So what? Still link to them because maybe we want to see them for ourselves even if it's glitched or not im sure we can find our way !

By the way, a simple workaround is to exit out of street view and then just reposition the marker that way if you arent at your exact location, degree of view should not matter

Nice find! I see the Streetview issue is affecting you as well. At first I thought that the tracks were removed.

Here are a few from the Wisbech line in England.

The line was last used in the summer of 2000, when the last train ran to the Purina Dog Food factory.

Here are the crossings.
https://www.google.com/maps/@52.5708541 ... 6656?hl=en


This one has a portion of its gate mechanism exposed!
https://www.google.com/maps/place/52%C2 ... .152?hl=en

A nice user operated crossing for a house, they won't need to be shutting those gates for a while!
https://www.google.com/maps/place/52%C2 ... .152?hl=en

It looks as if this crossing was operated by a signalman, but i can't see no signalbox anywhere!
https://www.google.com/maps/@52.6046037 ... 6656?hl=en

Another signalman operated crossing.

The Bramley Heritage Railway Trust resides here.

There is a man walking on the tracks here!

This crossing was located on the A47, It has since been removed except for the white light equipment.

Another User Operated Crossing?

And Finally... A signalman operated crossing.

Nice finds! Industrial branch/spur lines with level crossings doesn't really seem to be a thing in the UK. In fact neither is long out of service lines that still have level crossing equipment. Kind of sounds like something that you would find here in the US and Canada.

It appears that after the line was abandoned and the crossing was paved over, the crossing equipment was purposely preserved.

I came a cross this crossing from a post in a Facebook group that I'm apart of. In that post there is a picture of the relay cabinet when it had a bell!
