This crossing is located on a branch line off of the BNSF Birmingham Subdivision.

 

*This crossing was marked as "closed" back in 2003 (likely when this line went dead), but, for whatever reason, the FRA marked it as a "new crossing" back in 2016 and claimed the crossing, in the same spot, seeing one train a week.

As such, I've put both counts on this page. Interestingly enough, both reports are counted as "current" by the FRA it seems, and the newer one also puts the milepost as "0000.00". Not entirely sure what the FRA's doing here.
