This crossing is located on the CSX Grand Rapids.

While I was photographing this crossing, some lady in the house seen in Picture 2 came up to me asking what I was doing.  After explaining to her and talking with her for a few minutes, she proceeded back and told someone else (maybe her husband) that I was just some weirdo taking pictures of trains.  If you see this page lady, just know that I heard that.
