Or maybe it's like a car where it depends on the damage? I would vote repair seeing how heavily they are built, but I don't know much about the subject

You know, I think I like this thread. I have never thought twice that a gate could simply be not working. I live in Bethel, CT and the downtown area has tracks going right through it. I pretty much ignored them (unless they were operating) until I read all this stuff about why people get hit by trains. Here is a map of the crossing. Street View Notice it is in the middle of a bend. You can't really see much down the tracks in either direction. Luckily the presence of a station a little down the line means the trains aren't moving all that fast. (~30-40mph) Thanks LI, even though this sounds a bit of an exaggeration, you may have saved a life.

nm posted:I want to post a picture of the railroad crossing across a (controlled access) freeway (Beltline) in Madison, WI. Try stopping for that and not causing a 50 car pile up. Hmm, I don't see anything on Google Maps where a railroad and the Beltline intersect. Though there are three railway underpasses. But looking around I found a few retarded crossings in the area: John Nolen Dr. John Nolen Dr. (again) South Broom St
