This crossing is located on the CCKY Central of Georgia Line, with the TVRM having trackage rights.

 

Note: This crossing doesn't seem to have a DOT number signed by the FRA. The DOT number on both of the ENS signs actually lead to a shortline crossing somewhere in Michigan, not here. The MP is also a guess too.
