This crossing is located on the Conecuh Valley Railroad.

 

*The FRA claims this crossing hasn't had any accidents at it.

However, the FRA records an accident for Love Street #1 (CSX) that's from the COEH, so I think it was meant for this crossing, so I put the accident count as 1.

 

This crossing acts as a double crossing with Love Street #1.
