The label mentioned in this post will report both station and elevation, but the reported values are of the profile, not the pipe. It's not a big deal for the elevation, but the alignment number will of course be bogus for most pipe profiles inside a typical plan set. The easiest way I can think to find this value is to use an inquiry tool in plan view. It's still manual, and harder than it should be, but perhaps a little easier than manually calculating the station.

I need to be able to not only label the crossing invert, but also to place the station along the crossed line and invert elevation where it crosses into a pipe or structure table. The idea is to present a profile of the main line with the crossing symbols located along it. I could label the crossings with an ID Name and then present a table that shows the stations along the main line where the crossings occur and their elevations and descriptions from the crossing pipes data. It sounds like a pretty resonable request to me, but I can only extract the stations, etc. from the start or end of the crossing pipes - not at the crossing intersection.
