On the U.S. Bank Main Stage
Crossing Mnisose (“minne-show-she”) tells the story of one of America's first feminists, Sacajawea, and draws a line from a completely original view of Lewis and Clark to the present day, as descendants of the Dakota and Lakota Nations continue their fight for the Mnisose (or what Europeans named the “Missouri River”) and the lands that contain the burials of their ancestors. From celebrated playwright, activist, and attorney Mary Kathryn Nagle (Cherokee Nation), whose Manahatta captivated audiences at Oregon Shakespeare Festival.

Killarney Crossing
Killarney, Ireland hamlet, Busch Gardens Williamsburg, Williamsburg, VA
Killarney's main entrance is located across the Killarney Crossing bridge (originally known as the "Brittany Bridge"), which is across from the Scotland Clydesdale stables. The hamlet opened on May 19th, 2001. It's basically a reskinned version of the original Hastings, England hamlet, which opened with the park on May 10th, 1975 and closed at the end of the 2000 season in October. The bridge was redone with Hastings flags and signage in 2015 for the park's 40th anniversary, and was returned to normal afterwards.

OK I've talked about this crossing long enough in my comments. This crossing was built in the early 90's when they removed the bridge and widened the road. It seams to have been pointless from what I can tell. One end was cut off in 1982 when the bridge over the Appomattox was removed. From the satellite view today the other end is not connected and I can not see where it went beyond the end.
Rob Worland brings number 43 "Clive" across the entrance crossing at the front of the museum. Rob has provided the following details:
This locomotive is one of the best Australian examples of the amusement park railway era, 1920s to
1960s. It has classic steam locomotive lines. It is at home on a circular portable track or meandering
through the grounds of a large facility hauling a very long train.
It is a copy of steam locomotive No.101 built for the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, Qld, in 1964.
Built in Brisbane in 1967 for Arthur Birch, the design brief was for a locomotive mechanically
identical to No.101 but as a 2-6-2 and cosmetically dressed to be a 1:3 scale representation of a
backwoods loco like those operated on the three-foot gauge Denver South Park and Pacific Railroad,
USA.
It operated at the Australian Reptile Park, North Gosford, NSW, from 1967 until 1975, on weekends
and part of the school holidays. From 1975 until 1997 with gradually increasing public traffic it
operated weekly at the Smoky Mountain and Grizzly Flats Railroad, Warnervale, NSW. It was then
stored on site. Due to Arthur Birch’s and Len Gaut’s generosity, in 2022 it shifted to the Melbourne
Steam Club.
It was built at Warner, Brisbane, Qld. (adjacent to Qld. Model Engineers site) by Jim Jackson who has
built 27 miniature steam locos, including 1 x 11” gauge, 3 x 12” gauge.
Locomotive details: 1:3 Scale
14 feet 10 inches long including tender, over pulling lines. 2’ 3” wide
11½” driving wheels. 6½” leading wheels and 8” trailing wheels.
Cylinders (2) 4” x 5½”. Piston valves. Baker valve gear. Steam operated drain cocks.
Tractive effort 810 lb Weight in working order 2¼ ton.
In Australia, the Melbourne Steam Club is the only venue specifically set up with a purpose and
culture complementary to Arthur Birch’s wishes for the loco to be on display and carrying public
passengers. The Melbourne Steam Club railway seeks to capture the early twentieth century scene of
express steam locomotives hauling main line trains. In appearance, No.43 matches the passenger cars
regarding height and width. Inspired by the 1960s recorded intentions of the Diamond Valley
Railway, in 1972 the Melbourne Steam Club decided to have a park gauge railway as an integral part
of the proposed museum facility. Passenger services began in March 1993.
No.43 operates on the last Sunday of each month. Another six 12” gauge express steam locos are
being prepared for display or hauling trains.

Copnor Crossing signal box by the Down line alongside Tangier Road level crossing at Portsea
Copnor Crossing signal box was a Saxby & Farmer type 5 design signal box that opened in 1879 for the London, Brighton & South Coast Railway Company and London & South Western Railway Company jointly owned Cosham Portcreek Junction and Portsmouth railway line. A 10 lever Stevens & Sons Tappet frame was installed when the signal box was closed on 28th April 1935 and replaced by Copnor Intermediate down home signal controlled from Green Lanes signal box and by Copnor Intermediate up home signal controlled from Fratton East signal box, the level crossing having been replaced by a bridge

ENGLISH
The river Ebro has been very important for our region, but it is also a geographical feature that has separated villages and people. In order to cross the water in stretches where there was no bridge, there have been for many years lots of boats which transported objects, animals - and later vehicles. These barges were made out of two or more llaguts (small traditional boats with a wooden platform). In order to fight the current of the river, the structure was subject to a wire tied to both shores. A mobile footbridge - at the level of the waters of the river - allowed people's access. Although almost all the regional villages had a Pas de Barca (crossing boat)until the 1960s, they disappeared due to better roads, road transport and the building of bridges in some of the most important villages. In fact, nowadays there are only two: one in Flix and another in Miravet. The Flix barge is electrical, but the one in Miravet makes use of the watercourse force.
Crossing the river by ferry or barge is a unique experience, which allows us to remember what sailing along the Ebro was like.

CASTELLANO
El río Ebro ha sido el nexo de unión del territorio, pero a la vez un accidente geográfico que separaba poblaciones y comarcas. Desde hace muchos años, para salvar las aguas en tramos donde no había puente, se instauró una red de embarcaciones que tenían por objetivo transportar personas, animales -y más tarde vehículos- de un lado al otro de la orilla. Estas embarcaciones se llamaban barcazas y estaban formadas por dos o más laüdes (embarcaciones tradicionales muy poco profundas) sobre de las cuales descansa una plataforma de madera. Para facilitar la estabilidad y combatir la corriente del río, la estructura estaba sujeta a un cable metálico atado a las dos orillas. Una pasarela móvil -que se adapta al nivel del las aguas del río- permitía el acceso de los viajeros. Aunque hasta los años 1960 casi todos los pueblos riberenses disponían de una barca de paso, la consolidación de las infraestructuras viarias, el transporte por carretera y la progresiva construcción de puentes en algunos de los pueblos más importantes han propiciado su desaparición. De hecho, hoy en día sólo se conservan dos: uno en Flix y el otro en Miravet. La barcaza de Flix funciona con energía eléctrica, en cambio el paso de barca de Miravet se sirve de la fuerza de corriente del agua. Cruzar el río con los transbordadores o las barcazas es una experiencia única que permite revivir una actividad que la modernidad ha convertido en un testigo vivo de la antigua navegación fluvial por el Ebro.

A quick snap with a compact camera. The little boy in the red car caught my eye and I waited till he was pushed across the crossings to take the snap.

National Route A006 (Argentina)
National Route A006 is a gravel road of 8.5 km (5.3 mi) connecting the town of Las Cuevas on the nortwhest of the province of Mendoza with the Christ the Redeemer monument in the border between Argentina and Chile. This road is only open in the summer season. It is always important to inquire in the cities of Mendoza or Uspallata on the road conditions as it could be impassable at times. In it winding length it changes altitude from 3,151 m (10,338 ft) to 3,832 m (12,572 ft).
Before the construction of the Cristo Redentor Tunnel, the road was the only border crossing between the two countries in this area.
