Private crossing in Clare near StageRight. Driveway is off of Pioneer Parkway.
I'll post a new one: where be it? Rails removed and crossing paved over recently. Business also ripping up the tracks on their property further into the background on the photo.

Adelaide Point development at end of Western Ave in Muskegon.

admin edit: correct. They chomped at the bit when the line was released to the city and paved over what they could.

I'm guessing Pine Street in Trenton.
Which has another name and an overpass.

Buster's got it. I think one of these crossing cantilevers is still there but the other has been replaced. My photo is from May of 1999.
