How much traffic is reported
The busiest crossing at 183rd Street on Kansas City Southern Railway Company is credited with 17 train movements a day; the middle of the range across all 18 is 1. These are counts the operating railroad reported to the FRA, not measurements, and a crossing's figure can be several years old.
The highest timetable speed recorded at any crossing here is 59 mph.
Warning devices
2 of the 18 crossings carry gates and 3 have flashing lights without gates. 13 (72%) have neither, which means crossbucks, a stop sign, or no marking the inventory records at all. The inventory describes equipment, not how a crossing performs.
Horns and quiet zones
No crossing here is recorded under a whistle ban, so trains sound the standard horn pattern on approach.
Incident history
Form 57 records 3 reported incidents at these crossings since 2016, involving 6 injuries. Incident counts follow traffic and exposure as much as anything about a crossing itself.
- 187th Street — 3 reported incidents
What this page is not
This is a summary of a federal inventory, not a measurement and not a rating. RailContext does not score crossings, streets or towns, and nothing here says a crossing is safe or unsafe, or that a neighbourhood is quiet or loud. Train counts are estimates the operating railroad filed, sometimes years ago, and a quiet zone does not guarantee silence.
To see the individual crossings nearest one address rather than a whole city, use the address check.
