SIRT had grade crossings on the mainline too, even after it was the only line. I remember riding many trips out to Tottenville, and those awful shrill whistles on their cars would give you an earache when the motormen whistled for all the crossings.

I think they were all gone by the mid-1960's when the line was upgraded.
