Also, a good sign of a crossing being out of service is when it's gated on both sides, such as this:

https://www.google.com/maps/@34.1948841 ... authuser=0

That and the ties are buried.

Rails look shiny, so it could still be used, but just be a spur line.

view of the other side of the gate which is striped

this means that

a

either the railroad company didn't bother to stripe the agte

or b

It's definitely a spur, but by the famous crossing itself, it has to be out of service, especially with missing gates
