Unusual pedestrian walk way crossing gate. Elmwood Park Illinois. September 2007.

Pedestrian walk way crossing gate. Elmwood Park Illinois. September 2007.

Safety is a very serious issue, concern, and liability where sidewalks, paths and streets cross the railroad tracks on busy mainline railroad lines.

This unique crossing gate with a bell, guards a pedestrian walking path north of Grand Avenue, in near northwest suburban Elmwood Park Illinois. This gate is found on the Canadian Pacific ex Milwaukee Road mainline.
