Last time I looked half of it was still standing, the other half having
been removed sometime before 1990 (Harold C Jenkins was the General
Manager of CCTA and when I talked to him in 1990 he recounted it being
removed for liability reasons)

This location isn't clicking. The Moxham end of the Ferndale bridge had a
"high" and "low" side of the road and is still like that, but the railroad
crossing was on the far side of the bridge. There was also a crossing at
the other end of Moxham but no separated road.
