Picture 1 shows the "slanted" grade crossing sign that isn't too easy to find. Pictures 2-4 show the overall crossing. It almost became a 4-quad, but not quite.

Three General Signals Electronic bells along with 12"x24" lights protect the 6-train per day crossing. CSX owns the crossing, but NS and Amtrak have trackage rights.

This crossing is right next to the Aeroglide plant. The person who's sent me the pictures, named Tom, had a cousin who worked at the plant for a long time. She died from cancer not too long ago at a young age.
