Intersecting Feature with a Route

Question

Just started in with Linear Referencing, and have set up a Route, and was wondering if there is a way to extract information (measure) from the route to another feature, i.e. a culvert intersecting the route to obtain the SLM location of that feature.

Use the Intersect tool with the points option and the Routes as the primary geometry.  The M value of the intersection will be in the point together with the Route ID and the culvert information.  Calculate the M value to a field using a Python Field Calculator calculation of:
