Cough, by crossing you mean the CSX Yuengling Spur Division.

You might want to check the day I posted that.

These are some nice 1980s CSX installs here! (Prior to bells being replaced.)

A Safetran bell on an abandoned crossing that was for some reason replaced with a rusted WCH Mechanical Bell yet this line has been OOS for years.

It may not necessarily be out of service, though. It may see use like 1-2 times a year, and that's it.

It is. In fact, IIRC, that's the line that the Indiana Transportation Museum used to operate, prior to being evicted by the city of Fishers, IN (IIRC, due to Fishers getting rather hostile with the museum). I believe the crossing above had long been out of service prior to that though.

Sounds like someone has gone rogue, then!

Prior to upgrade this crossing did have barriers until it was downgraded as part of pedestrianization.

Mix of AŽD 71 and AŽD 97 light units at a Czech crossing like that (at least at the time).
