I have been waiting to post this since I wanted to see them in action, but it has been a couple weeks now and I haven't been stopped by a train yet.  A few months ago, someone was killed at the railroad crossing near our house.  I suspect that because of this they installed new railroad lights and gates.  It was previously just the white "X" sign and a stop sign that nobody ever stopped for.  Since the gates and lights went up, they pulled up the stop sign, so it will probably be a couple more months before I remember to not stop there.
