TX: Some Farmer's Branch crossings may be defunct

I stopped by the Alpha, Cambridge Concourse, and Great Indoors crossings.
The Alpha crossings is not on the site but does recieve mention for not having any crossbucks. It , however, used to have RXR signs in advance of the crossing, but they were removed, but their posts still stand.
It and the Cambridge Concourse have sign post stubs that were installed a good while ago, appearently for new crossbucks that were never installed.
The Great indoors crossing has one of it's crossbuck/stop sign assemblies missing.
These crossings may be abandoned. The rails near Alpha Rd are severely rusted and pitted on top. i know it can be hard to jusdge on lightly used trackage, so i really cannot be sure.
