How are railroad crossings going to be? With or without barriers? It would be nice to hear the sound of the horn when the train arrives. But also barriers that would go up and down after the passage would be pretty.

Anyway, I remember that RR crossings have been modded several times for Sim City 4. It would be cute to have an eye-candy solution with a bell sound. 
Actually thats a good question.. how will RR crossings be? Hopefully we get the answer by this year
I'm pretty sure it's going to be a classic level crossing with barriers, though I'm not sure about the horns unfortunately.
If there's no horn sound CIMs will die! Mark my words animated blood will be on your hands....
Ok, a typical level crossing with maybe 1950s-style barriers frenetically going up and down with all those trains! Would be cute.
Hell yeah, it's not the same without those horrible BR piezo sirens screeching slightly off-key...
You have horns at RR crossings in Europe or something? In US we have bells. Or you talking about the horn on the train itself?
Depending on country, the crossing will have either a bell, a buzzer, or a miniature siren. A lot of the bell crossings are being phased out though, as well as crossings that use swing gates instead of barriers.
Horn on the train, bells on the crossing.. that's how it works down unda! anyways..
I think if it was going to be "easy" to put in then CO would just do it.
Im sure there are lots of small touches to the game that would be easy to add, but CO simply doesn't have the time to do them. They are a tiny studio after all. I have no idea if this kind of thing will be possible or not, just speculating.
