railway crossings
Where trains cross
Railway crossings are places where a road or path intersects railroad tracks at the same level.
Also called level crossings or grade crossings, they typically feature warning signs, flashing lights, or gates that lower when trains approach: We waited at the railway crossing as the freight train passed.
