Diagonally across from the Runkel train station, time seems to have stood still, because a gatekeeper is still securing the level crossing on Schadauer Straße in his wonderfully built guard building.

Here, the barrier is still being run up and down in manual mode. This can still be seen in many gatekeepers' houses on the Lahntalbahn route.
