I don't think you can ask to stop a train, that would cause a lot of trouble for the railway company. A sensible solution would be to inform the procession that if it cannot pass the crossing in one part, the parade should split up, the group in front should stop and wait until the group behind...

This is a good example of a parade through a busy railway crossing, where have at least 4 or 5 pairs of stoppers per hour, and least 2 pairs of non-stop expresses. The leaders must be able to handle situations where the group will be split up, and police officers on duty at crossings to ensure...

It seems the broken point is on a gentle curve, which meaning the frog is a non-standard component. That is why non-standard track components are removed as much as possible from railway networks in various countries.

For the past year I have been looking for heritage rail systems in the UK that offers a forward view through cab partitions. Now l have a incomplete list and l haven't visited any of small heritage lines such as Isle of Wight Steam Railway. I wonder if I missed other heritage railcar trip on...

For Japan's experience - that need localities to pay (most of) funding for rebuild/maintain such branch railway operations, no money - no railways. Localities will own the lines and have the option of A. operating their own trains. B. Give operating to large railway companies. If the opening of...

Yes, and with physical token.

There are obvious example in Isle of Man, full electric fleets on Manx Electric Railway but still attracted a large number of tourists.

From Google Maps and Railway Track Digrams Southern & TfL I noticed that both cruise terminals in Southampton - P&O Terminal and QEII Terminal have rail connections but l never hear any boat trains serviced to them in recent years. When were they last used (I can found the last boat train video...
