That is the second crossing I have seen like that. The other one I think is in Birmingham AL

Wow, neat place! I wonder if that depot is in an original location or if it got moved.

EDIT: Wow, the street layout right there. Yep, very indicative of rail lines intersecting. :TUP1:

This is how they treat some crossings here in Sweden while they modernize the rail line.

Looks like that's a line that's been abandoned and is getting torn out, based on the older imagery.
