This Just Doesn't Look Safe

A Plane Waiting for a Train

Its quite a sight to see but this situation actually exists. Gisborne Airport located in Gisborne, New Zealand has a working railroad that cuts straight through the middle of the airport’s runway. No matter how incredible it may seem, airplanes periodically have to wait for a train to pass in order for them to take off.


 
Could you have moved the tracks or the runway? Planes came before trains so the train wins. Tracks on the tarmac just doesn't make any sense.
