This one here on the Taieri Gorge tourist line near Dunedin doesn't look like it will be replaced any time soon (taken last year).[ATTACH] Gisborne Airport may be the only runway/railway level crossing left but I remember leaving Peshawar to go...

I remember Fred Youell from My Chappel and Wakes Colne days, I'm rather glad that he saved the N7. I'd be worried about the traffic holding the railway up.
