Rail grade crossing

A grade crossing using old rail as the base for the roadway. Based on a photo of a crossing at Washoe City.  This is an actual crossing object; if you connect the road splines to it, it will stop traffic when a train is coming.

Version: TS2009

 

Wood crossing boards

A 20' wood standard gauge crossing. Non-interactive (does not stop traffic or connect to road splines). Will snap to track for proper placement. This object will match the gradient of the track to which it is attached.
