This crossing is located on the South Shore mainline and was along the 11th St. portion of street running in Michigan City.

In 2022, this crossing was completely redone. The street running was removed, and the mainline was made double tracked. In the process, South Shore installed two brand new WCH signals with 4 pedestrian gates. They also installed traffic cantilevers with an extra set of crossing lights which looks really weird.
