Default A Different Kind of Taxiway

The old National airport in Wash. D.C. in the 1930's also had a road
crossing the field. How about the taxiway at San Diego from the Coast Guard
hanger across a busy street to the field. Both places had railroad type
crossing gates.

IIRC: there was an airfield in Ireland that had a railroad track crossing
it. the tower and the railroad had an agreement, as to had the right of
way..

The Beech factory airport (BEC) in Wichita used to have a railroad track
across the runway at about midfield. I understand it's gone now. I
never saw a train there, but I wasn't there all that often, and I'm
pretty sure it was used from time to time.

The crossing was rough enough that we worried about landing gear damage.

RAF Ballykelly 210 Squadron c1962. Often required to 'extend downwing -
train crossing'.

Similar set up has been installed at Essendon Airport recently. Only instead
of rail type boomgates there are full size gates.

Try the runway/roadway set up at Gibraltar.
