Despite not being used all that often, it's always seemed odd to me that an active rail line would cross a major street without proper signalling.
In Europe there are almost no track crossings without rail guards. Yet, in this country where according to the rail association "we can't have tracks without six-foot fence around them" we still have numerous level crossings with just some lights as warning.
