From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A Level crossing (also called a railroad crossing, road through railroad, train crossing or grade crossing) is a crossing on one level ("at-grade intersection") — without recourse to a bridge or tunnel — of a railway line by a road or path.

Q. I have been fighting them for almost 2 years. I finally received a decision letter regarding my first appeal. Now I'm filing the second.

In any case, you write a letter, including the reason they denied the coverage the first time, and your evidence that the denial reason is wrong.
