The other used to have tracks, but they were replaced by concrete at some point:

Another angle from a few years prior where the former flangeways are more visible:

And the relay case for the crossing is on the opposite side of the street still.

paved over crossing
https://www.google.com/maps/@35.244253, ... 312!8i6656
another crossing i found where the tracks are paved over and it still has cross bucks too!
https://www.google.com/maps/@35.2656721 ... 312!8i6656
another paved over crossing with half a cross buck
https://www.google.com/maps/@35.2678973 ... 312!8i6656
yet another paved over crossing this time with a relay case
https://www.google.com/maps/@35.2846677 ... 312!8i6656
another paved over crossing this time with two signal bases and a relay case with emergency information that doesn't look that old!
https://www.google.com/maps/@35.3014983 ... i13312!8i6
same situation at next crossing two signal bases and a newer relay case with emergency information
https://www.google.com/maps/@35.3042401 ... 312!8i6656
kinda hard to tell on this one that there are remnants of stop marking s on either side of the crossing or that there is a signal base but easy to spot the relay case
https://www.google.com/maps/@35.2241282 ... 312!8i6656
here is the satellite view of what appears to be an abandoned small yard!
https://www.google.com/maps/@35.2155867 ... a=!3m1!1e3
found another one that surprisingly hasn't been paved over and has two cross buck and surprisingly a very old us&s relay case which is in decent condition!
https://www.google.com/maps/@35.0868045 ... 312!8i6656
found another one that still has pavement markings although they are extremely faded.
i am posting two views because it is on a hill some what and extremely faded

https://www.google.com/maps/@35.0722412 ... 312!8i6656
i thought the pavement marking for the second marking i showed you had faded to beyond illegibility but it hadn't and i nearly missed it and it is also the better condition.
https://www.google.com/maps/@35.0722371 ... 312!8i6656
only the cross buck posts remain at this crossing
https://www.google.com/maps/@35.0778261 ... 312!8i6656
only one complete cross buck and a cross buck post guard this crossing.
https://www.google.com/maps/@35.0792863 ... 312!8i6656
only a relay case and two crossing signals which are only missing the gates remain at this crossing!
https://www.google.com/maps/@35.0809672 ... 312!8i6656
only two crossbuck guard this crossing and the first cross buck in the street view the word crossing is mounted upside down so in stead of the word crossing it's ginissorc
https://www.google.com/maps/@35.0818053 ... 312!8i6656
he other cross buck is in way better shape and mounted correctly this time
https://www.google.com/maps/@35.0820338 ... 312!8i6656
only a lone crossbuck and a relay case at this crossing.
https://www.google.com/maps/@35.0828353 ... 312!8i6656
two complete signals guard this crossing both signals also which have a split cast iron crossbuck!
https://www.google.com/maps/@35.0836961 ... 312!8i6656
the next crossing only has one lone cross buck.
https://www.google.com/maps/@35.0859559 ... 312!8i6656
found another one that surprisingly hasn't been paved over and has two cross buck and surprisingly a very old us&s relay case which is in decent condition!
https://www.google.com/maps/@35.0868045 ... 312!8i6656
found some more signals in great shape other than one signal missing a light they are in decent condition
https://www.google.com/maps/@34.9700139 ... 312!8i6656
found an abandoned railroad bridge that goes over a highway that i wouldn't normally consider posting but it still has the rock islands lines lettering on it!
https://www.google.com/maps/@34.9436924 ... 312!8i6656
a lone cross buck guards this crossing along with an RXR yellow advance sign
https://www.google.com/maps/@34.932497, ... 312!8i6656
found two mre signals that are somewhat good of condition they are complete and it does indeed have a WRRS mini bell! but the sreet view is from 2009 and the signals do have some build up of rust
https://www.google.com/maps/@34.9039452 ... 328!8i1664
found two more complete signals they are in such good shape that i'm amazed not also that but this crossing's lone bell is a Wabco bell!
overview of the crossing

close up of the Wabco bell
https://www.google.com/maps/@34.8871643 ... 312!8i6656
we what appears to be a yellow advanced warning sign but because the street view is from the highway and there is no street view on that particular road and because the back side of the sign is facing the highway there is currently no way to tell unless you we went out there and checked your self so i will let you decide on what you think
https://www.google.com/maps/@34.9167577 ... 312!8i6656
now i'm sure that the one above is what i think it is based on whats at the next crossing over.
https://www.google.com/maps/@34.9180743 ... 312!8i6656
two cross bucks and one stop line do the warning here although i think this crossing might be active due to the fact that it is mint condition the right of way but then i could be maintained because it's on a highway and state law requires it to but i don't know
https://www.google.com/maps/@34.9251609 ... 312!8i6656
i sure i have come to beginning of the active portion based on this
