Also, a good sign of a crossing being out of service is when it's gated on both sides, such as this:

https://www.google.com/maps/@34.194846, ... authuser=0
https://www.google.com/maps/@34.1948841 ... authuser=0

That and the ties are buried.

Believe that may actually be a model of WABCO cantilever? I'd have to double check with Paul.
They/Them for me, please.
