Some shots from area around Jalan Pisangan Lama (EN: Pisangan Lama street) near Jatinegara station in Indonesia:

This shot featured former Tokyo Metro Yurakucho Line 7000 series (trainset 7117) serving Bekasi Line, seen here waiting clear for entering Jatinegara station.

About 1 year later near the site of former grade crossing #52 (after the market was demolished for making way of construction of new concrete wall), with former Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line 6000 series (trainset 6117) just left the Jatinegara station.

We could see the daytime express train "Menoreh" from Semarang Tawang station is about to entering Jatinegara station, with GE U20C #CC203 22 (CC203 98 10) acts as the lead locomotive for this train (this locomotive is now owned by Sidotopo locomotive depot).
 
Trinity Railway Express, Fort Worth Texas. At the 35W maze. https://goo.gl/maps/PEP6EHZzamRMCiwH6

By the way, there is a railfan live cam in that maze at (2) Ft. Worth, Texas USA | Cam of the Week - Virtual Railfan LIVE - YouTube

Cool! I was visiting that camera the other day and I've driven above on one of those crazy bridges and on/off ramps. It's like a zoo up there on the highway.

If you go back in time to December 2018 and move up the road, you can see Amtrak at the station.

If you change the time back, you can see NS 7616 also in the same spot.

And here's another locomotive with some grain cars in the same spot right by the old PRR caboose.

A diamond and railroad crossing combined!

Here in Florida's Bone Valley CSX's Ex-ACL Bone Valley Sub crosses CSX's Ex-SAL Valrico Sub and both subs cross Mulberry street (a.k.a. Florida State Road 37) in Mulberry Florida.

Here's a video I found of three 6-axle diesels going thru the crossing, fast forward to 6:26 in the video.

 
A quiet night view of Track 20 Tokyo Station, with a Shinkansen at rest.

Great discovery!

From that photo it is clear that the ones parked at Tokyo Station Platform #20 is Shinkansen E4 series "Multi-Amenity eXpress" or "MAX" scheduled to be completely retired from JR East on Autumn 2021, with the trainset number is supposed to be #P6 (retired on December 2017).
JR East originally planned to completely retires the E4 series in 2016, but the retirement was announced in 2017 as "being postponed to 2020" due to problems within total capacity of every trains during rush hour times (as E4 series could carry up to 1,634 passengers if coupled in 8+8 car formation) that forced JR East to use the E4 series for a slightly longer time than the expected ones. Unfortunately it was again postponed to 2021 after the horrific Typhoon Hagibis (known in Japan as "Reiwa 1 East Japan Typhoon" a.k.a "令和元年東日本台風", alternatively known as "Typhoon #19" a.k.a "台風19号") that heavily damages 10 trainsets (120 cars) of Shinkansen E7 and W7 series of Hokuriku Shinkansen parked at Nagano Shinkansen Depot at the time when the typhoon hits Nagano Prefecture, causing the additional E7 series trains planned for replacing the E4 series to be diverted to Hokuriku Shinkansen as the replacement for damaged units (which eventually scrapped).

Arya.
 
Thank for the additional information.

What I discovered is that many platforms in large complex Japanese railway stations are on street view because the Google camera person walked down the platform. So now we can explore inside the station.
