QUOTE: Originally posted by sammythebull One of the worst crossings in KS was 13th st at the SF trks in Wichita. For many many yrs several deadly accidents took place at what was titled the most dangerous crossing in KS. The city had asked the rr about installing gates at the crossing in 1916. Gates were finally installed in 1970. The only known accident in the 35 yrs since was a minor bump up when a switching movement backed into a car driving around the gates. At the current time the 13th st crossing plus thre others in Wichita are to be replaced with overpasses which is a project expected to take about three yrs.
