Where have all the RR xings gone?

There are five major railroad routes that trains use to go in and out of the Washington D.C. Metropolitan Area, and you have single tracks that spur from these major routes. You can stand at one of these routes, and you can watch as the trains roll on by.

The one thing you see very little of anymore is the railroad crossing. As you approach the crossing, you watched as the lights began to flash, and the gates came down. You heard the train horn as it approached the crossing. The train goes by, and you count the train cars as they went by. You finally saw the caboose. Yes, the caboose. Something you do not see anymore. The gates go up, and you go on your merry way.

Today, in the D.C. Area, due to the regions excessive traffic, railroad crossing are a thing of the past as many of them have been replaced with bridges, but they are still around. There are no railroad crossings in the District. Clifton has the only railroad crossing in Fairfax County, but you have a series of crossings in Manassas and Prince William County. In Prince Georges County, you have the ones in Riverdale, on Sunnyside Avenue in Beltsville, and along the line that extends from Bowie into Southern Maryland. "The key to budget travel is to plan ahead. When it happens to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved vacations and/or going to see new locations we have never been before, the actuality of cost and budgeting is always in the back of our heads. Planning and spending our travel budget properly is a consideration for most families. Curbing expending and expenses, while still taking pleasure in your vacation to its fullest, is the key to assured success and fiscal obligation. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The reasoning behind economizing money while touring is simple: Even if your personal budget is highly limited, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or departing the homestead! Also recalling that while traveling, regardless of whether on a funds or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a big vacation or travel expenses!..". In Montgomery County, you have the crossings at Randolph Road and in Gaithersburg.
