“The Lego 7853 Grey Crossing, is a re-release of its 155: Cross Rails, Straight Track and Base Plates, but in a gray color. The set comes with only one cross rail, and track connectors.”
Full review at bricktrains-sets.com
“This set contains a single rail crossing for push-along and 4.5V trains and comes with 4 sleeper plates. A similar crossing for 12V trains is available as set 7857. This set was available from 1980 but was retired early in 1984, the only of the track sets to suffer such... More faith, presumably because most push-along and 4.5V track layouts were upgraded to 12V before being expanded with a rail crossing.”

About Trains 4.5V / 12V

In 1972 LEGO released the 4.5V and 12V train sets as part of the Blue Era which was named because of the rail color. These train sets used additional conductor rails mounted between the standard 4.5V rails and 12V motors contained in the same housings as the 4.5V motors, but with additional metal contacts attached to the bottom of the housings.

4.5V / 12V consists of 83 sets that ran from 1972 to 1986. As of today, 7750 Steam Engine with Tender is the most valuable 4.5V / 12V set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of $6,957.
