Interesting, Landover still had a grade level crossing in the early 50's with a watchman according to my dad. One of the last on that line.

Great pair of shots, thanks for sharing.  These trains are westbound by timetable, en route to Washington DC.  I'm not sure when the grade crossing at Landover went away, it was definitely gone when when the U.S. Route 50 freeway was built along the north side of tracks, which was late 1950's or early 1960's.  Other grade crossings at Seabrook, Glenn Dale and Jericho Park would last much longer.
