Around me there is real rail with fll-sized enginers and is fully freight capable that has level crossings. Definteliy not light_rail because of crossings. > - Railway mainly with tracks embedded on the street: railway=tram agreed. One of the tricky things, as Bill Ricker points out downthread, is Boston's Green line. This is fundamentally light rail. Sometimes it runs in tunnels. Sometimes it runs in a fenced-off median but does have level crossings. These are controlled by stoplights (for both train and cars), rather than train-priority crossing gates. And sometimes it runs on tracks in the street where cars also drive.
