Fishermen's Crossing, likely named for its use by fishermen to access the nearby River Severn, is located between [[Arley]] and [[Highley]], just North of [[Borle VisductViaduct]]. It is also known as Coombys Farm Crossing, after the nearby farm.
In 1984 it was the scene of a collision between [[LMS Ivatt Class 2 46443|Ivatt Class 2 46443]] and a van which drove onto the crossing without stopping, the crossing gates having been left open by a previous user. The van was carried 100 yards down the track but fortunately no injuries occurred. H.M. Railway Inspectorate found no fault with the locomotive/train braking or the signing of the crossing, and no blame for the collision was attached to the Railway.
