DV_LevelCrossings
Bring life and realism to Derail Valley's railway crossings!
DV_LevelCrossings transforms static railway crossing barriers into fully dynamic, train-reactive systems. Barriers automatically lower as trains approach and raise once the track is clear, complete with flashing lights and warning bells.
Designed to be lightweight, reliable, and game-safe.

[]If train remains within the crossing block, then Barriers remain down.
