Ok, here is one of my crossings in Statesboro, taken by me, from the cab. This is a very unique crossing, 2 rail lines cross in the middle of a 5 way intersection.

(There is an E-Bell in it, per requirements)
Just the facts, ma'am.

Aren't that many crossings in my area that have e-bells. This is one of the few that does.

Is that crossing on Streetview? What are the street names, etc? Would really like to have a closer look at it.
