Grade Crossing: Market Street | ||||||
The Market Street grade crossing in Kenilworth was an interesting one. The RVRR's tracks cut straight through a four way intersection of Market Street and Fairfield Avenue. This intersection, now protected by traffic signals had no such protection in the time of the RVRR, and was much less busy than it is today. Like many of the other RVRR grade crossings, this crossing had no signals or gates. A lone flagman would protect this crossing as the train made its way towards Aldene, or back towards Kenilworth. Today, the tracks still remain in place through the middle of this busy intersection, which is adorned by "Tracks Out of Service" signs rather than the RVRR's signature hand-painted, wooden, crossbucks.
