While bumming around on Google Maps looking at the new street view images, I noticed that the BNSF/UP/AMTK Substation Road crossing outside of Girard, IL has been taken out of service.

Re: Substation Road -- Girard, IL
I would have to assume those dates really should match. I doubt they would close one crossing and leave the other one open for 5 more months. Cars couldn't get very far after crossing the one set of tracks.
