Found an empty BNSF coal train here in Huntsville!

Not too far away there is a crossbuck that is barely hanging on.

And this one looks like it was hit.

A couple of CN units:
https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=3 ... -0.96&z=21

And a railroad crossing next to an outdoor warning siren. I'm pretty sure it is used by the near-by chemical plant.
https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=3 ... ,4.11&z=21

And another crossing near a siren.

Close-up of the siren if anyone is curious:
https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=3 ... -9.64&z=19

Safetran type 1:
https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=3 ... 13.96&z=18

I wonder if this qualifies as a gated crossing or not:
https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=3 ... -1.37&z=18

Rectangular E-bell:
https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=3 ... 16.18&z=18

Another one not too far away:
https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=3 ... -7.19&z=20

Odd...
https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=3 ... 18.58&z=19

Most of the crossings you mention I do have on my list of getting in the future

The last one the utility pole would block an approaching vehicle anyway.
Also ALL the new NS crossings here in the midwest have gone up with track signs weather it has one or more tracks.
