This crossing is located on the former IANR Cedar Falls Utilities Spur.

 

On August 26, 2022, the last freight train ran on this line. It picked up some rolling stock that was left in storage at the Cedar Falls Utilities (which was last placed there in the summer of 2020).
Later on December 12, 2023, marks when the final train used this line. It was in fact, a rare IANR buisness train for CN to do an inspection of the line, due to their recent interest of buying out IANR at the time.
Unfortunately, the last and only customer on this line has stopped business with IANR, and plans were made to rip up the rails in 2023, but the line still remains as of 2024.
No progress on ripping up the tracks have been done, and it appears the line and its crossings will remain for many more years, slowly rotting away.

 

These older gateless signals have since been replaced, with newer gated ones, along with pedestrian signals in place since at least 2020.

The Eastbound signal. This signal has Griswold Type B incandescent lights and a WRRS mechanical bell.

 

Don't expect to see a train here as this track is very seldom used.

The Westbound signal. This signal has WRRS 8" incandescent lights, a Modern Industries junction box cover and a Griswold base.
