In the 1940s and 1950s, Sydney airport had a railway crossing over one of its runways. It turned out as well as you'd expect:
>On 18 June 1950 a Douglas DC-3 of Ansett Airways taxiing for take-off from runway 22 for a night-time passenger flight to Brisbane, hit and partially derailed a coal train travelling on the railway line that crossed the runway. Only the co-pilot was injured.
