Mississippi: Granada south to Canton. Lines splitting off of it at Aberdeen JCT also abandoned. Another abandoned line splits off N of Granada Lake. This one has boatlaods of abandoned cars stored on it. Lots of crossbucks on this line are an odd oversized font. Gates have been removed.
Got another recently abandoned line to report on. According to a friend of mine, the unused portion of the NS AG Branch in Gadsden, AL (the former TAG Railroad) was recently torn up, with all of the crossbucks and tracks (that weren't in the crossings) removed. That includes the following crossings that are or or were planned to be on the site:
Tuscaloosa Avenue #1 (reportedly, while the tracks around the crossing and the crossbucks on the signals have been removed, the gate arms still remain, oddly enough): http://www.rxrsignals.com/Alabama/G-Q/G ... scaloosa1/
Not much evidence left beyond there, though it appears that it crossed this road about right here and terminated at the plant just west of this apparent former crossing: https://www.google.com/maps/@33.0450619 ... 312!8i6656
That has been posted before, if you didn't notice.

The crossing in this video i assume is out of service as the lights do not work, there is a sign posted here in Finnish that translates to.
"the warning facility is not functioning" (Google Translated version, though i'd say "Caution, the crossing system is not functioning)
Kind of hard to see, but if I were likely to guess, I think this once connected the Stone Mountain Park that's nearby. (And yes, the rails have since been removed.)
