Several proposals for a time-of-arrival distribution of ensembles of independent quantum particles subject to an external interaction potential are compared making use of the ``crossing state'' concept. It is shown that only one of them has the properties expected for a classical distribution in the classical limit. The comparison is illustrated numerically with a collision of a Gaussian wave packet with an opaque square barrier.
