Thats a dead end crossing!!! or a Very bad switch. What is really happening is the one track is still in use and the other isn't. The one not in use has been cut back and abandoned in place. At some time in the future it may be used again. Thats why it wasn't all picked up. In the town where i lived we had one like that. B&O had one and N&W had the other track they crossed just like that. Don't know if they still do or not....
Thats a good thing. They say we will have a couple more nice days then some rain and then next...Cold!! They say the the first part of Feburary will be really COLD!!! Like back at the 1st week of January. I am not looking forward to that!!
