This crossing is located on the former IANR Cedar Falls Utilities Spur.
Page created by Hopen111 (using HopenRXRTools 1.0.3).

On August 26, 2022, the last freight train ran on this line. It picked up some rolling stock that was left in storage at the Cedar Falls Utilities (which was last placed there in the summer of 2020).
Later on December 12, 2023, marks when the final train used this line. It was in fact, a rare IANR business train for CN to do an inspection of the line, due to their recent interest of buying out IANR at the time.
Unfortunately, the last and only customer on this line has stopped business with IANR, and plans were made to rip up the rails in 2023, but the line still remains as of 2024.
No progress on ripping up the tracks have been done, and it appears the line and its crossings will remain for many more years, slowly rotting away.

A return visit shows no changes have occurred to the crossing. However, there's also an unpleasant surprise from the airline industry...

The RRS bell is still here!
I had plans to take a drone to go see the rainshield markings of the RRS bell, but thanks to the nearby airport, I'm not legally allowed to!

A return visit in March 2025 by Hopen111 shows no changes have occurred.
