This has to be a contender for "Weirdest Ever Post To R.A.S.", surely?

Monster Truck Madness (Microsoft) has active railway crossings.

Yes there is a track that has a railroad crossing and while the chances are 2% you will
have your race car there when the train speeds through makes the track very playable !

cool stuff.

the caveats and biscuits:

I don't remember which Need for speed. I am guessing 4. I am pulling up my old NFS games
and looking.
That was great fun.

IIRC Ignition has a rail crossing (an obscure answer for an equally obscure
thread!).

Rail tracks at the blind fast left hander leading to the overpass at
Sachsenring in GPL. Perfect illustration why trying to use unmarked
railroad crossing in F1 car is not a good idea

I was wondering if there are any racing games out there that have

I would like to see boat ramps so that I could occasionally wash my car.

Actually, I think it would be interesting if a racing game features
hazards such as tornadoes, high speed winds, floods, and lightning
that can fry the electrical system of your car. Perhaps even an
earthquake or two.

Um, ok. Try Mario Kart for the N64.

If somebody ever does a version of the San Jose Grand Prix, there's a
spot where the Champ Cars bounce over the light-rail lines downtown.
Or did they change that this year? I was there last year watching
right at that spot, and it was quite amazing how much the cars bounced
going over that.

Oops, I guess that was 2005, actually. So I"m two years out of the
loop.

The train goes along side, but doesn't cross the track.

There's is a modified version of Kindiak Park where the
train does cross the track. It's part of the NFS4 "Expansion Pack".

I think they fixed and smoothed out the crossing because of this very
issue. The cars were getting damaged, not to mention jarring the snot
out of the drivers. There was a video on Youtube I recall that had
"before and after" videos of that crossing.
