What is the shape of railroad crossing signs?
A large X, referred to as a crossbuck.
On the crossbuck or gate at the railroad crossing there is a sign telling you how many tracks are at that crossing?
Crossbuck signsSo called "crossbuck" signs have the words "RAILROAD" and "CROSSING" in black and white assembled in a large "X" configuration.If there is more than one set of tracks this sign will also tell how many tracks there are on a separate sign below the crossbuck.As you approach, look and listen for an approaching train. The crossbuck sign means the same as a yield sign, which means that if a train is approaching you must yield and let the train pass. A recently enacted state law will require that a YIELD sign be placed below the crossbuck sign at crossings that do not have stop signs or red flashing light signals. This is being done to further emphasize that a crossbuck sign means that you must yield to trains

On the cross buck or gate at the railroad crossing there is a sign telling you how many tracks are at that crossing?
Yes, the sign on the crossbuck or gate at a railroad crossing indicates the number of tracks present at that location. This information is crucial for drivers and pedestrians, as it alerts them to the potential for multiple trains approaching from either direction. Knowing the number of tracks helps ensure safety by emphasizing the need to remain vigilant while crossing. Always heed these signs and wait for any trains to pass before crossing the tracks.
How does a railroad crossing know when to activate?
Most highway-railroad grade crossings are activated by what is called a track circuit that senses the train as it approaches the crossing and then also knows when the train has moved clear of the crossing and shuts off the signals.
If you are stopped at a crossing where there is more than one set of tracks before you start across?
CROSSBUCK SIGN Crossbuck signs are found at highway-rail intersections. They are yield signs. You are legally required to yield the right-of-way to trains. Slow down, look and listen for a train, and stop if a train approaches. Railroad crossbuck signs are found at most crossings. If there is more than one track, the sign below the crossbuck will show the number of tracks at the crossing FLASHING RED LIGHT SIGNALS At many highway-rail crossings, the crossbuck sign has flashing red lights and bells. When the lights begin to flash, stop! A train is approaching. DO NOT STOP ON THE TRACKS OR WITHIN 15 FEET OF THE CROSSING. If there is more than one track, make sure all tracks are clear before crossing. Do not move forward until you can do so safely. In heavy traffic make sure there is room for your vehicle on the other side before starting to cross. GATES Many crossings have gates with flashing red lights and bells. Stop when the lights begin to flash and before the gate lowers across your road lane. If the gates are down, the road is closed. It is against the law to drive around or under a crossing gate, either down or being opened or closed. Do not move forward until the gates are raised and the lights stop flashing as there may be a train approaching on an adjacent track.
