MIDDLE ROAD LEVEL CROSSING, MARCH

This is a small user-operated crossing on Middle Road, a lane that runs off the March - Turves road just before the MBM potato factory. It is only a practical photo location when the sun is not out and then is only really good looking west. Advance warning of oncoming trains is provided by colour light indicators on the gates.
