Let's stick with grade crossings. They're popular!

 

Sure thing! Here's a railfan's view of DomCol Railways 1521, an EMD SD35, switching one Beacon, NY as they cross a grade crossing.

 Let's keep those grade crossings coming!

This one is from the BRVRR archives, 2004 or 5 maybe: An accident on Route 32. Not much apparent damage.

Show me a railroad crossing, please.

I gather by the time the holes were cut in the gondolas side, the cement containers were permanent fixtures.

Just a quick note: Gondola's in cement service like the one pictured, had stencil's all over them "demanding" that unloader's NOT cut hole's in the car.

We now return you to your regularly schedualed programme .... As The Rail Rust's ...

Rust...... It's a good thing !
