RICHMOND, Va. -- Richmond is known around the world for its triple-decker railroad crossing. It's totally unique, a treasured transportation oddity in Shockoe Bottom that is more than 100 years old.

Rail fans hunger to witness three trains crossing together here. It's been more than 20 years since the last time, and it's only happened a few times. "It's pretty amazing," says Jeff Majer, a history buff and blogger who has given tours of the area. "It's not the only one ever, but it's the only one that still exists.

"From my experience in doing a lot of tours," he added, "there's a lot of people that are kind of waiting for that" to happen again.
The problem, of course, is logistics, explained George Saunders with the Richmond Railway Museum. These are working tracks, particularly the top two. The last triple crossing "had a co-operation between CSX, which run the first two (upper) tracks and the Norfolk Southern has the third track on the bottom," Saunders said. "And they had a photo op… people lined up to take photographs of it. It was a pretty good turnout, yes."

Thanks it's so unlikely that I thought it may have been a Photoshop pic made by a dreamy toy train enthusiast, if not a pic found at a trainspotters porn fair.
