Lakes Park Example
The Lakes Park Railroad Museum railroad uses a novel method for constructing grade crossings.

AVWRR Example
The Annetta Valley & Western Railroad uses wood for their grade crossings, as described by club member Tom Stamey:


 * For repair of crossings we need 1X2 inch lumber in 8 foot lengths. It takes 5 pieces to protect the two rails if they do not get heavy loads pulling over them. If trucks and cars go over them they need to be protected by two boards each outside the two rails plus the 3 pieces inside the rail. Extra long ties are needed about every foot so the additional boards on the outside can be screwed down with wood screws. All protection of the crossing must be screwed down.
