Bennington, VT
At this point, the tracks are no longer represented as existing on Google Maps. First crossing has wooden posts with 3 Tracks and EXEMPT signs.

This side's signs are leaning over.

A boxcar and caboose potentially being restored next to what looks like an old station.
https://goo.gl/maps/VCFBUNePkH72

Nothing remains at the crossing next to the station.

Obscured view of the caboose at what appears to be the end of the line.

Welp, I was right; this was a station.

Utrecht, Netherlands. Part of the Spoorwegmuseum line.
For starters, i'm not gonna say this crossing is abandoned, as if you look down the line, it doesn't end for another quarter of a mile, as it seems that this crossing may get rare use for car/engine storage.

You could see the rest of the line back in its heyday in 2009.
https://www.google.com/maps/@52.0854674 ... 312!8i6656
Interestingly enough, they decided to preserve the pantographs here! (Some of the line is now a trail)
https://www.google.com/maps/@52.083892, ... 312!8i6656
Quite an interesting crossing
https://www.google.com/maps/@52.083979, ... 312!8i6656
The next crossing is basically the same thing
https://www.google.com/maps/@52.0828901 ... 312!8i6656
This was after the equipment was removed.
https://www.google.com/maps/@52.0828865 ... 312!8i6656
There is a set of buffers here!
https://www.google.com/maps/@52.0827832 ... 312!8i6656
Quite a nice trestle, untouched after trail conversion.
https://www.google.com/maps/@52.0808898 ... 312!8i6656
A trestle from 1973, this line may've been NS property, until the railway mueseum took control, used it for a while until they abandoned it.
https://www.google.com/maps/@52.0790951 ... 312!8i6656
They've kept this thing from a crossing!
https://www.google.com/maps/@52.0773491 ... 312!8i6656
There are also hints of where the tracks were!

I tried following the view via satelite, but i don't think this could be a clue.

What's weird about those? Those were common on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway.
