You have never had to 'odd man out' with a civilian where 'Here' actually is. 

That's a good follow to what Jeff said about reporting obstructed crossings.

A fair amount of the discussion about crossing problems have been about reporting malfunctioning crossing signals and gates, so that's what prompted comments about malfunctioning signs...

The carriers also get reports of incidents that aren't at crossings.  There are also crossings where multiple carriers are operating parallel to each other and crossings where two separate subdivisions on two different Divisions of the same carrier operate parallel to each other.

I might add that all calls to the CSX number listed on the blue signs contact the CSX Police Safety Control Center (PSCC) and not to Chief Dispatchers desks.  Having worked with both ways of doing business - the PSCC does most of the locating where HERE is, however, there are still individuals that know the Chief Dispatcher's number in their area and call that direct.

Never too old to have a happy childhood!
