Although I am happy and grateful the people at Arthur put a railroad crossing in the episode "The Rhythm and Roots of Arthur," I hope they put a railroad crossing in at least one of the future Arthur episodes and one that's a little more realistic than this

I know I'm sounding ungrateful but I really wish they made the crossing outside of D.W.'s "I'm Board" music video, they made it way too cartoony and unrealistic. That and I don't like that there weren't lights on the pole of the signal although I am happy they made a crossing signal with overhead lights (they're called cantilever signals, sometimes they're called gantries.)

I want to see a crossing that looks at least like this one



Or this one to give another example

A couple more examples



Our old buddies Demetre and Carl, Demetre being a bigger train-fan, at a railroad crossing I was hoping to see on Arthur and hope to see in a future episode. And I have a train showing.



A crossing also with lights (on the pole under the crossbuck sign) and a red and white gate with passenger train passing through. Supposed to be in Elwood City.

I mean they're probably not going to do another railroad crossing and I should be thankful and count myself fortunate (I don't believe in the luck so I won't use "lucky") that they even included one in The Rhythm and Roots of Arthur, but still, I hope while there are still Arthur episodes left to show they'll make one that looks like the ones in my drawings. Or this even although I really don't expect them to



I would like for them to put a cantilever signal in and one with lights on both the overhead part and on the pole under the crossbuck but I would at least like a mast signal as shown in the previous four pictures.

Of course I cannot expect them to put crossing gate-arm lights though I'd really really like for them to but I'll settle for a crossing with lightless gates like they did in Rhythm and Roots of Arthur as sure long as they at least put lights on the pole underneath the crossbuck.

But whatever happens happens, Arthur's not my cartoon. If they don't put another railroad crossing in Arthur and one that's more realistic than what I saw in TR&ROA, so be it.

Sorry about my rant and vent but I wanted someone to talk to about this and you seemed to be the one I could approach with this. I'll try not to talk to you too much about this though in the future since I know this is not your thing or virtually anyone else's, just me. Thanks for putting up with me.
