	Level crossing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term level crossing (also called a railroad crossing, railway crossing, train 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 another railroad.
		Early level crossings had a flagman in a nearby booth who would, on the approach of a train, wave a red flag or lantern to stop all traffic and clear the tracks.
		All crossings in the United States are required to be marked by at least a crossbuck; most crossings that intersect rural roads have this setup.
