This crossing is located on the NS Memphis West End District.
At the time I was there, someone called me in and thought I was a terrorist, even though I'm only just trying to get photos of the crossings on this line. Because of the officer I talked to, I had to zoom in on the railroad crossing equipment I needed to photograph on the side walk, or just stay in the car. I still got good photos of the crossings despite this. If you decide to come to this area, take increased caution and only stay on the sidewalk if you don't want to be called in.
