Is the correct answer "all of them"?
If you go on a Google Earth/Streetview tour of the world, there are many countries that have prioritized grade separating or closing dang near every former "level crossing". There's probably too many in the US to ever consider such a thing, but the UK is eliminating about 100 a year and have about 6,000 to go.

The UK is a much more densely populated country than the US.
There are many of them in the western US that would be absurd to grade separate for the one farmer that drives over it a day.
There are those who travel, and those who travel well

up maintains all that like its an active line, but i've not see anything on that line in years, save a work train that might park near there, on / near the bridge over the poudre.
