Note the mini-grade crossing and its flashing lights!

Yes, I noticed the mini-grade crossing. Despite the flashing lights, there are close calls every week, particularly involving people trying to catch the 7:30 express into Phila. as the 7:27 train to West Trenton is approaching. Visibility is decent except when it's foggy, but people still don't think to look. And there was a tragedy at this station on a Sunday in 2005 - two elderly women were killed by a not-in-service train that they must have thought was the one they were trying to make.

I have seen some pretty weird pedestrian crossings in my life, but that is by far the strangest.
