The Rt 11 and CSX crossing in the Boro of Darby,is not the only Streetcar crossing in the USA. Actually, there are three other active streetcar/railroad crossings in the U.S.:

San Francisico's MUNI's Third Street T line has two active Railroad crossings in an industrial district in Bayville.

Last month, while riding an inbound T Breda LRV,the car I was on and an outbound car were both delayed for about five min., as a slow-moving UP freight was crossing third Street.

This RR crossing is located just south of the Islais Creek Channel Bridge, which the T line crosses on an unusual Bridge.

The other RR crossing is about a half a mile south on Third St. Sorry, I can't remember the exact location.

Tampa FL's TECO Historic Streetcar also has an active RR crossing with CSX, which AMTRAK also uses. This may be the only active Steetcar/RR Passenger crossing in the country.
