Main North Railway Level Crossing:
When the main north railway went through Ben Lomond (before it was closed after Armidale), it would cross here on Ben Lomond Road. Note the old level crossing warning triangle, apart from the railway itself, this is the only evidence of the old level crossing. January 2006.
