Hi,
First I'd like to thank anyone reading this for taking time to come and read this.
There are Wikias for just about everything, like cartoon Wikias, including some fandom Wikias, train wikias (e.g. http://trains-and-locomotives.wikia.com/wiki/Trains_And_Locomotives_Wiki, recommended for my fellow railfans,) and so on.
There are also Wikias for seemingly less significant topics (but may be significant to the creators of the wikia and those who support the creators, some I don't find insignificant), like:
Sound Effects Wikia: http://soundeffects.wikia.com/wiki/Soundeffects_Wiki Found this one a few days ago
A Wikia about Deaths in Movies http://movie-deaths.wikia.com/wiki/Movie_Deaths_Wiki I commented on the death of a Swat Kats character (note, if you're sensitive, do not click this link, this shows pictures of a character dying) http://movie-deaths.wikia.com/wiki/Warden_Cyrus_Meece
Even Wikias about Potty Emergencies and Toilet Humor but I won't list any links to this, too taboo.
There's a wiki for just about anything, from the topics lots of people would be interested in to topics few people are interested in. What I'm going to talk about fits the "Few People Are Interested In" category so we'll get to the point right now.
I'd like to see a Wikia, or a page within a Wikia about Railroad Crossings featured in cartoons/ animated shows and animated movies, 2D or 3D, classic or modern. Just for the record, I'm highly interested in railroad crossings both real and in animation, especially American and Canadian railroad crossings and crossings with crossing gates.
You may not care about this yourself so please only read this if you're interested and want to help out.
And I have a list of cartoons that have featured railroad crossings or railroad crossing like objects.
The Simpsons: The Simpsons has featured railroad crossings in a few episodes. One example is "Them Robot" and the following image shows one shot of the featured crossing
Other episodes include "Kill the Alligator and Run," the episode where Homer goes a month without drinking, the episode where Homer refuses to go to church with his family, the episode where Moe commits Insurence Fraud and Homer gets in trouble for it, the episode about the man who created the mouse cartoon character that lead to the creation of Itchy and Scratchy, which production was shut down due to a court battle, and an episode where Marge goes blind due to a solar eclips. Sorry I don't know the names of all these episodes or the ones in some of the following cartoons I list:
Bernard A cartoon about this polar bear that gets into lots of trouble. Two episode segments featured a railroad crossing. These are a few screenshots:
Don't worry, Bernard doesn't get hit by any trains in either episode.
Busytown Mysteries A possible spin-off to the older cartoon "The Busyworld of Richard Scary." At least three episodes have featured railroad crossings
- "Where's the Hero"
-"Lost Orphaned Egg"
-"Lost Parrot"
The following are from "Where's the Hero"
Madagascar 3 Movie Despite the setting taking place in Europe, American-like railroad crossing signals are used.
Dumbo Two railroad crossings were featured in the classic animated Disney movie Dumbo. One crossing featured just a passive crossing sign and the other one featured a wigwag signal. IT's possible there was a third crossing near that crossing with a crossbuck sign or maybe they were one in the same crossing.
Rocko's Modern Life At least two episodes, as far as I know, featured a railroad crossing. The following is from the episode "Driving Mrs. Wolfe," where Rocko tries to teach Mrs. Wolfe to drive.
Curious George (PBS Kids) Three episodes featured railroad crossings or someone owning a railroad crossing signal. One episode is Curious George Station Master, which is where the following five screencaps come from:
And this one is from the episode "George Gets Winded"
Fairly Odd Parents There are a few episodes that feature railroad crossings or railroad crossing signals and different railroad crossing signals were used throughout the show. The episode will be mentioned in the captions of the pictures
