This is probably the most weirdest crossing bypass i've ever seen.

Carlisle, Ohio, has something similar. I know it's been posted before, but here's the link, in keeping with the topic:

Welcome to Georgia.

What does a closed crossing have to do with Georgia??

Probably that hastily-constructed barrier there.

Somebody has decided to be a wise guy and force sections of gates into the ground.

I've seen CSX do that before in other places. Not entirely sure why, though likely MOW related purposes, if I had to hazard a guess.

Makes sense, considering it's coming off of an interstate highway.

Well, its a note for drivers of commuter buses/school buses that they are not required to stop at the crossing.

I wonder what this could be, must be some sort of wayside horn or a speaker...

I am not sure why the gates here have Swedish styled stripes here.

This also gets my head spinning...

I've never seen a crossing in which you have to YIELD to traffic to proceed.

Active crossing (More Swedish gates)
https://www.google.com/maps/@44.4282389 ... 312!8i6656

...What could be some sort of light indication to inform train crews that the crossing is activated.

A pretty old installation (Most likely 60's or 70's Modern Industries installtion, One of the tracks here are long gone though.

Old RACO cantelievers.

Quite an unusual 4-way crossing.

Nearby, there is a 3M head being used as a beacon.
