The most known runway crossed by a railway is certainly at Gisborne Airport in New Zealand. It's probably less known that a railway was also crossing the former Mascot Airport in Sidney. This crossing wasn't without some risks. In 1950 a DC-3 Ansett Airwaays hit an empty coal wagon while taxiing out on the runway. The DC-3 was extensively damaged and five of the empty coal wagons were derailed. Only the DC-3's First Officer received minor injuries.
In order to recreate this further and particular crossing, I had to redo the former Mascot Airport using some few elements of "1961 YSSY Sidney Kingsford Smith Intl" scenery.
BTW, the airport is very busy, even with 1955 traffic.

And the Khyber Pass Railway connecting Peshawar with Landi Kotal, near the Afghan border. The railway crosses taxiway and runway of Peshawar Int'l Airport.
