Track views, facing North and South, respectively. This crossing is on a leg of a wye connecting the former CGW Chicago line with the Kansas City line.


A return visit by Hopen111 in May 2022 shows the grade has been paved over!

Here's an archive of Street View from May 2021. Thanks to Google's incompetance, these are the only photos of this crossing showing the existence of their coverage here, since Google decided for whatever stupid reason to completely delete their 2021 coverage in the whole area. I managed to save photos of the L.S. Brach bell, relay case, and DOT tag.
