We initially believed this to be a screenshot from a video game. However, it's a real picture. Here are more pictures of the airport runway with train tracks:

in a 2014 issue of Vector magazine, a publication about aviation: “A Grumman TBF Avenger waits on runway 32 while Gisborne City Vintage Railway’s train, headed by the 1897 locomotive WA 165 crosses in its path. Gisborne Aviation Preservation Society Open Day. 2 June 2013.”

Air traffic controllers at Gisborne Airport say pilots on approach should not be alarmed by the absence of the long-established signals telling them a train is about to cross the runway. Air traffic controllers have always had to juggle train crossings and aircraft landings, although since KiwiRail scrapped its Gisborne-Napier service, the only trains now using the runway crossing belong to the local vintage train club.
