 "Its Billup's crossing, Grenada MS. Illinois Central railroad. It was the only one built, and was taken down in the 1970's. I've never seen anything like this in 40+ years of looking at RR things. It had an air raid siren attached, the neon blinked. What ever dierection the train came from, the arrow would light to warn drivers. I guess it was cheaper than an overpass, on a problematic crossing. This absolutely should have been saved. here's a link to a site with a video recreation of it" The World's Most Metal Railroad Crossing: The Billups Railroad Crossing
