  Passing loop - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The design of crossing loops may have to be modified where there are severe gradients that make it difficult for a train to restart from a stationary position, or where the terrain is unsuitable for a normal loop.
Dombarton, New South Wales was a crossing loop built to divide a long single line section and was located on an extreme 1 in 30 (3.3%) gradient.
The "loop" was built as a miniature zig-zag with the lower switchback on one side and the upper switchback on the other side, with a dive tunnel under the through track connecting the two.

 Union Switch & Signal : Products : Crossing & Signaling
These gate mechanisms are mounted on the signals installed on the exit-side of the crossing (the side through which a motor vehicle must pass when leaving the crossing) and are designed to raise should power to the highway-crossing warning system fail.
Loop detectors are buried beneath the crossing surface for detecting motor vehicles.
Since the loop detectors' inductance varies whenever a motor vehicle passes over the crossing, the presence of a motor vehicle on the crossing will be detected.

 Circulation and Parking Plan, March 2004 - Section 5
The cross section shown in preliminary alignment options developed in a separate engineering study indicates 10-foot paved shoulders, which are adequate for bicycle travel.
Planning for the loop alignment must establish pedestrian (including walkers, skiers, runners, etc.) routes into the North Campus that may include, but are not limited to, under/overpasses and signaled crosswalks.
Tanana Loop carries high traffic volumes at this location, and pedestrians are unprotected when crossing from the parking lot to the campus.

 City of Mesa - E-Streets East Mesa Loop Project   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Construction of the E-Streets East Mesa Loop began in 2001 by taking advantage of City gas, water, sewer and road improvement projects to construct a professionally engineered carrier class conduit /vault system for both commercial and government uses.
The designed loop contains an unique conduit bank design, large operational vaults at every major street crossing, access manholes to eliminate the need to cut the street and independent test points for the utility locators to access without exposing the fiber infrastructure.
The loop is designed using ring architecture as a safeguard so that service can be quickly reinstated if accidentally disrupted by third-party digging.

 Cursive Letters: Analysis and Construction
Begin as in small letter l; after forming loop, make an oval turn, which should be three-fourths of a space from base line; ascend to a point one and one-half spaces from base line; unite angularly, and finish with lower part of capital stem.
Position of loop should be such that a straight line, drawn from its top to the centre of oval of the stem on base line, would be on main slant.
Form R with capital stem the same as B, as far as crossing loop; descend to base with a straight line, touching one space from that point touched by the turn in stem; make a turn to the right, and finish with concave curve.

At 100 feet into the cave there is a ceiling channel crossing perpendicular to the stream passage, and in 8 feet yet another.

The tube that crosses over the stream channel is small and awkward, and abandoned (I hope!) because electrical wiring makes it harder yet.

 Hines Hill train collision - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hines Hill is a crossing loop on the Perth to Sydney transcontinental main line in Australia.
On January 14, 1996, two trains entered the crossing loop simultaneously in opposing directions, although signals at the exit from the crossing loop were correctly showing red for stop.
If the loop had been longer, the safety distance from the red departure signal to the fouling point with the arriving train would have been larger and the other train would have cleared the single line section so avoiding the collision by some vital seconds.

 Railways of New Zealand: Waiau Branch   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
It was originally envisaged when the line was built that it would be the main railway line north to Picton, and indeed the current main line through Parnassus was terminated at that station in 1912 and the current route north not progressed until the 1930s.
The railway was then not seen again until Culverden where it ran alongside the highway for a few kilometres to Red Post Corner, where the line continued on north while the highway crossed over on its way west.
On one trip in about 1980 the line was overgrown with weeds and then the next time we went over it had recently been lifted through Culverden and north.

 Pakuratahi loop, Rimutaka Incline Railway
Although not a feature of the original railway, a crossing loop is proposed in the vicinity of the Pakuratahi tunnel for operational purposes.
The loop would be 6.0km from Kaitoke and 5.6km from Summit, roughly half way between the two stations (refer to the Project overview page for more information).
Minimal earthworks would be required to form the trackbed for a crossing loop at this position, with land either side of the formation at this point already having been modified during forestry operations.

 Geurie crossing loop collision - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1963 Geurie crossing loop collision occurred at night, when it was hard to see things.
The train in the crossing loop was unfortunately standing foul of main line, so that when the opposing train arrived, a collision occurred.
The train in the loop was hauled by a 265-tonne Beyer-Garrett AD60 class locomotive 6003, and the extra length from the front of the locomotive to the driver's position contributed to the misjudgment of standing clear of the mainline.
