Facing South. A warning sign still protects the crossing.	Another closer view.	Facing East.	Another east view.

 

You can see the Danz Ave. #1 signals in the background of picture 2.

As you can clearly see in pictures 3 and 4, the track is long gone.
Most of the old road bed has been coverted to bike/rail trails.

Facing West.	This is the only warning sign for this crossing.	A closeup of the rails quitting facing West.	Looking North at the abandoned crossing.

 

All pictures were taken on October 20, 2006.

 

The crew on the crane truck in picture 5 was busy stacking up the last remaining ties visible in the foreground, and a flatbed truck hauled them away later.

 

The FRA still says the crossing still exists and is not closed!
