AUSTRALIAN METHOD OF PREVENTING CROSSING ACCIDENTS.—These striped post or rails, placed on each side of a railway crossing at Home Bush, New South Wales, are used to control road traffic when a train is passing. They are shown raised to allow passage across the railway line, but should a train approach they are lowered to the striped centre posts, holding up road traffic and giving the train safe crossing. The raising and lowering of the rails is electrically controlled by the approach of the train.
