Eastern Railroad Discussion > Where else is there something like THIS?Date: 05/06/03 20:16 Where else is there something like THIS? Author: Ster2block A crosswalk right next to a diamond?
The CSX CL&W Sub (the single main) and the CSX Greenwich Sub (the double main) cross at grade here in Grafton, Ohio on St. Rt. 57. Is there anywhere else where the RR actually has special crossbucks for the crosswalk, as it winds across near the diamond? By the way, my scanner cut this sky part of my shot for some reason, but you\'re not missing anything but the sky. Thanks in advance! Tony :) Ster2Block  Date: 05/06/03 20:43 Re: Where else is there something like THIS? Author: kevin157 Hmmm, I have seen many crossing gates for sidewalks, but nothing quite like this! Really weird! Thanks for sharing.

Author: chatanuga Here in Ohio, I\'ve seen a couple crossings where in addition to the crossbucks, there\'s also an advanced warning sign next to them with flashing yellow lights in the top and bottom quarter sections of the sign. The lights are always flashing whether a train\'s approaching or not.

To remedy this, I would put a dark background under the picture so the scanner thinks that\'s part of what needs to be scanned. Naturally you then have to crop out the rest of it.

You can see it to the right of the diamond along with a crossbuck sign for pedestrians.

Thier were crossing gates for the side walk in North Olmstead. Of course some people didn\'t take much notice of them.
