Rock Creek Valley Historical Society Museum. The highway has a brief concurrency with K-16 while passing to the west of the village of Blaine before it enters Marshall County. K-99 southbound by Summerfield K-99 crosses the Clear Fork of the Black Vermillion River and Cedar Creek on the way to Frankfort, at the south end of which the highway crosses the Black Vermillion River proper. The highway follows Kansas Avenue through a grade crossing of a Union Pacific rail line to 2nd Street, onto which K-99 turns east to join K-9.
In response to the crossing issues, Denver Transit Partners, the contractor building and operating the A Line, stationed crossing guards at each place where the A line crosses local streets at grade while it continues to explore software revisions and other fixes to address the underlying issues. The FRA is requiring frequent progress reports, but allowed RTD to open its B Line as originally scheduled on July 25, 2016, because the B Line only has one at-grade crossing along its current route that is not designated to be a quiet zone. However, FRA previously halted testing on the longer G Line to Wheat Ridge – originally scheduled to open in late 2016 – until more progress could be shown resolving the A Line crossing issues. On April 26, 2019, the G Line opened to the public.
The Monon Line has been abandoned in Hammond and Munster north of the junction with the Grand Trunk Western Railroad, but the corridor is planned to be rebuilt as the Northern Indiana Commuter Transportation District West Lake Corridor. Initially running as far south as Munster/Dyer Main Street, long term plans would see services extend as far as Lowell and Valparaiso, Indiana. All of the Monon's street running segments remain, except for the relocated Lafayette trackage. The last of the Monon's green-light grade crossing signals was apparently removed from service at a crossing a few miles north of New Albany in 2004, though this cannot be confirmed as the last such installation — many of those signals were installed on lightly traveled roads, out of notice of all but the most dedicated railfans.
The interchange of cars with the national rail system occurs only at the Lee Hall junction where interchange tracks exist linking the FEMRR to (originally) the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway (C&O;) (now CSX). FEMRR engines and cars were not permitted on C&O; tracks beyond the Yorktown Road grade crossing except in emergencies. Cars outbound from Fort Eustis would be spotted on a designated interchange track (other than passing track #493, which was a dedicated runaround track) and deemed delivered to the C&O; when the bills of lading and switch lists were signed by the C&O; station agent. Inbound cars would be spotted on the interchange track by the C&O; and deemed delivered to the Government when uncoupled from the engine (or the rest of the train) that brought them there.
VT 119 through Brattleboro NH 119 begins at the Vermont state line at the west bank of the Connecticut River. The highway continues as VT 119 (Bridge Street) into downtown Brattleboro, where the highway has a grade crossing of the New England Central Railroad before its terminal intersection, from which US 5 heads west on Canal Street and north on Main Street, and VT 142 heads south as Vernon Street. NH 119 crosses the main channel of the Connecticut River on a truss bridge, then heads southeast along an unnamed island and crosses another channel to reach the east bank of the river. The highway, which is named Brattleboro Road, follows the east bank of the river southeast along the flank of Wantastiquet Mountain through the town of Hinsdale.
In Houston's Museum District, northbound and southbound trains take separate streets. As with the other METRORail lines, the Red Line is predominantly at-grade and street running, with paved tracks laid down the median of Main Street in downtown, Fannin Street to the south, and Fulton Street to the north. These tracks are not physically separated from road traffic, though they are located in dedicated lanes and trains receive priority at intersections at cross- streets by means of preempted traffic signals. However, flashing grade crossing signals and gates are present where trains cross parallel traffic lanes as they move from one street to another, and along the section of the line south of Old Spanish Trail, where tracks are laid out on a right-of-way parallel to the road rather than in the median.
Further north, the road runs along the eastern end of Wellwood Cemetery, and some private land abutting Beth Moses Cemetery and Colonial Springs Golf Course, both of which are across from Wyandanch Memorial High School. Two blocks north of the high school is an intersection with Long Island Avenue, on the south side of the at-grade crossing of the Ronkonkoma Branch of the Long Island Rail Road and then runs through Pinelawn Cemetery. On the east side of the road Pinelawn Cemetery ends at Colonial Springs Park, and on the west side it ends less than a block north at Long Island National Cemetery, which dominates the entire west side of the road until it ends. Little East Neck Road terminates at Colonial Springs Road, although at one time it extended much further north.
The route continues north into the center of the village, passing by several small businesses and Fairport Village Landing—the largest shopping plaza in the village—before crossing over the Erie Canal by way of a lift bridge and becoming North Main Street. Once on the north side of the canal, NY 250 crosses the CSX Transportation-owned Rochester and West Shore Subdivisions at a single grade crossing ahead of High Street. At this point, the businesses give way to homes as the highway ascends a hill at the north end of the village and meets Whitney Road at the northern village line. North of Whitney Road, NY 250 becomes Fairport–Nine Mile Point Road as it descends and ascends a series of small hills populated by homes on its way into Penfield.
Looking eastbound on SR 202 in downtown North Bend from the historic North Bend Theatre Mount Si, as it looks from SR 202 near North Bend SR 202 begins at an interchange with SR 522 northwest of downtown Woodinville and east of the I-405 interchange. The highway travels south on 131st Avenue NE, crossing under a railroad overpass, before turning west onto NE 175th Street. SR 202 then crosses a railroad grade crossing and bridges the Sammamish River, before turning south onto Redmond–Woodinville Road. The highway travels south along the west side of the Sammamish River valley into Woodinville wine country, a district of wineries and tasting rooms south of Woodinville. SR 202 turns east onto NE 145th Street and crosses over the Sammamish River, and then enters the first in a series of three roundabouts that turn the highway southward.
The highway crosses the Moshassuck River, has a grade crossing of a Providence and Worcester Railroad rail spur, and intersects Route 122 (Lonsdale Avenue) just before crossing over Amtrak's Northeast Corridor. At the western edge of downtown Pawtucket, Mineral Spring Avenue ends at its oblique intersection with Main Street between Mineral Spring Cemetery and Mineral Spring Park, which contains the Collyer Monument. Route 15 splits into a one-way pair; the eastbound highway heads east one block on Church Street and north one block on Pine Street to Main Street, and westbound Route 15 follows Main Street. Route 15 continues north on two-way Pine Street, then turns east onto Goff Avenue, which briefly expands to a four-lane divided boulevard around its intersection with Route 114 (Broad Street) next to the Pawtucket Elks Lodge Building.
The road makes one last left curve at Old Tomoka Avenue before approaching the grade crossing of the Florida East Coast Railroad main line, and then intersects with US 1 (North and South Yonge Street). The route continues, but the divider ends as SR 40 comes in close proximity to Ormond Beach City Hall on the southwest corner of Granada Boulevard and Beach Street(CR 4011). From there, SR 40 is overlapped by the Ormond Scenic Loop and Trail, where the divider begins again on the Granada Bridge over the Halifax River, and immediately intersects John Anderson Drive(CR 2803), where one leg of the scenic route heads north and West Granada Boulevard becomes East Granda Boulevard, before finally terminating at State Road A1A. The other leg of the Ormond Beach Scenic Loop heads north on SR A1A.
From there it encounters the northwestern terminus of County Road 69A (Shady Grove Road), which some maps show as being part of CR 280. Officially entering Grand Ridge SR 69's first intersection is with the Old Spanish Trail, which is also named Florida Street. Less than three and a half block later, it has a grade crossing with CSX's P&A; Subdivision, Its time in Grand Ridge ends right after it passes the Town Hall across from the Grand Ridge Baptist Church. The road still remains two-lanes wide even as it approaches a blinker-light intersection with US 90, although it does contain separated turning ramps on the southeast and northwest corners of the intersection. Beyond US 90 State Road 69 runs past some local and/or private dirt roads, as well as the local Grand Ridge Church of God.
It was found that this caused some confusion among people who were accustomed to steam locomotives and the sound of their whistles; when approaching a grade crossing, when some people heard an air horn they expected to see a truck, not a locomotive, and accidents happened. So, locomotive air horns were created that had a much higher, more musical note, tonally much more like a steam whistle. This is why most train horns have a unique sound, different from that of road going trucks, although many switch engines, which didn't see road service (service on the main lines), retained the deeper truck-like horns. Strict regulations specific to each country specify how loud horns must be, and how far in advance of grade crossings and other locations locomotive engineers are required to sound their horns to give adequate time to clear the tracks.
A few months later on December 11, the PSC authorized the LIRR to discontinue agents at Jamesport and Calverton among other depots, and Jamesport was closed. As of February 11, 1959, the agents were reassigned and the district manager delegated. The Jamesport depot, which was extensively remodeled in 1944, lay abandoned until it was razed on July 18, 1963."The Long Island Rail Road: A Comprehensive History: Part Six - The Golden Age 1881-1900," by Vincent F. Seyfried "The Long Island Rail Road: A Comprehensive History: Part Three - The Age of Expansion 1863-1880," by Vincent F. Seyfried A shelter shed was constructed in its place, just west of the depot location on North Railroad Avenue near the Washington Avenue grade crossing. On February 19, 1962, LIRR Road ‘n Rail began and a discontinuation of select rail service began.
East of here, it encounters a grade crossing with the CSX line that carries the Silver Star and Silver Meteor yet again, just before intersecting the road that leads to both Sebring Regional Airport and Sebring International Raceway. After these two sites, the road runs along the north shore of Lake Istokpoga, where it passes through Lorida. Beyond the lake, the road serves as the northern terminus of CR 621, but later enters the barely existing unincorporated community of Fort Basinger as it encounters the northern terminus of CR 721, while making a sharp curve to the northeast to cross a bridge over the Kissimmee River where it crosses the Highlands-Okeechobee County Line. Momentarily running northeast, the first moderate intersection that US 98 encounters is a segment of County Road 68 in Basinger, where it curves southeast and shares yet another concurrency.
From here, Route 10 heads through a commercial zone, expands to four lanes, and comes to a partial cloverleaf interchange with I-84, before it narrows back to two lanes after its intersection with West Queen Street. The route enters the town of Plainville as it intersects the southern terminus of Route 177, where its name also changes to East Street. In Plainville, Route 10 heads through a mix of residential and commercial areas, before it crosses the Highland Division of the former New York, New Haven, and Hartford Railroad at a grade crossing, and shortly afterward, Route 372 at an oblique intersection; eastbound Route 372 provides access to both the I-84 and the eastbound direction of the Route 72 freeway. Past Route 372, the route passes under Route 72 without an interchange, and continues through a residential neighborhood as Farmington Avenue.
Instead of backing into the space another driver had created for her, she went forward onto the tracks. Brody died when her vehicle was struck by the train; as her vehicle was pushed along the tracks it loosened more than of third rail, which broke into sections and went through the exterior of the first car, killing five passengers and starting a fire. Investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) focused on two issues in the accident: how the passengers were killed, since that rarely occurs in grade crossing collisions; and why Brody went forward into the train's path. After an unusually long delay for such investigations that it declined to explain, the board's 2017 final report found no defects with the vehicles, the crossing signage and associated traffic signal preemption, or the train engineer's performance.
US 123 reduces to a four-lane undivided highway, crosses over CSX's Belton Subdivision, and enters the city of Greenville just west of its intersection with SC 124 (Pendleton Street) and becomes Academy Street. The highway has a grade crossing with a Norfolk Southern rail line and crosses over the Reedy River and the Swamp Rabbit Trail (formerly Greenville and Northern Railway) on the western edge of downtown Greenville. US 123 intersects both directions of SC 183--Buncombe Street eastbound and College Street westbound--adjacent to the Greenville County Museum of Art before curving east to intersect Main Street and US 29 (Church Street). The highway then curves south and reaches its northern terminus at I-385 Business (North Street) a short distance west of the northern terminus of I-385 adjacent to the Bon Secours Wellness Arena.
This station replaced the station on the westbound track. As part of the construction of the new station, the operation of the switches where the line narrowed from two tracks to one began to be done from the station instead of being done manually. In addition, in 1910, a new freight house went into operation at Clifton, and new rails were installed as far south as Richmond Valley on the Perth Amboy Division. These new rails, which were heavier than the rails already in place on the southern section of the Perth Amboy Division, were expected to reduce the jarring of cars. On March 6, 1911, work began on the elimination of a grade crossing at Amboy Avenue in Huguenot, which the PSC had ordered to be eliminated, as it was considered the most dangerous crossing on the island.
Shortly before the highway entered the town of Westminster, it met the northern end of MD 683 (Poole Road). The U.S. Highway entered Westminster as Main Street, which had an intersection with MD 559 (Manchester Avenue) immediately after its junction with MD 32 (Washington Road). US 140 and MD 32 continued northwest to the center of town. There, the highways had in rapid succession an intersection with MD 31 (Railroad Avenue), which headed toward Manchester; a grade crossing of the Western Maryland Railway (now Maryland Midland Railway); and an intersection with the northern end of MD 27 (Liberty Street). US 140, MD 31, and MD 32 followed Main Street two more blocks before US 140 split north onto Pennsylvania Avenue; MD 31 and MD 32 continued on Main Street to where they diverged toward New Windsor and Taneytown, respectively.
The alignment would continue traveling in a northeasterly direction and after passing under Cesar Chavez Boulevard, the alignment would begin the transition back to the surface at the "east tunnel portal" and emerge at-grade, crossing Hawkins Street just a block east of Interstate 345 and encounter a wye junction allowing trains to continue either in a northern or southern direction. The wye junction would be located at the current location of Deep Ellum station, requiring it to be relocated a block north. The new station would be renamed Live Oak station and be served by the Orange Line, solely, as it travels north past the wye junction and eventually converge on to the Red and Blue Line alignment. The Green Line would serve the Deep Ellum area with service at Baylor University Medical Center station and continue along its existing alignment.
The connection to the Oyster Bay Branch was severed in 1928, while the portions of the line between Mineola and Country Life Press and between Country Life Press and West Hempstead were taken out of revenue passenger service on September 15, 1935 due to the costly grade crossing elimination improvements imposed upon the LIRR by the Interstate Commerce Commission, as well as the New York Public Service Commission. This meant that no more through service between Valley Stream and Mineola could operate. The track connection at Country Life Press to the West Hempstead Branch was removed on August 19, 1960, and on this same date the tracks were cut back from Country Life Press to the west side of the Franklin Avenue crossing. The remaining tracks north of West Hempstead at Hempstead Avenue were removed some time between 1967 and 1969.
County Route 82 is the designation for Higbie Lane from its starting point to Udall's Road, and for most of Udall's Road. It was named for the Richard Udall family who had an estate on South Country Road (now Montauk Highway). Higbie Lane starts as a two lane divided highway with a U-turn at NY 27A (Montauk Highway), between the historic La Grange Inn and the West Islip Public Library, and instantly becomes a two-lane undivided highway with a center-left-turn lane. Heading north, CR 82 intersect CR 50, immediately followed by an at-grade crossing of the Long Island Rail Road Montauk Branch near the Babylon Yard for the Babylon station, and then serves the west end of West Islip Boulevard, which runs along the north side of the tracks and becomes Orinoco Drive.
VT 117 begins at a five-way intersection in the incorporated village of Essex Junction north of the eponymous railroad wye and south of the eponymous Amtrak station in the town of Essex. VT 2A heads north and south from the junction along Lincoln Street and Park Street, respectively, and VT 15 heads west and northeast from the junction along Pearl Street and Main Street, respectively. VT 117 heads east through the Downtown Essex Junction Commercial Historic District along two-lane Maple Street, which has a grade crossing of the New England Central Railroad line that carries Amtrak. After leaving the village, the highway's name changes to River Road, it begins to parallel the Winooski River, and meets the eastern end of VT 289 (Chittenden County Circumferential Highway) at a pair of widely spaced ramps just west of Alder Brook.
Rail service in Hawthorne can be traced as far back as 1847, when the New York and Harlem Railroad built a line and a railroad station with the name "Unionville", the former name of Hawthorne itself. The railroad and the station became part of the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad in 1864 and was eventually taken over by the New York Central Railroad. By the early 20th century, when Rose Hawthorne Lathrop established a home for victims of incurable cancer, the community and the station were renamed "Hawthorne". A grade crossing existed just north of the station for Broadway at Elwood Avenue until 1951, when the New York State Department of Public Works realigned New York State Route 141 onto a bridge over the tracks south of the station leading to a wye at Elwood Road.
Originally, there was no State Road connection between I-95 and Key Biscayne when the Interstate highway was opened in 1967. The southernmost exit of the expressway was a short "trunk ramp" forming the southwestern end of Southwest 23rd Road at Southwest First Avenue (with the ramps having an at-grade crossing with Florida East Coast Railroad tracks before reaching First Avenue). Southbound traffic for the Miami Seaquarium, beaches, and other tourist attractions along the Rickenbacker Causeway would exit at Southwest 23rd Road, then take Southwest First Avenue to Southwest 25th Road, which would lead (via Brickell Avenue) to the toll booths on the entrance of the Causeway. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, the railroad tracks were removed and houses along Southwest First Avenue between Southwest 15th Road and Southwest 12th Avenue were demolished to make room for Metrorail.
Citrus County Road 470 begins on North Apopka Avenue at US 41-SR 44 across from South Apopka Avenue and around the southeast and northeast corners of the historic Old Citrus County Courthouse. Almost immediately after the old courthouse it runs past the existing Citrus County Courthouse, as well as other municipal buildings, then the former Seaboard Air Line Railroad station that's now a law office, and the former Atlantic Coast Line Railroad station that's a closed former station restaurant on the southeast corner of the grade crossing of the Withlacoochee State Trail. On the southwest corner of the trail crossing is a local road leading to the Inverness Trailhead, and a bicycle shop that rents bikes for trail users and other customers. The northwest and northeast corners of the trail crossing is strictly city parkland.
In Rochester, the RSR mainline splits into two lines just north of the Chili Avenue (NY-33A) grade crossing: the Belt Line, which runs north into the heart of the city; and the Lincoln Park line, which runs parallel to the CSX mainline until the Brown Street underpass, where it turns south and crosses King and Canal Streets. After crossing Canal St., the track leads to Morse Lumber, an online customer, as well as the former entrance to the Rochester Subway, which has since been fenced off. The RSR made deliveries of paper to Gannett Newspapers through the subway until 1996 when the printing operations were moved to Greece, a suburb of Rochester. The subway has not seen use since and likely never will again as the city of Rochester has plans in place to fill this section of the tunnel with dirt.
Route 11 was established as the West Philadelphia Passenger Railway Company in Darby on December 24, 1858, and ran as horsecars from 9th and Main Streets in Darby to 49th Street and Woodland Avenue in West Philadelphia. It was originally a segregated street car that required African- Americans to ride on platforms along with the driver, until abolitionist William Still challenged that rule between 1859 and 1867.William Still, Darby, and the Desegregation of Philadelphia Streetcars (DarbyHistory.com) In 1896, the line was extended as far east as Front Street via Chestnut and Walnut Streets, and was integrated into the subway–surface trolley system by the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company on December 15, 1906.1974 SEPTA Trolleys Brochure The at-grade crossing along Main Street at the intersection of Sixth Street in DarbyGoogle view of the crossing in Darby was the site of the Darby Baltimore and Ohio Railroad station.
Between the Boston terminal in Park Square and Forest Hills, the B&P; mainline was at grade except for Hogg's Bridge, which carried Centre Street over the railroad. As traffic increased both on local streets (including horsecars and streetcars) and on the railroad, the numerous grade crossings became increasingly dangerous. (The danger was present even in the earliest years of the railroad; in 1846, a man was killed by a train at the crossing at Tollgate station.) On June 21, 1890, the Massachusetts General Court passed An Act to Promote the Abolition of Grade Crossings, which allowed town officials or a railroad company to petition the state superior court to create an independent commission to determine whether a grade crossing could and should be eliminated. The costs of such eliminations were to be paid 65% by the railroad, not more than 10% by the town, and the remainder by the state.
On September 24, 1942 The Ambassador ran into the back of the Cleveland Express near Dickerson, Maryland northwest of Washington, DC. Twelve passengers and two crewmen were killed in the worst accident that the B&O; had suffered since 1907. On the night of March 9, 1949, as the Ambassador was leaving Martinsburg, West Virginia, two young men riding on the train as passengers began robbing other passengers, then walked through the train and its diesel locomotives to the head end and forced the engineer to back the train back to a grade crossing, where they got off. The robbers then held up a nearby tavern, stole a car, and later caught a bus, winding up in Washington, DC, the next day. Police, acting on a tip, arrested the two at a pawn shop, wounding one bandit who officers thought was drawing a gun (instead only reaching for an ID).
In addition, the loop was changed from being double-tracked to single tracked. The loop was designed to allow local trains to be turned around, and to pass under the express tracks under Park Row without an at-grade crossing, and to allow for a possible future extension south under Broadway. To allow for the switching back of express trains, a relay track was constructed under Park Row, allowing for a future southern extension under Broadway. The line south of Dyckman Street would be built underground, except for the section surrounding 125th Street, which would run across the elevated Manhattan Valley Viaduct to cross a deep valley there. On December 20, 1900, the contractor requested that the plans for the Manhattan Valley Viaduct be modified to allow for a three-track structure and for the construction of a third track at the 145th Street, 116th Street, and 110th Street stations.
The Sound Transit Board made the revised tunnel and South Bellevue alignment its new preferred route in April and requested further study into the impacts of rail construction in the Surrey Downs area. Sound Transit also approved the exploration of alternative designs for the Overlake Hospital station, the alignment through the Bel-Red area, and the Overlake Village station in Redmond. An additional downtown option, using a shorter tunnel beginning at Northeast 2nd Street and an at-grade crossing of Main Street, was also proposed by Sound Transit to help reduce costs amid an expected shortfall in revenue. Map of the preferred alignments selected by Sound Transit (B2M, colored blue) and the Bellevue City Council majority (B7, colored red) In July, the Bellevue City Council voted 4–3 to reject Sound Transit's six proposed South Bellevue options, in favor of its preferred alternative ("B7") using the Eastside Rail Corridor.
Access is only available from Woodside Avenue; however this interchange also includes an underpass for a driveway to the Holtsville I.R.S. office. Further north, motorists will encounter the southern terminus of Blue Point Road, which until the town of Islip allowed development on the west side of the road in the mid-20th century, actually reached Blue Point. The last intersection within range of the town of Islip is for Furrow Roads (eastern terminus of CR 90) and Barretts Avenue, both of which were once intended to be integrated into the Central Suffolk Highway. Before the grade crossing of the Main Line of the Long Island Rail Road, a driveway for the former site of the Holtsville train station, can be found on the right side, while the Islip–Brookhaven town line takes a left turn to follow the tracks into Ronkonkoma, and Lakeland.
Opened in 2013, the museum occupies the restored former Southern Pacific Freighthouse (built 1894) at 1940 Santa Barbara Avenue, adjacent to the Union Pacific main line and about one-quarter mile south of the San Luis Obispo Amtrak station. A standard-gauge display track extends along the east side of the building, and a short narrow-gauge display track is on the west side. The Freighthouse contains an exhibit hall and a model railroad depicting the three-foot-gauge Pacific Coast Railway at Port San Luis circa 1920 and the standard-gauge Southern Pacific Coast Line from Surf to Paso Robles, including the Cuesta Grade crossing of the Santa Lucia range circa 1950 (under construction in 2018 but largely operational). There is a children's play area incorporating hands-on train tables and a Museum Store offering railroad books, lanterns, and clothing, and other items.
Aside from South Barfield Highway, every other intersection with this segment is a residential street. East 7th Avenue then curves from east to south at another FEC grade crossing on the southwest corner of the southern terminus of State Road 729 near the western terminus of CR 717. South of that point, the road is named Belle Glade Road and later makes another reverse curve to the west and south again along the east side of that FEC line before eventually approaching Belle Glade. Before reaching the city limits though, US 98/441 makes a sharp left turn to the east at the intersection of the Hooker Highway, where State Road 80 joins the route, while SR 15 continues south along westbound SR 80. Eastern terminus in Palm Beach Between Belle Glade and Loxahatchee, US 98/441/SR 80 are surrounded by sugarcane fields.
The exit ramp from northbound US 113 intersects MD 575 a short distance south of its intersection with MD 589, and the southbound ramps connect with West Frontage Road (unsigned MD 575A), which serves St. Martin's Episcopal Church. US 113 continues through Showell, where the U.S. Highway crosses Church Branch, Middle Branch, and Birch Branch; these three streams together form Shingle Landing Prong of the St. Martin River, which empties into Isle of Wight Bay, a lagoon on the west side of Ocean City. Within Showell, the highway parallels Old US 113 (unsigned MD 575B), which is accessed at its south end with a right-in/right-out junction with southbound US 113 and full access via Shingle Landing Road. US 113 intersects MD 367 (Bishopville Road) at Bishop and has an oblique grade crossing with the rail line, then the route intersects the east end of MD 610 (Whaleyville Road).
Northbound MD 151 and northbound I-695 and the southbound directions of each highway are connected to each other by ramps. Northbound MD 151 crosses over I-695 and has a U-turn ramp before the highway's partial cloverleaf interchange with the ramps between I-695 and the northern end of MD 157 (Merritt Boulevard). There is no access from northbound MD 151 to MD 157 or between MD 151 and the ramps to I-695. The state highway continues northwest along the southern edge of the Eastpoint Mall ahead of its cloverleaf interchange with MD 150 (Eastern Avenue), then enters an industrial area where the highway has a grade crossing of the Canton Railroad. View north along MD 151 at Edison Highway and Mannasota Avenue in Baltimore MD 151 enters the city of Baltimore just west of its intersection with Rolling Mill Road and Kane Street.
In February 2001, the MBTA began two parallel planning processes for the North Shore region: a Draft Environment Impact Statement for the Blue Line Extension (DEIS), and a Major Investment Study (MIS) for other projects primarily north of Salem. The MIS, released in 2004, identified a number of possible improvements to the Newburyport/Rockport Line, including upgrades to current stations, grade crossing eliminations, signal system improvements, increased frequencies, a second Salem tunnel, a branch line to Danvers, and new stations at Revere and South Salem. A South Salem station would serve Salem State University, the North Shore Medical Center, and residential areas south of downtown Salem - some of which were served by the pre-1987 station, but only by the and 459 buses thereafter. The station was estimated to cost $12.2 to $13.8 million, with a single island platform serving the line's two tracks, and would draw about 600 daily riders.
There are also differences in terminology in the context of rail transport. The best known is railway in the UK and railroad in America, but there are several others. A railway station in the UK is a railroad station or train station in the US; trains have drivers (often called engine drivers) in the UK, while in America trains are driven by engineers; trains have guards in the UK and conductors in the US; a place where two tracks meet is called a set of points in the UK and a switch in the US; and a place where a road crosses a railway line at ground level is called a level crossing in the UK and a grade crossing in America. In the UK, the term sleeper is used for the devices that bear the weight of the rails and are known as ties or crossties in the United States.
Here, US 13/DE 9 continue north- northeast on four-lane undivided South Heald Street, coming to an intersection with the northern terminus of DE 9A. DE 9 northbound on West 4th Street in Wilmington past the intersection with North Market StreetFollowing this, the road becomes East 4th Street and heads north-northwest across the Christina River on a drawbridge. US 13/DE 9 curves northwest and passes under Amtrak's Northeast Corridor railroad line, at which point northbound US 13 splits from the road by turning northeast on North Church Street at the grade crossing of a railroad spur. A block later, the concurrency between DE 9 and southbound US 13 ends at the point where southbound US 13 joins the road from North Spruce Street. DE 9 continues northwest through residential and commercial areas as a four-lane undivided road, entering downtown Wilmington. Here, it intersects US 13 Bus.
Just before running through Downtown McRae, it approaches another major intersection in the form of a one- way pair with US 341/US 23/SR 27\. Immediately after the northwest-bound section of US 341/US 23, it has a grade crossing with a former Southern Railway line (now the Norfolk Southern Railway's Brunswick District). Curving to the east-northeast starting at Bowen Street through the intersections of Centre Avenue and Spaulding Drive before crossing a bridge over the Little Ocmulgee River, as well as the Telfair–Wheeler County line, US 319/US 441/SR 31 leaves US 280 onto the McRae–Dublin Highway just to cross a bridge over a former Seaboard Air Line Railroad line. North of that bridge it runs between the Telfair-Wheeler Airport, and across from that, the Wallace Adams Memorial Golf Course and Little Ocmulgee State Park and Lodge.
When the Latham–Malta segment was opened, it featured one of the few railroad grade crossings on an Interstate Highway, just south of the Thaddeus Kosciusko Bridge over the Hudson. This at-grade crossing was removed within a couple of years when the railroad line was cut backwards and the crossing was no longer needed. Construction on the portion of highway between the two segments began . The part between NY 9P and NY 50 near Saratoga Springs was finished on July 19, 1963, and the entire NY 67–US 9 segment was completed by 1964. An extension linking NY 149 to NY 9N south of Lake George village opened in mid-1963. By July 1963, the Northway was completed from the Canadian border south to exit 34 at Keeseville. Additionally, the existing Albany–Lake George section was extended slightly by May 1966 to serve the northern part of Lake George.
The High Five Interchange in Dallas, Texas, a stack interchange with elevated entrance and exit ramps connecting Interstate 635 and U.S. Route 75 An interchange or a junction is a highway layout that permits traffic from one controlled-access highway to access another and vice versa, whereas an access point is a highway layout where traffic from a distributor or local road can join a controlled-access highway. Some countries, such as the United Kingdom, do not distinguish between the two, but others make a distinction; for example, Germany uses the word Kreuz ("cross") for the former and Ausfahrt ("exit") for the latter. In all cases one road crosses the other via a bridge or a tunnel, as opposed to an at-grade crossing. The inter-connecting roads, or slip-roads, which link the two roads, can follow any one of a number of patterns.
From its southern terminus at the intersection of US 98 in downtown Fort Walton Beach to Shalimar, Florida, SR 85 is a six-lane highway with turn medians, accessing local beaches and Eglin Air Force Base. The road, known as Eglin Parkway, runs north through Fort Walton Beach, and the town of Cinco Bayou before crossing the namesake Cinco Bayou Bridge, and then through the Ocean City area of Fort Walton Beach. It crosses Garniers Bayou into Shalimar, and thence north onto the Eglin reservation where it becomes a four-lane route with grass median. It then skirts the northwest side of Eglin Air Force Base Main Base, with a grade separated interchange for State Road 123 and Northwest Florida Regional Airport, continuing as a four-lane divided highway with a speed limit. A former railroad grade crossing just south of the commercial terminal was removed when the south end of the Eglin Base Railroad was abandoned in the 1980s.
Past this junction, MD 346 runs closely parallel to the southwest of the route until the intersection with Caleb Road (MD 992F), where MD 346 curves to the south-southeast toward Berlin. US 50 runs through a mix of farmland and woodland as it passes to the north of Berlin. The road comes to an intersection with MD 818, which provides access to Berlin. A short distance later, US 50 comes to a grade crossing with the Maryland and Delaware Railroad's Snow Hill Line as it reaches a cloverleaf interchange with US 113, with the ramps from eastbound US 50 to southbound US 113 and from southbound US 113 to westbound US 50 also crossing the railroad tracks at-grade. Following the US 113 interchange, US 50 runs through woods before it heads between farmland to the north and businesses to the south as it intersects the eastern terminus of MD 346.
The City of San Mateo applied for Measure A funds to help fund a grade separation project in 2013; the majority of the $180 million project is funded from Measure A ($74 M) and Proposition 1A ($84 million, California High Speed Rail). The proposed 25th Avenue Grade Separation Project will elevate tracks in southern San Mateo, eliminating the at-grade crossing at 25th Avenue and adding grade-separated crossings at 28th and 31st Avenues, which are currently interrupted by Peninsula Corridor tracks. Tracks will rise at the maximum allowable grade, starting from where they emerge south of the State Route 92 overcrossing, to minimize the depression of 25th Avenue to maintain vertical clearance for road vehicles under the new rail bridge. The grade separation is also designed to accommodate a potential mid-line overtake required for Caltrain/HSR blended operations, which would expand the Peninsula Corridor right-of-way to up to four tracks.
View north along SR 121 at I-77/I-81/US 11 and US 52 in Fort Chiswell SR 121 begins at a diamond interchange with I-77, I-81, and US 11 a short distance west of the interchange where I-77 turns south toward Charlotte and I-81 and US 11 continue east toward Roanoke. US 52 runs concurrently with the three other highways west to Wytheville and heads south from the interchange as Fort Chiswell Road toward Hillsville. SR 121 starts as a four- lane divided highway within the interchange but immediately reduces to two lanes to head north to Max Meadows. The state highway crosses Reed Creek before entering the village, where it reaches its northern terminus at its intersection with SR 1004 (Ayers Street) and SR 1006 (Max Meadows Road) immediately to the north of its grade crossing of Norfolk Southern Railway's Pulaski District rail line and one block south of SR 610 (Peppers Ferry Road).
Avdonin, a geologist by trade in the Soviet years, was also personally interested in local history and folklore, which in Sverdlovsk had to include the execution of the Romanovs. Indeed, the Ipatiev House, at 49 Voznesensky Prospekt—the leafy end of the town’s main street—where the family was imprisoned and executed, was called at the time the House of Special Purpose and maintained for some years afterward as the Museum of the Peoples’ Vengeance. Avdonin gathered information informally for years, and, in 1976, met Soviet writer and filmmaker , who was given information by the son of one of the killers that led them to identify a precise location and to begin informal exhumations. According to the “Yurovsky Note” a primary historical document authored by the commandant of the Ipatiev House and chief executioner Yakov Yurovsky, the bodies (nine of the eleven) were buried at the place where the truck broke down on the second night following the execution, near Grade Crossing 184 on the Koptyaki Road.
US 17-US 92-US 441 (Orange Blossom Trail) serves as the western end of the U.S. Route 17/92 (SR 500/SR 600) concurrency. Here, US 17-92 (and SR 600) end their concurrency with US 441, and join SR 50, while US 441 and the Orange Blossom Trail move further northwest in Florida and beyond. A railroad line runs along the right side of this intersection, and the first feature along the US 17/92-SR 50 multiplex is a grade crossing. US 17/92 with SR 50 (and SR 600), meets the south end of Edgewater Drive and passes by Lake Dot Park and then Don Dudley Park before it crosses Interstate 4 (SR 400; Exits 83B & 84) then crosses the SunRail tracks (former CSX A-Line) and State Road 527 (Orange Avenue southbound and Magnolia Avenue northbound) before meeting State Road 15(Mills Avenue), where US 17/92 turns north thereby marking the eastern end of US 17/92(SR 600) concurrency.
Southeast of that intersection, it also crosses a former railroad mining spur leading to the CSX Brooksville Subdivision. Just east of a pair of truck weigh stations is the northern terminus of County Road 485, which serves as the beginning of US Truck Route 98. After moving over some steep hills and passing a branch of the Pasco- Hernando Community College as well as a Florida State Trooper police station, US 98 briefly becomes a four-lane divided highway again at Yontz Boulevard, only to resume its status as a two-lane road as it enters the City of Brooksville. There, the road passes by some local industry, including the garage for Hernando ParaTransit and the county bus system, and then faces an un-gated at-grade crossing with the CSX Brooksville Subdivision. Just before the intersection of West Jefferson Avenue (SR 50A), US 98 has a divide that cuts off the intersection of Fort Dade Avenue (County Road 484).
US 701 and US 501 head north on Church Street, a four-lane road with center turn lane, to 16th Avenue, a four-lane street onto which US 701 turns east and runs concurrently with US 501 Business. The concurrency ends at Main Street, where the business route turns south onto Main Street toward downtown and US 701 turns north onto the street, which expands from two to four lanes north of the intersection, to head out of the city. The U.S. Highway parallels the Waccamaw Coast Line Railroad north through the village of Homewood, where the highway meets the eastern end of SC 319 and reduces to two lanes, then gradually splits away from the railroad on its way to a partial cloverleaf interchange with SC 22 (Veterans Highway). At its intersection with SC 410 (Green Sea Road), US 701 veers northeast, has an oblique grade crossing of the railroad, and parallels the rail line to the city of Loris.
Original station in 1906, just months before it was replaced with the modern station buildings Early postcard of the northbound building A Conrail freight passes the then- closed station buildings in 1983 The original Boston and Providence Railroad station, a complex Victorian Gothic building, was located north of Mill Street at a grade crossing. Service began in June 1835 from Boston to Providence. Two branches opened from Attleboro: The Attleboro Branch Railroad (run by the B&P;) opened in January 1870, followed by the New Bedford and Taunton Railroad's Attleboro Branch (to Taunton) in August 1871. The Boston & Providence was taken over by the Old Colony Railroad in 1888, which itself was absorbed by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad in 1893. The lease of the Attleboro Branch Railroad expired in 1901; the New Haven built a different connector to the Walpole and Wrentham Railroad and the branch was returned to its owners.
To the chairman, the strongest evidence for his theory was the way she had calmly left the ML350 to inspect its rear and remove the barrier that had gotten caught on it. "Someone in a good state of mind, as this driver apparently was, who is aware that they are in close proximity to a railroad crossing, and in imminent danger of being struck by a train going 60 mph, would not act this way", Sumwalt said. He noted that in another grade crossing accident in California shortly after the Vallhalla crash, a driver had turned his pickup truck onto the tracks inadvertently out of confusion created by a nearby intersection. Sumwalt reiterated the report's call for the makers of GPS navigation hardware and software to incorporate the FRA's database of grade crossings into their products so that drivers using them had additional awareness that they were crossing active tracks when they did so.
Positive Train Control (PTC) and vehicle monitoring system technologies have been developed for the Denver Metro Area's new commuter train lines that began opening in 2016. After the University of Colorado A Line opened on April 22, 2016 between Denver Union Station and Denver International Airport, it experienced a series of issues related to having to adjust the length of unpowered gaps between different overhead power sections, direct lightning strikes, snagging wires, and crossing signals behaving unexpectedly. In response to the crossing issues, Denver Transit Partners, the contractor building and operating the A Line, stationed crossing guards at each place where the A line crosses local streets at grade, while it continues to explore software revisions and other fixes to address the underlying issues. The FRA is requiring frequent progress reports, but allowed RTD to open its B Line as originally scheduled on July 25, 2016, because the B Line only has one at- grade crossing along its current route.
US 15 originally followed Commerce Street and Canal Road, which is now used to access the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park, through an at-grade crossing of the B&O; Railroad to the Maryland end of the bridge, which crossed the river immediately to the east of the modern bridge. The 1889 iron bridge was swept away in the March 1936 flood that also destroyed the Potomac River crossings at Harpers Ferry, Shepherdstown, and Hancock. View north along US 15 at MD 28 just north of Point of Rocks Bridge In November 1936, MDSRC put together a plan to replace the Potomac River bridges at Hancock, Shepherdstown, and Point of Rocks. The Point of Rocks Bridge became the first of the three crossings to be started when construction began March 25, 1937; the bridge's concrete piers were completed and the piers of the old bridge were removed from the river by September of that year.
The Wilmington Rail Viaduct is a series of fills and bridges, about long, that carries the Northeast Corridor through the city of Wilmington, Delaware, above street level. Constructed between 1902 and 1908, the structure consists principally of fills supported by heavy stone retaining walls, punctuated with plate girder bridges over streets, and augmented by a few sections of brick arch viaduct. Its construction is typical of the Pennsylvania Railroad's architectural practices at the time, and the viaduct has been documented by the Historic American Engineering Record and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Built by the Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) as part of a series of grade crossing eliminations along the Northeast Corridor, the elevation of the rail line necessitated several other changes to rail infrastructure in Wilmington, including the construction of the Wilmington Shops at the east end of the viaduct, and the construction of the Wilmington Station and adjacent Pennsylvania Railroad Office Building along the elevated right-of-way.
The next interchange northbound is a right-in/right- out terminus of Sherman Avenue, while southbound has access to 246 here. A single onramp provides Wilbur Avenue an entrance to northbound 146 next, then a modified cloverleaf interchange with Rhode Island Route 116, followed shortly by a full cloverleaf interchange with I-295 and the southern terminus of Rhode Island Route 99, which is a short connector freeway to the city of Woonsocket Route 99 access is a northbound exit/southbound entrance only, the other directions need to use surface streets for access. North of this interchange, the road turns into a divided boulevard with at-grade crossings and driveway access through the southern part of the town of North Smithfield, Rhode Island. A stoplight marks the only major intersection, an at-grade crossing with Sayles Hill Road, which doubles back and has a right in/right out interchange with southbound 146.
The road leaves Howard County and enters Grant County and passes through an intersection with SR 13, in Point Isabel. East of Point Isabel SR 26 has an intersection with SR 37 and SR 9, before entering Fairmount. In Fairmount SR 26 is routed along Eighth Street and passes through residential part of town. Before leaving town the street has an at-grade crossing with a Norfolk Southern railroad track. East of Fairmount SR 26 has an interchange with I-69, before crossing over the Mississinewa River. After the river SR 26 turns north at a four-way intersection with County Road 900 South and County Road 950 East, formerly SR 221. SR 26 heads north for about towards the town of Upland, before turning east at a four-way intersection with SR 22 and County Road 700 South, southeast of Taylor University. The road then leaves Grant County and enters Blackford County.
Seneca Falls From NY 96A east to the village of Waterloo, a distance of roughly four miles, US 20 and NY 5 become a two-lane road and run parallel to the Cayuga–Seneca Canal. In Waterloo, the concurrency meets NY 96 in the village centre. East of the village, the distance between the canal and the roadway decreases, making US 20 and NY 5 the closest road to the water for the next one and a half miles to NY 414 in the town of Seneca Falls. NY 414 joins US 20 and NY 5, overlapping the road for into the hamlet of Seneca Falls. At Cayuga Street, NY 414 turns south, crossing the water body that is the canal and the Seneca River and becoming Ovid Street while US 20 and NY 5 turn north onto Cayuga, following the street around the small Van Cleef Lake, through the Finger Lakes Railway grade crossing, and exiting the hamlet.
This continued over grade-separated tracks along the line to Schwandorf and over an overpass over the Nuremberg–Cheb lines and the access tracks to the "eastern storage sidings". At Dutzendteich station the tracks had to be separated from the main-line tracks, even if the already planned high-speed line to Ingolstadt was built. The S-Bahn tracks were placed between the tracks of the ring railway from Nürnberg Ost and Nürnberg Mögeldorf towards the Nuremberg marshalling yard (Nürnberg Rangierbahnhof) and the Nuremberg–Regensburg line, which meant that the existing at-grade crossing of passenger traffic on the Nuremberg–Regensburg line with the freight trains from Hof, Schirnding and Furth towards Nuremberg yard had to be abandoned. As a replacement for it, a grade-separated structure was built between the stations of Nürnberg Frankenstadion and Fischbach (bei Nürnberg) to allow freight trains from the north and from Regensburg to branch off to the southwest towards the tracks of the ring railway towards the marshalling yard.
The northbound off-ramp from that interstate is included in the nearby intersection with CR 475, and immediately encounters a grade crossing with the CSX-S Line. From there it passes by a local truck stop, and briefly curves south, before heading east again through Sumterville, running between more farm fields, although some local residencies and at least two industrial buildings can be found. Approaching "downtown" Sumterville, the route turns north and overlaps US 301, where it also passes the post office, runs between the territory of the Sumter Electric Cooperative (SECO) buildings, serves as the terminus of SR 471, and then turns east across from the Shady Brook Golf & RV Resort, while US 301 heads north towards Coleman, Wildwood, Ocala, and across the Georgia state line towards northern Delaware. Shortly after the end of the overlap, the road crosses the right of way for a former Seaboard Air Line railroad line that carried the Amtrak Silver Meteor between Coleman and Auburndale until 1988, and was once proposed for the extension of the General James A. Van Fleet State Trail.
West of the intersection, a northward reverse S-curve draws NY 96 closer to the Thruway and the outlet as the route heads toward the village of Clifton Springs, which NY 96 bypasses to the north. to the west in the village of Manchester, NY 96 crosses over the outlet (which roughly follows NY 21 south to Canandaigua Lake from this point out) and indirectly connects to the Thruway by way of a junction with NY 21 located north of the village center and just south of where NY 21 meets the Thruway at exit 43\. West of NY 21, NY 96 curves gently to the south, crossing the Ontario Central Railroad before resuming its westward alignment near the grade crossing. At this point, NY 96 enters the town of Farmington and begins to parallel the Thruway once more. The route passes by Finger Lakes Gaming and Race Track, located between County Route 8 (CR 8) and NY 332, prior to intersecting NY 332 itself west of the race track.
Neither the road nor the nurses quarters have been built as of this writing. At the southern end of CR 485 and the west end of State Road 50A, SR 50 takes a sharp right turn and joins US Truck Route 98 around downtown Brooksville, but never truly leaves the city limits. Curving to the southeast near the Hernando County Sheriff's Department headquarters, the remainder of the former rural characteristics of Brooksville can still be found, until it approaches US 41 where hidden State Road 700 secretly joins the road. Climbing another hill, the road turns direct east again where it passes in front of a pair of churches before the intersection of County Road 445(Main Street) and Mitchell Road, and then an at-grade crossing with CSX's Brooksville Subdivision. After the intersection with CR 581, the road turns northeast as it approaches the intersection of Jasmine Boulevard, but more importantly US 98 and the eastern terminus of SR 50A, as well as the eastern terminus of US Truck Route 98.
Meanwhile, Grand Street actually returns to US 90 just before it reaches the west end of the concurrency with US 221 at Pitt Street. Together US 90-221 intersects an at- grade crossing with a Georgia and Florida Railway line that often stays in close proximity to US 221, and then passes by the Haffye Hays Park, a local park that contains a memorial to Ray Charles. After passing by some local industry, US 221 turns south near the historic Bishop-Andrews Hotel, but US 90 picks up a concurrency with Former State Road 150. When US 90/CR 150 encounters Evergreen Cemetery, it's a sign that Grand Avenue is about to end, and thus the railroad tracks will be in sight once again. CR 150 turns north toward northern Madison County, while US 90 continues east, winding around much of rural central Madison County. The railroad tracks start to move further and further away from US 90 again after the first intersection with Elizabeth H. Sims Road.
US 258 continues northeast as Walters Highway through the hamlet of Walters to the town of Windsor, where the highway is named Prince Boulevard, has a grade crossing of Norfolk Southern's Norfolk District rail line, and intersects US 460 (Windsor Boulevard). The U.S. Highway continues north as Courthouse Highway through the county seat of Isle of Wight to the town of Smithfield. US 258 enters the town as Main Street before joining SR 10 on the town's bypass; Main Street continues as US 258 Business. The two-lane bypass has a diamond interchange with Fairway Drive, then crosses Cypress Creek and collects the northern end of US 258 Business, which runs concurrently with SR 10 Business on Church Street. US 258 and SR 10 continue southeast on four-lane divided Benns Church Boulevard to Benns Church, where US 258 leaves SR 10 and joins SR 32 on Brewers Neck Boulevard. The U.S. Highway and state highway follow that boulevard to Carrollton, where the highways join US 17 on Carrollton Boulevard.
Beginning in Patchogue at what is today the intersection of East Main Street and NY 112, the road survives as Medford Avenue which was widened to four lanes from East Main Street to Clark Street in 1964, then to five lanes north of the vicinity of the interchange with Sunrise Highway. In North Patchogue, near Shaber Road, Route 112 moves to the northeast onto Port Jefferson-Patchogue Highway, while the original Bicycle Path goes straight north from Medford Avenue to Old Medford Avenue. Bicycle Path(now Old Medford Avenue) south of the 1907 bridge for the Main Line of the Long Island Rail Road; circa 1988. Near the Main Line of the Long Island Rail Road in Medford, Bicycle Path used to climb over a narrow wooden grade crossing. The crossing was replaced by a bridge in 1907. As Old Medford Avenue crosses under the Long Island Expressway, it leaves Medford and enters Farmingville, where it enters a residential area north of Suffolk CR 16(Horse Block Road).
In early 1967, the Florida State Turnpike Authority (FTA) announced plans for an expansion of the Turnpike System, including taking over the existing Bee Line and Bennett Causeway and forming a continuous route from the Turnpike to the Atlantic Ocean, with a spur (now SR 407) to the Orsino Causeway. Enabling legislation was signed into law in July 1967. However, inflation caused problems with that plan. In December 1968, bonds were sold for a joint project—FTA would build from McCoy Jetport west to the Turnpike (at the existing Orlando-South interchange with Orange Blossom Trail), and Orange and Brevard Counties would fund the extension from SR 520 east to the Bennett and Orsino Causeways, in addition to a four-laning on the Bennett Causeway. An interchange at SR 15 replaced an at-grade crossing c. 1971. The FTA planned to build from the Turnpike east past the Jetport to SR 15, upgrading the existing SR 528 (McCoy Road) with frontage roads from west of the Jetport to SR 15\.
Plans for a grade separation started in 1965 when the Peninsula Commute was being operated by the Southern Pacific Railroad, but were stymied by the complex geometry of Broadway, which intersects with roads immediately east (Carolan) and west (California) of the level crossing, and (further east) passes over U.S. 101 at an interchange rebuilt in 2017, and the heavy rail traffic, projected at more than 114 trains per day by 2020. Traffic through the actual grade crossing was estimated at 27,000 vehicles per day in 2015. There are an average of two accidents and 105 traffic citations issued each year resulting from traffic stopped on the tracks. Seven alternatives (including a no-build option preserving the current layout) were studied in the Broadway Grade Separation Project Study Report, which recommended Alternative A, a combination of partially elevating the rail line for and partially depressing the roadway for a length of , resulting in acceptable grades of up to 4.8 percent for road traffic and 0.75 percent for rail traffic.
The Central Railroad's successor, the Flushing, North Shore and Central Railroad, was leased to the LIRR on May 3, 1876, and in June a connection at Hempstead Crossing was built, allowing trains from Mineola to use the ex-Central's Hempstead Branch; the original LIRR Hempstead Branch was abandoned south of Hempstead Crossing. , April 2006 Edition Covert Avenue grade crossing The old Central main line through Hempstead was named the Central Branch by the LIRR, while the line from Mineola on the LIRR's Main Line south past Hempstead Crossing to Hempstead was the Hempstead Branch.Pennsylvania Railroad, Long Island Railroad map , 1941 The New York Bay Extension Railroad opened the current West Hempstead Branch in 1893,Interstate Commerce Commission, Valuation Report, Long Island Railroad resulting in a realignment of the Hempstead Branch from Hempstead Crossing south to Meadow Street to better connect to the new line.Arrt's Arrchives: Hempstead Crossing Electric service on the current route of the Hempstead Branch, from Queens Village east along the Main Line and Central Branch and south along the Hempstead Branch to Hempstead, was inaugurated on May 26, 1908.
Since the train station was located at the bottom of a sizeable hill (3½% grade), the train would need to accelerate as quickly as possible before it crossed the short trestle over Foulerton Brook and then across a second grade crossing. From there, the track continued to climb on what was called Pigpen Grade (named after the pigpen on the righthand side of the tracks) until it reached the crest of the hill, the meeting point for outgoing and incoming trains: Pigpen Siding. The next landmark on the railroad past Pigpen Siding was Horseshoe Curve, a sharp curve in the shape of a horseshoe near the adjacent treeline, which was fashioned after the Pennsylvania Railroad's Horseshoe Curve near Altoona, Pennsylvania, and which restricted trains to 8 mph (13 km/hr). After leaving Horseshoe Curve, a second, lesser-used, siding was encountered, after which the line curved to the right and the Long Fill (about a five-foot (1.7 m) fill) where the best speed on the railroad could be made.
US 13 northbound in Marcus HookUS 13 enters Pennsylvania from Delaware in the borough of Marcus Hook in Delaware County, heading northeast on four-lane undivided Post Road. From the state line, the route has a grade crossing with a railroad spur and passes through Sunoco's Marcus Hook Industrial Complex. The road narrows to two lanes and crosses a railroad spur at-grade serving the industrial complex before it heads into the commercial center of Marcus Hook as 10th Street, intersecting the southern terminus of PA 452. US 13 crosses Conrail Shared Assets Operations' Linwood Track line at-grade and runs between residential areas to the north and industrial areas to the south before it crosses the Marcus Hook Creek into the borough of Trainer. The route becomes Post Road again and passes between homes and some businesses to the north and Delta Air Lines' Trainer Refinery to the south before it crosses Stoney Creek and reaches a junction with the western terminus of PA 291. The road continues through urban residential and industrial areas as it enters the city of Chester, where the road name becomes West 4th Street.
As the road enters Beverly, it faces an at-grade crossing with an Apalachicola Northern Railroad line and then curves straight north again where it enters Apalachicola National Forest. In Buck Siding that line begins to run parallel to the east side of SR 65 and continues to do so as it crosses the Franklin- Liberty County Line. No sooner does the road cross that county line than it enters an unincorporated community named Sumatra where it has an intersection with County Road 22, also known as National Forest Route 175 and then County Road 379. Just around the intersection of NF Road 180, SR 65 curves to the northeast, where from here it spends the rest of its journey through the forest running from southwestern to northeastern Liberty County. In Wilma SR 65 has a wye intersection with County Road 12, a county road that wouldn't seem so important at the time but will prove to be important later on. Emerging from the forest, SR 65 enters Telogia where it has an intersection with County Road 67 and later the northwestern terminus of County Road 67A.
At its western terminus at Illinois Route 62 (Algonquin Road), the roadway begins as a two-lane road called Lake Cook Road near a residential neighborhood and commercial area in Algonquin. Further east, the road's name changes to County Line Road at Haegers Bend Road and the road travels through largely rural and sparsely developed sections in Barrington Hills, with a significant amount of dense wooded areas and estate- style development, making for a very scenic drive. However, wildlife is also prevalent in this area, due to the presence of Spring Creek (a popular migratory route for animals in the area), which can make for hazardous nighttime driving conditions. As the road enters the town of Barrington, the road's name changes to Main Street and has an at-grade crossing at the Canadian Pacific Railroad formerly the Elgin, Joliet, and Eastern Railroad and traffic notably increases, particularly in downtown Barrington at the intersections of Illinois Route 59 (Hough Street), U.S. Route 14 (Northwest Highway), and the at-grade Union Pacific/Northwest Line, especially during weekday rush periods, when Metra trains stop frequently at the nearby station.
Several rolling roads were established in Maryland in the early 18th century for the transportation of tobacco in casks, or hogsheads, from plantations to river ports. These casks were pulled along the road by slaves and later oxen before this method of freight transportation was made obsolete by the introduction of sturdy wagons. The rolling road in western Baltimore County connecting Rockdale with Elkridge, which was likely built in 1714 by William Summers, is the only such road in Maryland whose name survived to modern times. South Rolling Road was improved as a macadam road from Washington Boulevard (later US 1) to Frederick Road (later US 40 and now MD 144) by 1921. In St. Denis, the highway that was to become MD 166 followed modern Arlington Avenue and East Street south across a grade crossing of the B&O; Railroad to its southern terminus at Washington Boulevard. MD 166 was moved to modern South Rolling Road when the highway's bridge over the railroad was built in 1931. By 1933, North Rolling Road was upgraded to an improved county highway. North Rolling Road would be expanded to a divided highway in Woodlawn around 1981.
The U.S. Highway has an oblique intersection with Granby Street, the name the highway keeps to its eastern terminus, south of the Virginia Zoological Park. US 460 becomes a four-lane road with center turn lane as it passes the zoo, then becomes divided again just before it crosses the Lafayette River. The highway intersects SR 165 (Little Creek Road) and meets I-64 (Hampton Roads Beltway) and I-564 (Admiral Taussig Boulevard), which serves Naval Station Norfolk, at the junction of the Interstates just north of the U.S. Highway's at-grade crossing of the secondary Norfolk Southern rail line. US 460 receives a ramp from I-564, eastbound US 460 has a ramp to I-564, and westbound US 460 receives a ramp from eastbound I-64. Access from US 460 to eastbound I-64 and from westbound I-64 to US 460 is made via SR 165. North of the I-64-I-564 junction, US 460 parallels I-64 along the eastern edge of Naval Station Norfolk; there are ramps from US 460 to both directions of I-64 during the parallel stretch. North of Masons Creek, US 460 veers away from I-64.
In Douglas City SRs 12/65 serves as the address for the Gadsden Correctional Facility, and then an at-grade crossing with the CSX Tallahassee Subdivision a line that carried the Amtrak Sunset Limited until it was truncated to New Orleans, Louisiana by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Right after this crossing SRs 12/65 has an intersection with U.S. Route 90, and joins that route in another concurrency. The Tallahassee Subdivision begins to move away from US 90/SRs 12/65, but almost comes back just before the intersection with CR 274 before entering Quincy where the concurrency becomes West Jefferson Street. Within the city the road encounters an at-grade railroad crossing with a spur of the Tallahassee Subdivision. This spur runs next to the beginning of the concurrency with SR 267 and CR 268 once again. The concurrency with SR 267 may have been in the process of being eliminated though, as a four-lane stub extends a block north of US 90. US 90/SRs 12/65/267/CR 268 enter the Quincy Historic District at Stewart Street. Four blocks later at Adams Street, SR 267 leave US 90 to the north, and CR 268 turns in the opposite direction.
South of Irving Park Road, US 12/US 45 travels beneath the Bensenville Bridge on I-294 (Tri-State Tollway) while also crossing over the Franklin Park rail yard; however, there is no interchange with I-294 at this point. This rail line also carries Metra Milwaukee District West trains. In Melrose Park, US 12/US 45 has a grade-separated intersection with IL 64 (North Avenue), a major east–west artery west of Chicago. About a mile (1.6 km) south, US 20 joins with US 12/US 45 to form a triple concurrency over the Union Pacific Railroad's Proviso Yard as well as the mainline tracks of the Geneva Subdivision. US 12/US 20/US 45 continues south and becomes the eastern endpoints of two state routes: IL 56 in Bellwood and IL 38 in Westchester. In between lies a full intersection with I-290 (Eisenhower Expressway). In downtown La Grange, US 12/US 20/US 45 intersects with US 34 (Ogden Avenue), making it the only location in the Chicago area (and possibly the state of Illinois) where four U.S. Routes intersect. In addition, there is a level- grade crossing with BNSF Railway tracks very near the intersection, which leads to large amounts of delays.
The new alignment also included an underpass of the Texas and New Orleans Railroad line at Keithville, replacing the grade crossing there. In 1959, the final alignment change in Shreveport had US 171 transition from Mansfield Road onto Hearne Avenue to reach its northern terminus, giving the highway its first section of four-lane pavement. Around 1965, two additional lanes were built on Mansfield Road extending south to LA 526\. This was roughly concurrent with the opening of the I-20 interchange on Hearne Avenue, connecting US 171 with the new expressway through Downtown Shreveport and improving access to the US 80 corridor east of the city. The highway was then widened southward through the Keithville area in 1967, making US 171 four lanes throughout both the city of Shreveport and Caddo Parish. The opposite end of US 171 received its first section of four-lane pavement in the early 1960s when the roadway was widened in Lake Charles between the southern terminus at US 90 (Broad Street) and Fruge Street. However, these few blocks of US 171 soon became part of LA 14\. The opening of I-10 through Downtown Lake Charles in April 1963 resulted in the re-routing of US 90 onto Fruge Street, and the southern terminus of US 171 was shifted accordingly.
