Here are the Gap Road and Bishop Road crossings, located in Strasburg Township, PA along the Strasburg Railroad. These are two separate crossings, but since they are right next to each other, I figured it would make sense to simply cover both at the same time. Both crossings are very simple, with Gap Road being protected by nothing more than two crossbucks. One is mounted on a wooden post, while the other is attached to a metal pole. This one also has a sign for the Strasburg Railroad on the back of it, as well as a licence plate displaying the crossing's DOT number.
The Bishop Road crossing is even simpler, as it is protected by a single crossbuck mounted on a metal pole. However, this crossbuck does stand out as it features button copy on its lettering. This crossing has two tracks, each of which lead into the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania's yard. Due to being at the western end of the Strasburg Railroad's trackage, trains very rarely move over either of these crossings.
It should also be noted that a blue crossing ID sign can be found at the driveway into the East Strasburg. This sign seems to indicate that the driveway entrance is counted as its own crossing, known simply as the East Strasburg crossing. However, there is no crossing ID listed on this sign. If this is to be considered its own crossing, then it has no form of protection at all. Finally, each of the two advance warning signs is accompanied by a sign warning bikers to dismount before crossing, likely due to the very sharp angle of the crossing.
