Just use caution, slow down and cross perpendicular to the tracks. The only place I really remember crossing tracks was right outside of Cumberland. And there are a couple of other places like when going into town. Rockwood for one as I recall.
IMHO the biggest danger is the gates and bollards where the trail meets the road. Real easy to slam into one if you are not paying attention.
