The crossbuck is very far from the road. https://www.google.com/maps/@43.8335977 ... 6656?hl=en
The other crossbuck is close enough to the road but is very far from the crossing!

These are all from Sanford, North Carolina:

Found a couple of signals on display at an old station between several live tracks:

Street running... down an unpaved street!

No mast lights on either side:

https://www.google.com/maps/@35.4759942 ... 56!6m1!1e1
And this one doesn't have mast lights on the fronts, only the rear.

This bump out for the gate appears to be a do it yourself job...

At the very end of this line is a long string of storage cars that looks like they have been there quite awhile:

Active private crossing:

Check out that BAD sign on the left edge of the frame

So I decided to advance forward to see what was leading this train:

Salt Lake City, Utah. Extra crossbucks on the left and right, in the middle of this 6 track crossing:

And here's another crossing in North Carolina with no mast lights:

I'm trying to figure out what purpose they serve, since they don't appear to be facing traffic.

Ah yes, the infamous CraIG CountY sign.

I wouldn't call that private crossing "active" though, since it's only crossbucks.
