We've got at least two unguarded crossings in Covington, GA that I'm aware of, with only stop signs. One is at the CSX interchange with the Great Walton RR, the other is a GWRR crossing on the other side of town. Neither are used very often by trains, but because there is a stop sign there, legally, auto's must stop. The interchange in particular is a great hangout for cops trying to raise their traffic ticket count. There are three restaurants within 1/10th of a mile of the crossing, all of which are great places for cops to sit and watch to see if people stop or not. Even though the interchange only sees about one train crossing it every couple weeks, if that. Strangely though, Hwy 278, a 5 lane state road through Covington, crosses the same interchange about 100 yards away, and is completely unguarded. No signals, no stop signs, no nothing. The locomotive has to creep out into the crossing wailing on the horn. Very rarely do I see the conductor walk out into the street and stop traffic and use road-flares.
