UP DS 54 just reported POSSIBLE POWER LINES BLOCKING the
mainline (Across the tracks) between PALMDALE and DENNIS MP 412 area.
UP DS 54 has sent a maintaner out to CHECK on this report.

I do HOPE that Amtrak Train 14 is able to PASS
the Palmdale area and proceed to Tehachapi for the Detour.

I don't have a completely clear understanding of the definition of a crossing.

So what is the difference between grade and non-grade crossings? How many type of crossings are there? What defines them?

Thanks!]]>
