Not sure if you actually wondered what Xing means, but in case you did I think is X-ing as in cross-ing. Similar to Xmas, is Christmas which I think Americans relate to the cross (even though the name of Jesus does not relate to the cross).

Yes I understood it as Crossing , but only because of the meta data behind it with Xmas, and railroad crossings having an X symbol etc
