I had found this crossing on Google Maps after my trip down to this area in February, so I made sure to come out here to document it for the site. I wasn't expecting to catch anything here, but when I saw that there was a train about to shove through the crossing, I was able to quickly get my camera set-up just before the crossing activated. The crossing is in a bit of a unique spot at CR 16 splits Vulcan's quarry into two parts, so trains switching the quarry will sometimes have to come through here while switching. This crossing is also owned and maintained by Vulcan, and is the only signalized crossing on the rail lines for their quarry.
