Howdy TrainNut. There is one grade crossing and that is at carney's crossing. Just right up from lilly. It is between lilly and cresson. That is the only one I know of in this area. Even though the trains are going up grade a few of them do have some speed to them. The east bound mail trains sure have speed though. You can hear the horns and the bells from my place. They usually hit the horns near my apartment. You can feel the rumble of the locomotives when they go by.
That picture I took is looking north but the train is heading east bound towards Altoona.
