Unusual airports

Most of the typical ones we know, and a couple I didn't.  The train crossing the runway was a new one to me.

A train crossing a runway seems really dumb and lazy to me! That is ridiculous (if it's real ;))! What about you have a commercial airliner on final when a train is coming!! Make it go around? Just seems a little more confusion than it's worth!  ;)

How does Copalis State Airport even count as a airport?

No services, parked airplanes, or by looking at it stable runways. More or less just a spot that you can land on
