| | Level crossing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Where third rail systems have level crossings, there is a gap in the third rail over the level crossing, but the power supply is not interrupted since trains have current collectors in the front and rear cars; however, care must be taken that a current or voltage gap is not created between the two ends. |
 | | The term level crossing (also called a railroad crossing, railway crossing, or grade crossing) is a crossing on one level ("at-grade intersection")— without recourse to a bridge or tunnel— of a railway line by a road, path, or other railroad. |
 | | Level crossings in China, Thailand, and Malaysia are still largely manually-operated, where the barriers are lowered using a manual switch when trains approach. |
