Pretty neat little mining railroad there. That appears to be their only crossing.
Based on the rust and plants though, I'd say the crossing doesn't get much use.
I wonder who made those lights though...
Weird how there is a gate in the middle but not one on the other end, typically crossings like this would have one gate on each end and none in the middle, just gate-less signals in the middle.
This is the video that I found the crossing from, I didn't actually find this crossing by browsing through Google Maps and Streetview like I usually do.

Because those are three separate crossings. If they were all interconnetcted, then there would be an "X Tracks" sign present at both ends.
Tonight while I was going across Busch Boulevard in Tampa, I noticed that the westbound side cantilever had two double-sided crossbucks! It caught my eye when I saw my headlights reflecting off of them.

We have some of those around here, they're kind of like half double crossings for lack of a better term. And then there are the infamous crossings located on the NS Detroit Line/CN Shore line like this one, and formally this one and this one. There is also the passive version like this one, and there is also a mast only version like this one, but I only know of just one mast only version.

But those all feature "x Tracks" signs that have the correct number of tracks listen on all of them. The ones I posted either lack them entirely, or one or more have the wrong number of tracks listed, or one is missing while the other is there.
