This crossing is located on the IAIS Iowa City Subdivision.

This is quite an interesting crossing. According to satellite view, this crossing was installed around 2011-2012 due to a new road being contructed for presumably a new buisness/industrial district.
As of 2023 this road still leads to nothing but a field of Iowan corn which you can see in the backround of picture 1.

Even though it leads nowhere, IAIS installed pedestrian gates here, ironically making it more protected than most crossings on the rest of the IAIS.
This crossing was originally installed with two GS Type 2 E Bells. Video of this crossing before the WRRS Mini was installed can be viewed here.

At some point between 2014-2022 IAIS somehow got a mini bell in their hands and installed it here. The speed was adjusted to be so quick that the hammer barely hits the gong.
This road has no street view (excluding my own coverage), and you can see tire tracks from teenagers who have used this mostly useless road as a place to do lots of drifting at high speeds.
