It was another one in Havana, Cuba, where the railroad crossed the runway of Jose Marti International Airport. Trains stopped at the signal of a plane was coming ,so first the plane...,but some passengers from the trains had a bad behavior when the trains were crossing the runway, they threw bottles, cans and many other things out of the window against the runway., thus, after trains crossed the runway, it was needed a brigade for doing the cleaning. This made the authorities made a detour of the railroad out of the runway.
I like how the air traffic control has a block of wood with a picture of a train on it to signal that the train is blocking the runway. Shame there are no passenger trains going this way.
The Botany Branch used to cross a runway at Sydney Airport, which was the site of a collision between an empty coal train returning from Bunnerong Power Station and a DC-3 that had taxied to the wrong runway for takeoff. Since then, QANTAS took over that part of the airport as its jet base and the railway was deviated around the northern perimeter of the airport.
There was a runway crossing a railway at Brize Norton, Oxfordshire, England, however the railway closed in about 1961; even when working its trains hardly constituted much of a disruption to the USAF airfield! I believe the airfield continues to this day, although very little remains of the railway now.
Has the concept of "tunneling" ever made it to the discussion table on this matter? But that is a pretty cool railway and airport,...would make a nice diorama.
@ash3rr The airport runway was extended by the Americans during the Second World War, the reason why the rails now cross it. Before the extension, it was well clear of the runway.
@JimTLonW6 According to my knowledge there are four airports with Railway crossing. 1-Peshawar International Airport, Pakistan 2-Burnie Airport, Wynyard, Tasmania 3-Manakara Airport, Madagascar 4-Gisborne Airport, New Zealand

There have been no trains full stop for almost a decade after a massive washout that the government refuses to repair.

You have to wonder about the sanity of the person who thought that building a railway track through a Airport runway, was somehow OK.
:/
That certainly is unique - ON THE runway! The nearest that I have seen is in Sydney, where a motorway goes straight under the airport's runways!!!
Thanks for your help

Probably not. It is not a busy railway, or a major airport.

NZ RAILSCENE Volume 43 (June 2005)
andddd now theres been a washout that KiwiRail hasn't been bothered to fix for a decade.
They say its not economic to repair it at this point in time.
@@LeaveTheMark_YT It would greatly benefit many farmers as many used the rail line for exports back when it was active.
Was this used on "off the rail" with Marcus Lush?
What's the gauge ? (Btw, nice wideo, loco sounds like a GE U-series?)
1067mm 3ft 6in
The hood old days
@luke96241 I do because its kinda irritating when someone who is hired to do a job isnt able to pronounce the place names correctly. And yeah
@rubber5chicken88 He pronounces them like an average New Zealander. This isn't the network news! I don't think he is paid to do this.
@rubber5chicken88 Who cares?
