Closed off railroad crossings.
Are there any railroad crossings in your area that are closed off? This railroad crossing https://www.google.com/maps/@30.2030921 ... 312!8i6656 is closed off. There's a nearby overpass that goes over the railroad.

Re: Closed off railroad crossings.
There are several in my area, a couple of which are on the site. I'm also moving this to the correct forum.
They/Them for me, please.

Re: Closed off railroad crossings.
Here are some one's I can think of off the top of my head:
https://www.google.com/maps/@39.8138063 ... 6656?hl=en
Here is the other side: https://www.google.com/maps/@39.8138345 ... 6656?hl=en
This was a nice one that operated as a double crossing:
https://www.google.com/maps/@39.7707138 ... 6656?hl=en
https://www.google.com/maps/@39.7710955 ... 6656?hl=en
The signals remained up but deactivated for several years... they thought at one time they were going to re-open the road, but that never happened: https://www.google.com/maps/@39.7706813 ... 1664?hl=en
https://www.google.com/maps/@39.7442973 ... 6656?hl=en
https://www.google.com/maps/@39.7960137 ... 6656?hl=en
https://www.google.com/maps/@39.8060565 ... 6656?hl=en
Here is this one just after it was closed (with the signals still in place): https://www.google.com/maps/@39.8060958 ... 6656?hl=en
Same fate as above for this crossing:
https://www.google.com/maps/@39.808349, ... 6656?hl=en
https://www.google.com/maps/@39.8083385 ... 6656?hl=en
https://www.google.com/maps/@39.8112715 ... 6656?hl=en
This at one time was a 4 way crossing:
https://www.google.com/maps/@39.8152647 ... 6656?hl=en
Here is what it looked like 10 years ago: https://www.google.com/maps/@39.8152548 ... 1664?hl=en
https://www.google.com/maps/@39.8224944 ... 6656?hl=en
This at one time was a dirt road that went all the way to the next road to the south of the crossing. You can still see remnants of the old road on satellite view. This just had crossbucks only, no signals.

Re: Closed off railroad crossings.
Here's some on the Bellingham Subdivision near where I live.
Thornton Street, Ferndale. No streetview available so I had to zoom in from I-5.
https://goo.gl/maps/ftgwkQ2GfUR2
Delta Line Road, Custer.
https://goo.gl/maps/fgiMcJJPimD2
Creasey Road, Custer. Crossing closed because railcars are often stored on the siding as seen in this Street View.
https://goo.gl/maps/5oJw1xHyzDP2
Percie Road, Custer. I'm thinking of filming here sometime.
https://goo.gl/maps/Jv6ATnwc4bD2
Sumas Subdivision
2nd Street, Sumas. Very old and fuzzy image from when the crossing was open. The Advance Warning (RXR) sign still stands next to the post office however.
https://goo.gl/maps/mqF49nS7Kq42
Scutvick Road, Deming. Been closed for as long as I can remember. Area is now overgrown.
https://goo.gl/maps/kaFdX7o6reT2
Here's one in Lakeland, Fl. Back in 2011, there were cantilevers here. They even operated.
https://goo.gl/maps/NAZsJTXFm8k
https://goo.gl/maps/yKcLnj5rkRU2
Fast forward to 2016 and the signals are gone.
https://goo.gl/maps/VTHYqaJWTBN2
Some crossbucks and stop signs were placed here though.
https://goo.gl/maps/LghPs9CaK5y
This one in Rock Hill, SC is interesting. Abandoned road and tracks.
https://goo.gl/maps/AC4tpLebQVT2
It's gone now.
