Active crossing in Bomen, NSW:

Sadly that crossing and the siding it's located on are currently out of service, also the teardrop bell has since been replaced by a WCH m-bell. I'm pretty sure that Silverton (the operator of the train) no longer exist either.

This crossing went out of service sometime around 2007 and the tracks were out of service until around 2015/2016 when these crossings were brought back to life.

Nice find! Its very rare to see lines get abandoned for some time and then get revived, those crossings to me look to be 1970's to 1980's installs? Who were the original line owners?
While looking and this crossing, the mechanical bell was at risk of falling from the cantiliever, it had come loose!

And a two lane one-way crossing as well!

I remember a while ago David posted a crossing in the remote Upper Peninsula of Michigan and the line had been abandoned for a while but it had been revived.
