Well, now a days it's pretty useless.
Also, the situation kinda reminds me of this crossing here in Huntsville:

No crossing here, but a slightly unusual sign for a trail:

That is a rail trail right there. Not uncommon for these things to pay some sort of homage to their old past

Kinda reminds me of Ashland, VA a bit.

That's actually an old gateless CofG install, with the original WRRS bell on one signal! It appears that the SOU did upgrade the original WRRS lights at some point though. Nice to see another split crossbuck on that line here in Alabama as well.

At least it was an upgrade to 8" lights, and not 12" lights

One side doesn't have a crossbuck, and one side has one that is turned the wrong way.

looks like the crossbuck has been turned around.

That is a
huge crossing though! If I counted correctly, it has 19 tracks going across it!
