The other diamond crossings at NGP in the process of replacement. The machine in the picture actually lifted the entire pannel, consisting of two crossings, and moved it to the correct spot from where it was assembled. Take a close look at the crossing itself. One of the lines (middle-left to bottom-right) is a continuous line. The bisecting line from bottom-left to middle-right is fashioned in such a way that the wheels of a train taking the latter path will actually ride over the former. Photo scanned from the local daily, the Hitavada.

Why aren't the two rails at the same level? Would the wheels travelling on the higher rails experience a thud when going over the lower rails? Having both rails at the same level would also potentially eliminate the panto-lowering and re-raising exercise.

Is this a newspaper clipping?
