This crossing is located on the CSX Memphis Subdivision, with the KWT Railroad having trackage rights.
NOTE: The FRA claims that the current number for this crossing has no accidents, but the previous number (more info below about the previous number,) has one accident, so I'm gonna list it as if it had one accident.

The reason why the old DOT number on the tag in Picture 9 (as 350924U) still exists is because based on what I think, this road used to connect even more west towards U.S. Route 70 Business and TN State Route 1, where it would used to intersect that is what is now City Park Drive. However, based on my logic, I believe many citizens of Huntingdon didn't like this road going through, and some I think though it was dangerous, so the crossing was closed off and Northwood Drive would now intersect just south of this crossing on the same routes (U.S. Route 70 Business and TN State Route 1) near the TVA Credit Unit building and the FRA gave it a new DOT number for this crossing. And more of logic basing is that these signals I believe were original to this new crossing that was being re-done when the FRA gave this crossing a new DOT number instead of reusing the old one. If you look closely in Picture 23, you can actually see a pedestrian crossing just west of this crossing, with the sidewalk pavements that once used to be a road here. I was going to go up to that crossing, but it's basically unprotected, so I didn't bother of going to that pedestrian crossing just west of it. Interestingly enough, the pedestrian crossing just west of it is the only one on the whole CSX Memphis Subdivision!
