I have an idea which I think would solve the problem and I don't think it's been suggested. Why not have gates which open out over the road, perhaps painted white with some red warning signs, with someone in a box at the side of the track to operate them? He/she could also operate signals to control the trains?? Seems simple enough ;-)
Very amusing! As we used to say in the good old days: "if it aint broken dont try to fix it!!"
Cheers
