What is a railroad crossing controlled by flashing lights and or crossing gates?
Active crossing. A highway-railroad grade crossing that has flashing lights with or without crossing gates is called an "active railroad crossing". This is because it is activated automatically by the approach of a train, and shut off as the train passes. In the US, there are crossings that may use flashing lights that are not activated automatically, but nearly all were retired in the US by 1990. The watchman controlled flashing light grade crossing in southern New Jersey made headlines when it was retired in 1990, as the last of its kind in the country.

How did railroad time work in the 1860's?
US railroad time was by individual railroads and typically very different from location to location, and railroad to railroad. This caused many collisions - and arguments over right-of-way were common (they typically ran by a timetable schedule based on time). This resulted in the railroads adopting "Standard Time" in 1883 so that all railroads could use the same time. Railroads had master clocks that received a telegraph signal to synchronize the proper time. This Standard Time that was developed is what is in use today in the US, although the methods for synchronizing clocks had much upgraded technology.
