This crossing is located on the UP Springfield Sub, part of the Illinois High Speed Rail Corridor.

While I was here, the crossing was malfunctioning with the lights flashing and bells ringing, but the gates were up. So all photos are action shots, as I didn't want to wait for the maintainer to get here since I had a ton of crossings I wanted to get to this day.

In October 2024, we see all of the WCH LEDs were replaced with GE Dotted LEDs, and all of the gates were replaced. The ENS tags were also turned forward.

There's some conduit sticking out. Not sure if it's for the crossing or something else.
