THF286546 / Railroad Crossing, Detroit, Toledo & Ironton Railroad, March 1926
01
Artifact Overview
Depending on traffic -- either on the track or on the road -- a railroad crossing might be protected by something as elaborate as a set of moving gates or as simple as a bell. The bell in this photo, seen atop the pole at far right, rang to warn pedestrians and motorists when a train approached the crossing.
