I wonder if its being used for storage.

Bingo.

That crossing is also a rather nice one. The signal near the container appears to be a 1980s CSX install that had the bell and gate mech replaced:

The other one appears to be an early to mid 2000s install with a Fabricated Metals base on it:

Either way, I personally wouldn't mind recording that crossing, it does seem to be a rather nice one, even if it has been rather modernized.

Shouldn't this sign say "Slippery when Ice is present" or something like that? I can't think of a time I've almost slipped on concrete that was wet.

It's probably warning about this wooden bridge just beyond the sign, as wood can get rather slick when it gets wet:

Old incandescent Durasigs, that, based on the condition of the worded pedestrian signals there, likely haven't been maintained very well.

Reminds me of the road that goes up Pike's Peak in Colorado Springs. Not a road you want to drive on if you are afraid of heights.
