Cutting out the photo to save space and because you can see it in the post above:  If what I have found and show here is the right place, it would be hard to do worse than to have a grade crossing here, as it would be at a low angle with a curve in the railroad.  Picture bouncing across the track with superelevtion in the curve at this sort of angle, and worse two tracks.  Then think about sight lines.  This location cries out for a grade separation, whether over or under.  Not having the topo, hard to say which would be better.  I can think of a couple of reasonable and practical ways to do it, either over or under, but it would not be cheap.
