   There are dozens of such crossings on the LIRR and Metro-North.  Also,   
   as mentioned, CTA in Chicago.   
      
   There was a crossing on PATH just west of Journal Square until the early   
   70's, and I think the last crossings on the Canarsie Line were closed in   
   the late 60's or early 70's.
